Reply #24: Gawd, am I a geek...

"10. Comic Books: This is kind of a dork/geek linear superposition"

Nowhere near what I used to be. But still like a couple titles.

"9. RPGs: 100% geek (guilty as charged)"

Belong to 2 RPG groups.

"7. Star Wars: 100% geek (guilty as charged)"

I enjoy the movies, Gave up on the novels. The comic books suck, they always sucked.

"3. Star Trek: 100% geeky, can't be overdone to dorkiness. One of my best friends from grad school was a very attractive female trekker, who attended cons in costume (either as Dr Crusher, or Deanna Troi, or as a Klingon warrior babe). She routinely got glommed."

An original Trekker (NOT Trekkie!) here, since 1966, been to a couple conventions but never in costume.

"2. Furries/Plushies: I hate to admit it, but this is geeky, rather than dorky, as the people I know who are into this scene are computer people and engineers. They claim they're into it for the comics. Suuuuure..."

Contrary to the POS article from the horse's ass who wrote that Houston newspaper article, "Furrys" and "plushies" are not always together, in fact most Furrys (like me,) consider Plushies, (people who have sex with plush toys,) to be simply bizarre.

And there are some DAMN good comic books in the Furry genre.
Extinctioners
Shanda The Panda
Omaha The Cat Dancer
Xanadu (No, nothing to do with the musical)
Katmandu

And look up "Zig Zag Tiger Skunk" on the internet, you're in for a treat.

So am I a geek?
You bet.

But a nice geek you wouldn't mind hanging around.
