Finally Geeks Available in Action Figure Form

Posted by ryuzaki0 on from the oracle-is-hotter dept.

Treebiter1 writes "Happy Worker, a specialty toy developer, has introduced a new action figure the "GeekMan Action Figure." Billed as the "a hunk o' hunk of nerdly love." His "super powers" include ungodly coding abilities; opposite sex repulsion; analytical reasoning; ability to create technical acronyms; less than ideal personal hygiene routine. This is kind of an oddity, perhpas I should say it is an oddity, but it might make a funny gag gift."

    Nerd: Too smart for this planet. Too smart to know it. His/her intelligence interferes with normal daily activities (social relations, sex, walking and chewing gum at the sametime). Seeks perfect solutions to all (interesting or not interesting) problems. Related terms: Propeller-head, Freaking Nerd

    Geek (Originally referred to the lowly circus performer who bit the heads off of small animals for the shock value to the audience): Anyone overly enthusiastic about ANY one area (i.e. music geek, astronomy geek, computer geek). Usually extremely technically skilled. Usually extremely clever, seeking out clever solutions to interesting problems (i.e. Hacks). Usually extremely intelligent. Driven by their passion for the subject to the point of obsession. Related terms: Uber-geek, Alpha-geek
