Don't look at me! No, seriously, don't. You'll do yourself an injury. I forgot to shave this morning:

Me too--I'm sometimes nerdy, sometimes geeky, and often both simultaneously

Thanks everyone for participating--I should have made the poll multi-select--I'm sure we would have gotten a lot more "...I'm more attractive than average..." responses

Now, back to my regularly scheduled activity

Hmm... according to the chart, I was apparently a nerd before I was a geek.

You know what this makes me think of?...

"You don't understand. I coulda had class. I coulda been a geek. I coulda been somebody... instead of a nerd, which is what I am, let's face it."

Maybe we need a thread of quotes that use geek and/or nerd instead of the original words...

Based on the quasi-definitions in the thread (and with the exception of being a carnival performer and biting the head off of a live chicken) I'd definitely say I'm a nerd.

Slide RULES!
I was waiting for a crack about slide rules. They're the acid test of a nerd, all right.

Along with Ham Radio and amateur astronomy.

Definitely have been looking at some circular rules lately, a Pickett 11" is currently on eBay for over $100, but some of the little Sama and Etani Concise jobs with periodic tables and conversion charts sometimes go for under $30.

Cheers,
