I just don't get the whole "fake geek girl" thing. Not to say I don't believe it happens, I've seen it. I just don't understand it.

Let me see if I can put this in perspective: the assumption is that an attractive woman (or any woman, for that matter) is talking to you, showing an interest in the things you care passionately about, quite possibly dressed in a way that you find alluring, and your response is... drive her away with verbal abuse? Speaking as a life-long geek, this does not compute. Unless you are truly convinced she's after your incredibly priceless comic book collection or intends to steal your vital organs when you're not looking, what's the motivation here?

Now, seize up in panic and have no idea what to do except stand there and mumble as your life-long dream finally comes true (a woman is talking to you, showing an interest in the things you care passionately about)? Sure. Been there.

Would you accept Don't Be a Dick Dollars? Last I checked the exchange rate in the WSJ, they were going at 10 Wesleys to the DBDD (or "Double Ds", as the kids call them), or approximately 0.65 Wheatons.

Facebook and internet memes. That's how it starts. The rest is just the normal course of evolution.

Sgt. Pepper's Lonely Hearts Club Band. Like all the greatest tragedies in history, we must never forget.

The greatest wisdom I ever learned from Bruce Campbell was this: that was just pillow talk, baby.

On vacation recently my wife missed our exit so we had to rely on the iPhone. It kept trying to direct us back to the closed bridge that we obviously couldn't drive across, so I finally had to bust out my 1337 map-reading skills, scroll around on that tiny little screen and figure out how to manage to get around the damn thing myself.

Yeah, that about describes what living with him was like.

Not sure if it counts as a weapon, but I did hear tell of a guy in a shouting match who reached into his pants, grabbed a fistful of his own pubic hair, ripped it out, stuck it in his mouth, chewed on it, and spat it at the other guy.

Ended the shouting match.
