Quotations, Memes and Jokes - Mwaa? What? Then who the **** IS a geek?

[jack]

Apparently I'm half a geek. And so is Naath. Eh? I didn't think I was VERY, but I thought the majority of my answers fell into the "very geek" category, so was surprised.

The one question I couldn't answer was "Word association: Britney Spears" because I don't think of ANY sort of anatomy, I think of a flip-top samsung mobile phone, because I was testing the screen at work for ages, and one of only two videos available to play on it was a Britney Spears. I think the spears->silicON is a pretty geeky association :)
</td><td valign="top">You are a geek liaison, which means you go both ways. You can hang out with normal people or you can hang out with geeks which means you often have geeks as friends and/or have a job where you have to mediate between geeks and normal people. This is an important role and one of which you should be proud. In fact, you can make a good deal of money as a translator.

Normal: Tell our geek we need him to work this weekend.

You [to Geek]: We need more than that, Scotty. You'll have to stay until you can squeeze more outta them engines!

Geek [to You]: I'm givin' her all she's got, Captain, but we need more dilithium crystals!

You [to Normal]: He wants to know if he gets overtime.

Who the **** IS a geek?

Hey, that's only, like, 5% higher than me! This test is too discrete :)

Dating tip: Don't date a geek of the same persuasion as you. You'll constantly try to out-geek the other.

Is trying to out-geek each other a problem? I thought you and Rich had fun at that sort of thing :)

Last time I did it I scored fairly high.

When I did it earlier today, I scored 37%. I'm left wondering why I'm less geeky than I was.

40%. Frankly, they got it wrong.

[cartesiandaemon.livejournal.com]

LOL. Good point. It's amazing how often people don't point that out vis-a-vis internet tests...

Default state, innit.

See? I knew I wasn't much of a geek!

</td><td valign="top">OK, so maybe you ain't a geek. You do, at least, show a bit of interest in the world around you. Either that, or you have enough of a sense of humor to pick some of the sillier answers on the test. Regardless, you're probably a pretty nifty, well-rounded person who gets along fine with people and can chat with just about anyone without fear of looking stupid or foolish or overly concerned with minutiae. God, I hate you.</td>

I notice all the pictures seem to be attractive ones; this doesn't fir with the geek stereotype.

11%? Knowing elvish is worth more than 11% all by itself! :)

[rochvelleth.livejournal.com]

Ah, but they didn't have a question about Elvish... :(
