I keep reading it "The Greek Hierarchy" and going "Oh, boy! A Greek disc- oh, wait... never mind."
"We probably could have saved ourselves, but we were too damned lazy to try very hard... and too damn cheap." - Kurt Vonnegut

"Now if you remember all great paintings have an element of tragedy to them. Uh, for instance if you remember from last week, the unicorn was stuck on the aircraft carrier and couldn't get off. That was very sad. " - Kids in the Hall

Re-reading this thread and seeing Myste's posts just made me miss her all over again.

Amateur SF/fantasy writer. Altho MagickMaker just accused me of being a Trekkie. Honestly! After all I've done for that child! ;)

I'll pack us some lunch and we're off to the school
They call us Nerds 'cause we're so uncool
Straight A students, teachers' pets.
They call us Nerds but we've no regrets
So go ahead, put us down,
One of these days we'll turn it around
It won't be long, mark my words
The time has come for revenge of the Nerds!

So if you're a dork, a spazz or a geek
Stand up and be proud, don't be meek.
We may not be good looking, but here's a suprise
Nerds are great lovers, in disguise..


Bah. Can't remember the lyrics right.

Too funny! Mostly because it's right on. . .

As I said before (in the Superhero dating quiz) I find nerds/geeks pretty damn hot. . . for the most part! Nothing wrong with geekiness in my book!
