And I bet that damn plastic (trooper) and rubber (klingon) armor wouldn't do NOTHIN' against a .45 caliber lead slug.
LOL!
When do we go?
We could SO take 'em! We have BOOTS.

I'm so glad I managed to open this topic and express myself honestly without offending you guys.
Honestly, that's one of the reasons I 'shy away' from other . . .shall we call them. . .'enthusiasts' of other groups, because for some reason, I always manage to find the ones who get all offended if you DON'T go to the same levels they do. . .with the makeup, costumes, language, etc.
Another reason why I really appreciate you guys. Especially while I'm out here 'in the black'.

Hey Static, wheres the Ren Faire you work at in NC?
This is all completely true by the way. I just like to view them as a different variety of people. You know, like the French or something.
And yes, I would happily join you all at the big storm-trooper/klingon ass-kicking thingy.
Dont ask me silly questions.
I wont play silly games.

Somebody tries to kill you you go ahead and try to kill them right on back!

You got a Jayne hat?! Where did you get a Jayne hat? Captain, can I have some money for a Jayne hat? ;)

I am sooo confused, here. I have indeed been confused right out of my usual lurking to respond. I have never dressed up as anything, attended any fan convention, or any of that but I know that I am undoubtedly, unquestionably, and professionally a geek.
And I like being one.
I like knowing how to fix things, and why things are physically possible--or not. And because of this I HATE technobabble. It's just distracting nonsense, so I just tune it out. I love the fact that Firefly doesn't really engage in that sort of thing. Let's just keep it at the captain dummy talk level.
So I am thinking here, that we just lack a proper definition of the word. Which just goes to what a geek I am!
Cheers,
Shorty

I'm a member of the Royal Court at the Carolina Renaissance Festival just outside Charlotte, NC.
I wasn't there THIS season because I was too busy killing terrorists and such, but I'll be back NEXT season.

Why yes. . .and many years ago when I was in college at UNCG, Tera Pitts (now Tera someone-else) recruited me to work security for them with my roomates and a couple of others.

I'm afraid that I have to come down on the side of my dear friend Sarah Zettel on this one. It is part of her own personal philosophy that "Everyone is a geek about something." I completely agree with her.
