Yeah, geek love. I agree that general population folks should not be allowed to give off fake geek sign, though. I still can reliably work out people l`m going to get along with by throwing out the odd hhgttg ref.
 
I can tell I`ve been sick for a while because I find myself deeply irritated at noticing the change in narrator voice in this 2008 episode of How It`s Made. Where is Soothing Zen Voice? This guy is too enthusiastic.

I have a Keyblade against one wall and Mothra hanging from my ceiling fan

were you there when my husband gave a long-winded rundown of 80s WWF superstars to our patient waiter?

Trying not to die laughing...because the waiter liked your husband's wrestling more than he liked my Wonder Woman, and because your husband knows everything past and present.

my BiL has a collection of orcs and knives

Ooh, what kind of orcs? Uruk Hai? Lurtz? He's HOT.

Not like I looked too closely, but he used to carve and sell little fantasy figurines as a teenager. Too bad he's him, because you two have a lot of subject overlap. Anyhoo, I'll keep my nerd glasses on. I know lots of them.

I am tangentially geek adjacent and because of the stuff I have picked up, the non-you people in my life mistakenly think I am a geek in the sci-fi fantasy vein.

There was an LJ quiz a while back to find out how geeky/nerdy you are, and I came up as 50% nerd. The description of this said "You are invaluable, because you can translate between nerds and management. 'Tell the computer geeks we need to make the system faster.' 'The captain says we need more speed from the engines.' 'Och, the dilithium crystals canna take it!' 'He says they need better servers.'"

I have a VERTEBRA in a shadow box hanging on the wall

You saw the photos of my ex's apartment, right? This seems quite normal to me.

I don't think I have a lot of visible geek going on. I'm a stealth geek.

I just spent half an hour at Geek 2 Geek and I'm very excited - the people there seem like my people!

If nothing else, it looks like a fun place, what with all the clever people and their clever ads.

Damnit, missed FNL again! But for a good cause. Neighbor had her sisters and a friend over and they were dudding up for the local Love (Hate?) the 80s night, so beer and pizza and a whole lot of laughing. One year I'll go, but I have enough this weekend. Anyway, their outfits were AWESOME. And their hair was high and crimped.

Watching the sisters interact was funny. Actually, they all were, the friend was a high school friend (they are all locals.) It's a family of 6 girls.

Does anyone else think that it's a little ominous or something that the two hosts of the National Memorial Day Concert are Gary Sinise and Joe Mantegna? They are fake cops, not even fake military! I mean, currently.
