I think now days geek means a person that is knowledgeable about math and science. Maybe just a little eccentric. Kind of like Bill Nye. (All of us here.)

A long time ago it was a side show freak that bit heads off of animals. Kind of like Ozzy Osborne. More than a little eccentric. (Some here are both!)

I used to have my own strong opinions, but I've forgotten them since I've left high school and my group of nerd/geek/whatever friends. (We were the nerds of the nerds.)

Same here.

The jocks didn't know that the cheerleaders secretly loved us and were quick with a hug or a little kiss to help them with how to solve a problem. hehehe

I would have helped anyway as knowledge must be shared.

High School Nerd.

Seersucker pants, physics joke t-shirt, watch around backward, canteen, two slide rules, clipboard with formulas and log tables book.

Anyone else want to embarrass themselves?

Can you guys see that? The caption goes "Definitely trying to maximize the ridiculous factor." From Nov. 2009, I hope I don't look quite that young any more.

It shows up fine. I wish I looked that young again.

Mine is from 1975 or 1976.

Just a warning, while this song IS safe for work(or to play in public), a good chunk of these songs ARE NOT SAFE FOR WORK OR TO PLAY IN PUBLIC.

Zombies and Valentine's Day combination seems very geeky to me, that's why I posted it :)

I'm an EE, so that's okay too.

Well, retired project manager now.

Well, then this last-minute Valentine's Day gift idea may be just the thing for you ...

In stock at Home Depot - 3-prong Electrical outlet covers "for the wired couple".

Have a well-grounded Valentine's Day, all. :)
