I am a total geek in disguise.

I have a degree in Software Development, and work by day as a Network Support Engineer with my Cisco qualifications.

In the evenings, I am partial to taking engine, and other parts of cars apart..... And hunting for chicks (when not with the missus....)

So which one are you??
 
I once got told in school that a 'dude' was a camels foreskin, lmao.

Does 'dude' mean a camel's private?

Answer:

it is a camels willy but not always, some belive it is just a myth.
Scientists are tryng to work it out but are not sure.



I think scientists have too much time on their hands!!
 
I watch Star Trek...

I can be a geek! And not in the biting a chicken's head off kind of way!
 
Sometimes, depends in which field as the term has moved from IT to various different areas hasnt it??

Work in IT, so its a part of the job, however I am nothing compared to some of the Geeks I know!!!

Jeez get a life i say!! LOL
 
I remember my first day of Uni... sat down in the lecture hall and the guy to my right had "Y3S, 1M A G33K" plastered on his t-shirt and the guy to my left had quite elf-like ears.

Needless to say 90% of the people in the lecture hall all had long hair.
 
My point with the dictionary quotes earlier was that with slang words everything is open to interpretation. One persons meaning of a slang word and be totally different to anothers.
 
I get asked for information more than anyone else at work, but usually it's "what area code is +45?" etc.

My brain is sponge for normally useless facts! So yes.

edit; Denmark if anyone's interested . . . lol :hi:

I think most (if not all) understand the general meaning of "geek".
I didn't really intend for it all to get scientific and... ahem.... geeky! :happy:

You went to uni with Spock??? You're probably the envy of the geek world mate!

I'm a bit like that.
Example: Did you know there is a test to see if you stick have hiccups??
The next time you've got hiccups and one hasn't come out for a fews minutes but you're not sure if it's safe to get on with your life, hiccup free. Well... give a loud cough. If you hiccup straight after the cough you still have them. If you don't then they've gone.
Trust me, it works. You heard it here first.

PS: What area code is 876???
 
I could consider my self as a geek as sometimes i just act like a complete nob and find it really funny , like doing mad dances in my car at lights and some of the look's i get are **** funny some even laugh ...Its all for reaction and i really get a buzz out of it , i love acting like a nob , life is one big buzz to me although people might not think that on here cos i say harsh penaltys for thiefs but im a geek really i have like a split personality ...hense being on meds ..lmfao
 
I wouldn't say thats being a geek..... it's just being a nob.


depends how you look at it , i think thats what eythreee was on about maybe im wrong , if your a gadget freek and computer geek then to me that's a nerd ..not a geek , a geek to me is someone who does daft stuff , or maybe its being a nob either way great fun ..

What makes you a geek?

Im doing a degree in Computer Science atm, but other than that I'm a pretty cool dude.

What makes you a cool dude?

Well I done a computer networking degree, cisco qualified... Need I say anymore?! Even though I now work in the investment management sector, I still like to do my I.T courses...yep that makes me a geek I hear u say!

Also the fact I love to take everything apart and put back together, or break on many occasions. My gf thinks I'm a geek for tampering with my car and being anal about keeping it clean, also how often I'm searching around this site! She constantly calls me a geek! Haha " your not on that stupid site again are you?" lol
