    Does it make me any less of a geek if I have no friggin idea who any of those people are?

    We need trading cards or something.
    Hey! We could even make yet another geek convention around them too! Just imagine: The 1st Annual Geeks Collecting Geek Trading Cards Convention. That would make it the... AGCGTCC. Oh. My. God! Its like, DNA or something! That could be our theme! A big double helix for a logo, and giant stands of "geek DNA" all over the convention center! Of famous geeks too, like Einstein! Yeah! That would totally RULE!

    Wow, I am so brilliant, I even scare myself sometimes!




    (PS: Knowing my luck, someones already started this idea somewhere. That or one of you nuts will take it seriously and actually attempt it. I don't know which would be more hillarious... or frightening.)
