I’m a geek. I’ve been geeky most of my life- in high school, while other kids were making out in the student lounge or playing hacky-sack out in the parking lot, I was hanging out with my geeky friends in the computer lab.
As a result, I have a whole sack of jokes sitting around that I will never be able to tell except to my friends. Stuff like:
“Your company uses newsgroups as its primary support vehicle? Wow, you guys are so old school you’re wearing clocks around your necks, aren’t you? Do you have Grandmaster Flash on Tier 2?”
Or:
“Did you hear about that security ‘expert’ who said that games like World of Warcraft are helping terrorists get training on weapons that look identical to the real thing? Yeah, I guess I’d better watch out for the guy on the airplane with a staff that has tentacles on the end of it. I’ll cast my Rank 12 Shadowbolt on him.”
I’m hoping that maybe some of you will get it.
