Its not the name, but the fact that I slipped something geeky past her without her knowledge. She vetoed all the other comic/sci-fi/fantasy names that came up with for both our children, so I think it was more that I managed to slip it in than what the actual name was.

That is the most beautiful and precious thing I have ever heard. I could cry.

It's a great "They Might be Giants" song. I always thing of my Brother and Sister in law when I hear it.

Okay, gotta conjure up something else cause my last seems a bit lacking now... ooh...

1. I have a published superhero novel. I have two more in their first drafts. (one character sits on my bookcase in HeroClix form!)
2. I took Japanese and while in Mandarin class as our final, I directed, partially scripted, filmed, and yadayada, a Street Fighteresque video final complete with music and myself as Spider-Man (climbing up a wall, web shooters to finish Goku... victory dance and music being the 60s theme song...).
3. I dress up in varying costumes to come to work (college campus, cafeteria) and perk up the students. Seems to cut through the funk of being in college sometimes.
4. Ah, the best for last... At the end of every semester, I come in on the last day and spend the entire day building... LEGO sets in the cafeteria. This past fall, I built my entire Star Wars army and filled three tables (table hog...). That's 300 some odd troopers of varying styles, several Gunships, a dropship, half-dozen walkers, a tank, and some battle droid stuff for good measure. All the Sith Lords and Grievous, most of the Jedi available, and of course, the DK dictionary in case anyone wanted to peruse it. Had half a dozen kids helping me build some stuff and not one person who entered the cafeteria could not pass my tables and hang around for awhile. Everyone had to have a look or take pictures. It was my Crowning Moment of Awesome.
Next. Maybe you're a geek if you know what CMoA came from.

Here's a photo of that picture frame that I was talking about.

I'm SOOO not geek...

This is, of course, the epitome of awesome on these boards.

Now that's impressive.

Wow, I was gonna say I saw Superman 3 more than once...but I can't touch this.

The frame itself is about 1.5 feet across in diameter. It is currently on our wall. He also made a character card to go with it. He went all out for me for christmas this year.

Ive never fealt so normal in my life.......... thank you thread.

AND it's the one from my IC starter!

54 years old and I still argue about who would kick who's butt if Bats and Supes got into it.




































(Bats, and p*** off if you think otherwise!)

This IS normal for me. It has been a huge part of my life for as long as I can remember. People generally think geeks act like this:

Stereotypical Geek

This is not the case with me or most of my friends. Granted, the type exist. Believe me when I say that I've encountered them, but this is not me. I've kissed a girl. Hell, I'm married and live in a house that I own. (not my mom's basement as society would have you believe)

Don't hate me because I'm Geek

Serious much? im not!

Im a geek.. i got my comics.. my electronics.. my heroclix.. but my OBSSESSION is Football.. as for others here its the comics or the characters them selfs. Tattoos, wedding cakes, ties, costumes are all cool.. but alittle out of my domain.. As im geeky... some of you make me feel normal .

(disclaimer.. Normal as in the term Society devoloped...and what the Media claims is of Average nature)
