I bypassed this topic earlier but I decided I'd chime in. Especially since someone on one of these boards thought he was the only one over 30 on the board. Not that I can help dispel that impression:

What about dorks? Not in the Farside way. (Gary Larsen wrote that he couldn't use that word in a comic because of it's implied meaning. Get the Farside book that he published after he retired the strip to find out what that means.) But I used to be a band dork in college. That's what we called ourselves. Or at least this band girl I dated called us that.

P.S. Gotta love the OS X spell check.

Geeks are the Cool ones with Girlfriends and Make a Ton of Money.
Nerds are the ones who work at menial jobs while never succeeding.

At least that's what Hollywood tells me to believe!

ive always thought of a geek as a multifaceted nerd. a geek of several specialities if you will. a nerd would be like a role-playing nerd. where all they talk about is their 25th level paladin and their sword. ive played some d&d too in my day, so this isnt a slam against d&d. just d&d nerds. oh, you get my point.

Oye me... I feel as if i should go and start my own thirty-somtehing forum for Mac users, now... BTW, NewPismoOwner, that was me who said that!

OIIO - I think when the Willow reference was brought up it was because the whole Wiccan-Vegan-Lesbian thing sounded like Buffy the Vampire Slayers' best friend, who as of this season has officially acknowledged her lesbianism on the TV show.

- Mind you, I just realised how much of a dork I am that I know who Willow is, especially given my age!

So, what does everyone think of a thread for listing dorks, nerds, and geeks? A seperate one for each, so we can way in as to whether we agree or not.

Emdeessea - Now, now, you're going to give women on the Apple forums a bad name if you keep talking like that! =)
