    ...you and a coworker are discussing disposable tableware and one says they are using a plate that's IDisposable and you all crack up rolling on the floor. Sometimes I prefer not to step back and watch myself from a distance. :doh:

    Geek, maybe, but discussing disposable tableware surely costs you man points.

          For some reason (that I can't recall) I should be nervous about this, yes? :)

              I still remember that conversation in college, you know the one where you and all of your classmates are outside discussing the lecture and then the conversation stops and you realize that other than some of the prepositions you were all using a vocabulary that took years of training to master and no sane rational person could comprehend. Years in the business world as thankfully deprived me of this. As I read your post again I wonder just how you would dispose of the plate? Canadians don't like shotguns do they?

                          Amazing, a buddy and I just ate $90 worth of sushi. Realistically, I don't usually spend much when looking. I am just going to go and get a gym membership and lifts some weights, stay on my diet, keep looking, and maybe grow a beard for +1 manliness.

                                I commend you for this lifestyle choice. Not sure about all that gym & fitness stuff though. :) I've had a beard since I was 18, except for 4 years when I worked for Ronny McD. If you haven't had one before, be prepared for the itchy stage. It should only last a few days.

                                          You know you're a geek when you have a discussion like this and then write a post about it on a site with nearly 6 million other "geeks".
