Seattle appreciates comics-semicolon-kink-Mac geeks?
Well, yes.
I've seen honest faces before. They usually come attached to liars.

Spike's Bitches 23: We've mastered the power of positive giving up.
[NAFDA] Spike-centric discussion. Lusty, lewd (only occasionally crude), risque (and frisque), bawdy (Oh, lawdy!), flirty ('cuz we're purty), raunchy talk inside. Caveat lector.

Yes, you're right, but he was one of those mean-spirited types of guys who got off on the fact that he was a foot taller than me and therefore had a huge reach advantage.
He loved being able to win all the time. Big jerk. I wish I'd taken krav back then.

I can't even.
By SCA-style, I actually meant just that he had the bright idea to wrap piping with foam and duct tape and then whap at each other in back of his apartment. I'm sorry, that was an insult to SCA.
Many SCA people have done stuff that dumb in their backyards, it's just that in the actual context of the SCA, safety is a real priority. The people who formed the early SCA groups in this part of the world 35 years ago, didn't have access to proper equipment, so they would pad the inside of plastic buckets with towels and whack each other with wooden rods. The equipment is off the scale better now.

Ah yeah, we get guys like that from time to time. We put them in with the really big guys until they learn to play nice.

Or SCA fighting. Being big is an advantage. It isn't definitive.

Greece's financial crisis threatens to take down all of Western civilization - a civilization they themselves founded. A rather tragic irony - which is something they also invented. - Jon Stewart
Yeah, but, even at their geekiest music fiends have an interest in something with a bit of cachet.
Like bubblegum pop?

Wow. I never kept a diary in another language/alphabet. I feel not so geeky now. But in a slightly wistful way, not in a gloaty way.
Also, I'm hungry. So I think I'ma go eat early, cause I didn't have lunch.

I kept a diary in dwarf-runes when I was 16

I didn't keep a diary in the Tengwar or Angerthas or Cirith. Too much work, and I'm a LAZY BASTARD when it comes down to it.

However. I do speak it, as much as can be spoken (unless/until Christopher, the jerk, gets over his snit and publishes the grammars for Sindarin and Quenya). They'll never be even as "real" as Klingon (klingonaase) or Esperanto, as there's no contemporary, useful vocabulary. Neologisms in Elvish sound extreeeeeemely contrived...and what's the point? In-context, Elves wouldn't WANT to talk about the social, political, or technical concepts of Man.
Whoops. Off I went again.
See? Warned you I did, yes, Preciousss...he talkssss for hourssss and hoursss and won't SSSSHUT UP.
