12. Eh. When the time comes, geeks and nerds will join together
with lackeys of dweebs to take over the world with binary code as our weapon and 'E' or 'I' anything as our defense.

A country store near my home, owned by the same people we rent from. They own half the county, actually. It's nice enough... and it's why I can make a killer sandwich ;)

Actually, it might not survive the trip to NM, but Chicago's a lot closer; I can PM you my dorm room address. Mail it there with a note to stick in the freezer. I'll get it on September 2nd. Don't want to miss out on this sandwich. :9 :D

Yes, in a way I am. I like geeky women, too: had a crush on Myra from Family Matters and liked that girl who gives a melting ice cream cone to William Hung in that American Idol Karaoke commercial.

75. I'm so geeky
that when I saw this thread on the Greatest Page (http://www.democraticunderground.com/discuss/duboard.php?az=show_mesg&forum=124&topic_id=142555&mesg_id=142555) I first thought of compilers and the Chomsky Hierarchy.

Two (working on three) computer science degrees should spell it out a bit too.
