Okay, which of you farkers were pictured there??

Near Dayton, Ohio someone has a TROGDOR license plate. I am jealous.

GaidinCanuck: I apparently must hand in my geek card.

What's "GZ TO 11"?

Is this where I facepalm now?

You may. Trampling on an 18" model of Stonehenge is also acceptable.

Rainbow Dash?

Geeky? Really? I mean, I get the brony thing on some level. But geeky it isn't.

LazarusLong42: Rainbow Dash?

One episode particularly hit home for me, as I've been there. The poor thing was up all night fulfilling change orders, and the first thing the client does when she walks in is order MORE changes, including, first and foremost: "It needs to be cooler." (?????!!)

"Do you not like the colors"?
"The color's fine; it just needs to be cooler."
"Do you not like the shape?"
"The shape's fine; it just needs to be cooler."
Could you be more specific?
"It needs to be about 20% cooler."
*headDesk*

I can only imagine the writers/animators had often been in this same boat as well, and loved taking the piss out of this behavior. This kind of nuance, I believe, is what really 'makes it' among the CS/ geek crowd.


Also, it doesn't hurt the main character is a bookworm for magic spells, with literally no friends, being explicitly assigned to go out into the world and make some friends for her research; as if first-year Hermione had been sent out of Hogwarts to go make some friends among muggles. Most geeks have been in that position, too. :/
