My theater design teacher called his down jacket his "motherfucker" jacket. "When I wear this, no one knows if I am a great big motherfucker in an itty bitty jacket or an itty bitty motherfucker in a great big jacket." I still call my down jacket my motherfucker jacket.

Life moves pretty fast. You don't stop and look around once in a while, you could miss it.

No clue. I swear there used to be ones with a martini glass for "no alcoholic beverages" or whatever, and it always made me laugh that the subway was outlawing martinis and craps!
Apparently the Transit Authority was worried about the carnage that usually trails in James Bond's wake.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.
OK, I couldn't figure out how to google what I really wanted, but I did find this NYC Parks "no martinis" sign: [link]

Remember that the frontier of the Rebellion is everywhere. And even the smallest act of insurrection pushes our lines forward.
Maybe the MTA really wanted to say, "Subways aren't for pooping!", but the sign designer misunderstood them.

If that's the case, please let me never find myself in the sign designer's house.

Oh, that. But that's not craps! You don't shoot craps with three dice! Just two.
Hmm.. speaking of nerds.

Coding and Sleeping
I'm thinking that any subject where one can have a lively argument over minutia that is completely nonsensical and pointless to a "normal" person can qualify for an area of geekdom. However, the subject must be outside of mainstream popular culture. For example, talking about what happened in blockbuster movie is not an act of geekery because that movie is in the mainstream of popular culture. However, discussing the director's choices in a two decade old film is an act of geekery because of both the minutia factor and the fading of said film from mainstream popular culture.
