malfunctioning replicator perhaps eh!

This thread should be renamed "Nerds R Us." I'm not participating because I'm still in denial about being a nerd.

Cabbage burrito= gross. Steak burrito= delicious!

Stuart- You are NOT a nerd. You are a geek. You shall prove a valuable asset, indeed............soon.

LL- Your first S&D mission with Krin shall be to locate all cabbage burritos in the Trempire and bring to swift justice all who would visit such a plague upon our complete domination.

jfa02- Good call.......please check the replicator for ethnic sabotage (i.e., sever link between Irish and Mexican cuisines, repair link between cabbage and corned beef and link between burrito and fajitamified beef). Then, a complete background review of eclair to be sure she is not part of the Resistance.
If she is, indeed, one of us and faithful to the Trempire, please find her a good culinary psychiatrist.
(P.S. --- and keep her away from open flame.......my preliminary stoichiometry indicates that a combination of burrito base components and cabbage should result in a level 5 explosive gas.)


This has been verified by my lastest app, from the folks who gave us the TV remote app.
It changes the IR port from a TXer to a RXer, and is called bt.hl.gasdet.prc

wish granted, stu. sorry i didn't see it earlier!

But, Brandon, as pointed out, we are not nerds.........colloquial vernacular notwithstanding, we would be more considered "geeks".
The reason is a purely social one. People of a certain fashion (or lack thereof) which usually results from their braininess are nerds because they dress and act like classic brainy people.
Geeks, on the other hand, are considered to be people who are particularly "brainy" in a given area, say, computers or history (a "computer geek" or a "history geek")......but whose fashion sense may well grace the cover of GQ or Cosmopolitan.
We are Treogeeks.........but decidely NOT nerds.

[brandon]

i'll make you a deal, pete. hang around the forum as long as stu has and be really helpful, and one day, when you're all grown up, i'll rename a thread for you. how's that? jk, dude!

[Pete Lorenz]

Okay.....so what you're saying is that Stu is a nerd ???

[jstant]

I have to chime in here...Though it's taken me many years and many TA meetings (Treonauts Annonymous, that is) to admit and come to terms with my affliction, I have begun to embrace who I am and now can introduce myself with "Hi, my name is jstant and am a Geek."

(Crowd responding: "Hi, jstant")

[Pete Lorenz]

Pleasure to meet you, jstant!
Being a Geek is no longer considered an affliction, in much the same way as being Protestant is now accepted, whereas it was once (prior to Martin Luther) considered heresy.
Rest easy in the knowledge that your high place in modern society is secure and necessary. You are a valuable asset to the Trempire.
