Star Wars Fans in Line... at the Wrong Theater

Posted by CmdrTaco on from the hate-when-that-happens dept.

Rollie Hawk writes "More than a month before the premiere of Revenge of the Sith, fans are already lining up. Outside Grauman's Chinese Theater, eleven diehard Star Wars fans (i.e. lifelong virgins) are waiting for tickets to go on sale. Unfortunately, it appears that the guys with girlfriends will have the last laugh as the Chinese Theater isn't even premiering the film."

    That, and he might need to spend the last few hours going over the house to make sure the girlfriend didn't leave any thing for the wife to find ;=]

    People on slashdot never seem to understand someone when he points at an example of a general happening and makes a general observation. Slashdotters think (or act like they think) that the guy is generalising based on just one event.

    I've always found the word "geek" to be much like the word "nigger".

    I've always found the word 'geek' as a synonym for 'to kill' but then I read a lot of Shadowrun as a youth.

    "I myself have always been proud to be a geek, and have always used the term complimentary to my (geek) friends. I tend to get very pissed off at non-geeks who use that term with me."

    If you were really so proud to be a geek, you wouldn't get mad at the average person for aknowledging your geekiness. I walk into frat parties, go up, talk to girls and introduce myself as a nerd -- because I am (except that unlike most nerds I do seem to be able to get dates). You'd be surprised how many laughs I get for it -- laughs in a good way too. Why? Because I'm not ashamed of what I am. I'm proud to be smart and for a while back in high school I wasn't cuz of the stupid jocks, but then I realized that they don't matter.

    So to sum up my whole post -- if you're offended at being called a geek, then you have your own issues to work out and it's your problem, not theirs.

    Dear me, you seem to have said "LOL". Please turn your geek membership card in at the nearest comics shop or computer repair place. You've failed it, young padawan.

    I've always thought it was a name for a circus freak who did bizarre acts, such as biting the head off of a live chicken.
