Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.

Hardison, and the others don't even come close, geekwise.

That's what I'm thinking, but I realise I may not have much perspective right now. I just came this || close to stuffing my water bottle in co-worker's face and telling him to watch Leverage, touting Hardison's excellence.

Which is to say, I waved it at a distance and told him Hardison was the coolest geek. I wonder how soon before he either snaps or watches...

eta:

But then I started thinking, when will I feel obligated to stop?

I'm 41, so you might not want my opinion.

"Look, son, if it's good enough for Shirley Bassey, it's good enough for you."

I remember when a friend worked at Arthur Andersen

There was a fascinating piece in Spy years ago about how weirdly specific corporate dress culture was in Manhattan, particularly at the big accounting firms. Weirdest to me was that there was a specific Arthur Andersen haircut that male execs were expected to wear, and you would be taken to a specific barber to get it. This was in the 90s, so not just some odd old school thing.

I think that's probably true. Although, Garcia?

Shit's all sorts of different now.

There is no official dress code here, but being a groovy non-profit, the unwritten one is "cover your bits".

We're very stretchy. - Connie Neil

Hee--wrong Weil!

But next week we have our rep from your company coming by to show us changes to the online product - we'll see if he's in a suit.

From what little I've seen, the sales people are always in suits.

Oh, msbelle. Keeping my hopes up for both of you this weekend.

Actually, I lied about our dress code. It is actually;

Wear neat, proper dress.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

I noticed our (male) CEO in a suit with no tie today -- my last male CEO would wear a suit and tie to work, but then always leave the jacket in his office and roll his shirtsleeves up. I think it's interesting the ways in which these men are trying to wear the official thing, but not look too official in it...

Man, if I didn't ship Parker/Hardison so bad...

Nah, I could dally.

"We are the Goon Squad and we're coming to town...Beep! Beep!" - David Bowie, "Fashion"

Completely unrelatedly...coolest geek on TV? I'm biased by my overweening current crush, but Alec Hardison? What's his competition? Chuck Bartowski? Sam Winchester (but he's a bit busy being...other things)?

Castle is a big old geek (much, I suspect, like Fillion), but still not at Hardison's level.

John Crichton?
