I lack the pocket protectors... Does that make me a nerdy geek or a geeky nerd (and proud of it either way)? :mrgreen:

As people are clearly allowed to attack me but I'm not allowed to defend myself, I no longer post to this site.

I'm a loser. I like to program instead of playing video games and watching TV.

Are we trying to decide how we label ourselves or how we are labelled by others.

I reckon I went through a nerd phase, because I had a bowtie that wasn't black, played battleships in science class, and had a calculator that you could draw graphs on. It got so bad, that I used to argue Particle Physics in the Pub.

Now i'm a wannabe Geek, but don't have the T-Shirt or the wristbands to prove it. But I can still count in binary, and do triple integration, so there is hope yet.

Speak for your bloody self!

I just happen to be a 'rough as guts' old bushie, who loves a gutsful of grog, enjoys going to the footy and hanging out with the blue singlet crowd, soends every minute he can filthy as a bush pig in shorts camping up the lake, and who just happens to make a living writing IT in between all that!

Where's the Geek or Nerd in there?

Somewhere deep inside....trying desperately to come out.

geek/nerd is a person who realises most of the people have less intelligence and deals with them accordingly which in turn makes himself relatively less social.And also ..acts normal and hence booring and hence less social. The face also reflects the intellect of a person and sadly..there is something about thinkers that it gives their face a property thats not very attractive mostly.this is my first message. i know what u guys r thinking...i dont think im a nerd.
