Headlines - The great Geek vs Nerd debate

[Kerotan]

And what the hell is a furry geek?

I think he looks quite bemused by it as well

[Andaho]

perhaps another definition for a geek is someone that is still up at this time in the morning replying to forum posts!!!???

[mediaboy]

You stayed up till that early?

I was WAKING up then!

[staffsMike]

It's sunday.. what are you doing waking up at 5.30a0? 5.30pm would be more acceptable

[Steven W]

What about Famous geeks and Nerds, are there any?

I can only think of Napoleon Dynamite, but then again he isn't real...is he?

Oh, whilst I was looking for images on the net for this article, I can across a site called Lesbian Gamers, where they have a male version, for videogame characters with big dongers.

So for any females or lesbians out there, or even some men I suppose:

I work sundays.

Downsides of being a church organist.

I'd say i am probably the electronic/gadget geek... But also maybe the jedi geek as starwars is easily the best saga ever.

[mediaboy]

I take it you've seen the Lego version of the Saga Begins?

I'll post a link if you haven't... just say so.+

Be nice to geeks when you're in school, you might end-up working for one when you grow-up.

Someone said that the other day.

There exact words, to someone that was trying to push me around a little, "Don't do that [name]! Can't you see that in 10 years time, when you go to get your job at Mcdonalds, he's going to own the place?"

It was amusing... and certainly highlighted one of the more intelligent people I know.

Although I don't particulary want to own macdonalds. Greasy place...



Geek be a compliment to me, so anyone calling me a nerd/boff gets raipdly corrected. They haven't worked out that Geek IS a compliment though. They think I'm using being pedantic. As usual.

[gtech]

Neither. And i'm certainly not going to stoop that low where i'm going to talk about it on a forum...oops!

[baius]

I've got a friend who calls me "aspergers"

Me too! (Why did I put an exclamation mark?)

Then they'll think THEY can do it! Then we'll be out of a job...

So if you're a nerd you're being absurd, but if you're a geek you're gone in a week?

perhaps another definition for a geek is someone that is still up at this time in the morning replying to forum posts!!!???

Had to thank you for that.

Bah! It's all Geek to me. My big, fat, Geek Hexus... (Chuckles to self - nerd?)

Gary Gygax

My nerdy hero, may he rest in peace.
