So, originally I was going to entitle this Are You a Geek?, but then I realized that, if we play WoW, we are whether we like it or not. Anyway, I am starting this thread for anyone who wants to display their geek prowess. Pix, RL stories, arts and crafts--anything that will let other readers marvel at your geekhood. I begin this thread with pix of a costume I made myself for Hallow's End, er, Halloween 2008 (if I did the linking right--alas, I am not a computer geek). You'll understand when you see them. I was a robot for Hallow's...Halloween. The costume was made primarily of cardboard and aluminum foil (3 rolls), held together with ample amounts of duct tape and packing tape, in strategic places, and pulled together with healthy doses of ingenuity and imagination. Details: the hands were a pair of black cleaning gloves I got from a dollar store, the feet were a pair of my Lacrosse snow boots, the "heart" was a nightlight I bought at our local grocery store, the protractor from my office served as a "gauge", and other details from my toolbox went into making the helm. The result was something fancy and impractical enough to be worthy of a gnome engineer's fascination (except it had very few moving parts, hence the impractical nature of this beast). Ari and I went to a party, and I couldn't keep it on, because I couldn't move, sit, use the potty, or drink any spiked punch, so I had to take off the costume after about 5 minutes. At any rate, I wanna see some geekitude! Post 'em! My link(s) are below (I hope). ;D s357.photobucket.com/albums/oo18/spaceman4hire/Mr%20Roboto%202008/

Why not? Because then I can be all like this www.youtube.com/watch?v=Keq7LzYoC0c except I could fly in on a suspended deathstar while Leonard Nimoy sings "Samwise the Strong". Oh and I'll be wearing a mario outfit.

Indeed it does. Especially if you can quote at least two of the emails.

OK. I can quote not only emails, but toons from all over the site!
"Consumate V's"
"I dreamed I was a French Long jumper with 8 wooden legs!"
and
"Hey-a! Who-a ordered a knuckle-a sandwich?" "I thought this was a French restaurant!" "Oh... um... snails?"
I can quote every episode, except for all of the emails (there are two hundred of them... I haven't even WATCHED them all!)) sing the Trogdor song by heart, and more! Oh, and I know about the secret Homsar character vid. on the Character page, click the eject button on the VCR. A video labeled "Homsar" pops out. click it and enjoy!

Lol. Did you watch it? Its the best character vid of them all! And, I actually don't think Strong Bad is the main character. No, I KNOW that Homestar is the main character. I know. DIE STRONG BAD FANS! DIE!!! ;D

*shakes head, feigning remorse* Oh, what have I done? What have I started? *evil laugh* You know, some of these things I did not know about. But that makes it possible to increase my Geek skill to, mmm, maybe Journeyman... I learn new things! O, wise Geek-masters! Teach in the ways of...um...geek...dom? *bows in homage to Danzy and Ice*

If you didn't know about Homestar, you have much to learn, young apprentice! Also, so far almost all vids have had some sort of secret. Also, there are 2 new toons, 1 more short, and 1 more holiday special (April Fools day special)! Sbemailiarized Entertainment= GOLD!
And I also have the first two Strong Bad games! Hoping to get Baddest of the Bands for my Wii later this week!
Oh, and is Bigeshu still the geek champion? I think we are pretty evenly matched.
One more thing, for my birthday, I'm getting the star shirt that Homestar wears! I'm going to wear it, like, everywhere! Everybody, Everybody!

You guys are neck to neck in this geek race! And I was left in the dust some where back there. So, I'm embarrassed now. I mentioned this thread to my wife, who plays Arianiris on the Horde side, and she was like: "Oh yeah, Homestar Runner!" I'm so embarrassed. My wife is a bigger geek than me! I am ashamed of my weak geekness... It is clear I have much to learn, lol.

Don't worry Ogin, we shall take you as a padawan. You shall know the geek force and use it to light our darkest hour. (Two points if you know who said it in what 80s animated film and two more if you know who it...unfortunately referred to))
