Sounds messy

messy is better than tiny?

Not if you're in an encounter with a shark.

The only shark I ever want a one on one encounter with is the one in my aquarium...

That's very selfish, can't anyone else watch with you?

@sqrg - You're on a website where you can play a board game and calling people nerds...
pot to kettle?
Admittedly true, but even so :)

I prefer to be known as Geek Overlord. Nerd is a very second class term of academic abuse.

pot...kettle...were all black here...
Guess i was stating the obvious, but there must be some people here that don't see themselves as nerds. Or maybe there are just many different levels of nerdiness.

Oh! Geek Overlord must be the highest level.

Anyone who doesn't see themselves as a nerd yet still participates on this website is in self-denial, RACIST (jokes :P). We should create a help group for any self-hating nerds.
I nearly coughed up my breakfast thanks to you Geek Overlord.

@ // How do you differentiate between 'geek' and 'nerd'

Here is a venn diagram that will help you with that:

Haha, that's quite like how I thought of it.
I always thought a nerd was just a wannabe geek

Where do I fit in I play sports all the time even at the age of 40.When i was younger i was on travelling all-star team in baseball that travelled all over Ontario in tourneys and played high class leagues most of my life now it is just rec softball.But i can still hustle and have a cannon for an arm when the need is there.
I also played hockey till I was 20 and played a few seasons of sportsmen hockey later on.It just got to hard finding players as we got older to keep up with the younger guys.Use to be that to play sportsman hockey you had to be 30 now the age is down to 21 where I am since less and less players want to go out and play and as a 40 year old no matter how good you once where the younger guys just have too much get up and go to compete against.

What are these standards? not trying to be rude, but I can't convert from the standards you suggest into ones I know of. Still, sounds very impressive.
Lets be honest, all of those classifications/social stereotypes are limited, and very few people actually match them exactly.

Well, I'm dead on geek on the Venn Diagram. And I have a t-shirt from Microsfot PDC 05 to prove it...

It's this one right here.

Crap, URL screwed up... Here is a working one.

Eh, I would call myself an upper-left nerd.
I'm fairly smart, but a little obsessed (I like getting bogged down in detail and saying "technically speaking") and just a tad socially inept

according to the venn diagram, that is

the largest chunk of the worlds population is not on the diagram though.
Think of dumb social non-carers ;D

Suuuure :P

Who's worse? The person who made the diagram, or us who compare ourselves based on it?

Person who made it

I don't know. We put together a pretty strong case.

Hey, at least Canada wanted to legalise marijuana, eh FTW!

bump

So, do I win yet, eh?

yes

But not on this thread, which is about cheating accustations...

Au contraire. It's about posting last in Canadian, eh?
