When did geek become chic?

Star Trek (off the scale)

My favorite new place on the web... I spend what little free time I have reading and admiring... the Starfleet Museum!!!

It rocks.

Anyone ever heard the word skippy?  Means the same thing, nerd, geek, fanboy, etc?  And what's worse than just a regular skippy......a rich skippy!  Like Peter Jackson and his skippiness with King Kong.  I was watching the remastered 1933 King Kong with friends on dvd last weekend.  On the special features had Peter showing how he did a lost scene.  He spent a lot of money to make it look authentic and all that.  Such a skippy-lol!

so christine after the movie were you crying again?

That's just Diego's evil twin Skippy talking.

Yeah, sure Diego, I always get a little teared up at the end of King Kong......... j/k, I know what you mean.....

I refer to myself as the she-dork. I play D&D, like SciFi, do Renn Faires, and various other "dorky/geeky" things. But who cares? I'm happy. If someone doesn't like me for the things I enjoy then I don't want to be around them anyway.

Besides, despite the fact that Paris Hilton is someone we are taught to percieve as cool, go up to someone on the street and ask them what they think of her. I'm guessing that there may be a couple of people who want to have sex with her, but other than that the comments are probley all negative. How cool is that?

[Christine]

There are actually people out there who want to have sex with Paris Hilton? Whoa, how crazy!

ya, lots of puberty boys.

[Dorian Lasseter]

To quote a phrase;

"I wouldn't have sex with her using someone else's D***!!!!"

[Rogue Mermaid]

Well, we do have video proof that she can't turn off her phone long enough to enjoy a roll in the hay....Must do wonders for a man's self esteem

Great horny toads! How did we get to this statement?!

I hate explaining myself, but this isn't a paen to...ah, to hell with it. Go back a re-read what I wrote and see if you can figure it out for yourself. (Of course, I went back and re-read what I wrote and I couldn't figure it out at all, but I wish you better luck. )

Redneck truck driver...history dork.....computer geek....... and about a dozen other adjetives/insults have been applied to me at one point in time or another quite frankly my geek friends call me redneck and my redneck friends call me a geek. Hey at least I know where I stand in the world...lol

P.S. As to the whole Paris Hilton thing ...well to be honest I don't find getting impaled by a rib bone during a romp in the hay all that good of an idea

[Captain Bob]

How embarrassing! I suppose my home page brands me with skippyness?
