ita, make your sister write a book so I can read it! Oh! I wonder if there are any studies about sexual fetishes and the class system! Why do I have to be at work when I want to be Googling this shit!
Mercy is the mark of a great man. Guess I'm just a good man. Well, I'm all right.

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
Hmm. Does the third world even have time for fetishes? I smell a project for my sister.
Bringing kink to the underprivliged?

I just realized I'm dissecting the minutia over what makes something geeky. I'm a metageek.

It will probably be hard to get government funding.

Sir, it's not an offence to let your cat eat your bacon. Okay? And we don't arrest cats, I'm very sorry.

People who have a fetish for Scrooge McDuck?

I think this is a new one for photographs taken from space: [link]
It's a picture of the entire Earth taken from the dark (night) side.

Cats to become a rabbit should gather immediately now here

I once tried to explain to a rabid hockey fan that being a Buffistas was just like his hobby but with a different inspiration. I cited instant bonding with strangers, fascination with minutae, and odd clothing among my other examples. He just kept staring at me like I was insane.
I think you make a good point. There can be a sort of double standard. I'm neither a sports event nor con goer. However, if I dressed up in an NFL jersey and went to an event to buy sports memorabilia and get an autograph of a player, that would be cool. OTOH if I dressed up in a Star Trek uniform and went to an event to buy trek memorabilia and get an autograph of an actor, I would be a loser.

I'm terrifically busy with my ennui.
Speaking of geekishness, someone on my friendslist has this challenge going. Assemble a team of supervillains, one to fill each slot:
1) The Manipulator (ie, the one very good at playing complicated games & bending people to their will; probably the team leader. See: Lilah Morgan, Ba'al, Danny Ocean, Scorpius, etc.)
2) The Face Puncher (Faith, The Operative, Callisto, Niki Sanders)
3) The Gadget Builder (Kaylee, Niirti, Lex Luthor)
4) The Sex Appeal (Sylar, Mystique, Emma Frost, Eroica, etc.)
5) The One Who Eventually Suffers A Crisis Of Conscience And Turns To Good, Damn Them (Darth Vader, Teal'c, Xena, etc.)

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

I read a book recently that made a very similar point....
