Star Wars Fans in Line... at the Wrong Theater
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."
[Nice, this will work, I'll start with a quote - that always gets the suckers]
Skinner: Pre-packaged Star Wars characters still in their display box? Are those the limited edition action figures? Why, it's Luke, and Obi-Wan, and my favorite, Chewie! They're all here!...We have a winner!
[okay, now so I don't get an offtopic, i need to make it relevant]
They might be all there, but those fans arent.
[smoooth]

I don't know which is sadder... that you actually knew that link or that I actually understood what it was and clicked it.
Over!, It does not last the whole month of April
Sounds like someone needs a life.
Such as trolling Slashdot?
"Hey babe, I post to Slashdot. Wanna come back to my place see what stuff really matters?"
Help me take back Slashdot. When did 'News for Nerds' become 'FUD and Conspiracy Theories for Extremist Nutjobs'?
Wait...Annakin is Darth Vader?!?!?

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.

As Cartman would say: Aw man that was totally weak.
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.

One things for sure. To put that much thought into it, you definitely are a geek. (in a good way, of course) LOL
I think you meant to say, "what's up my niggah". I believe there was a Chappelle Show skit that addressed the confusion between the terms "niggah" and "nigger".
"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.
Zooooom! Man you missed that point-train.
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 think that there is a subtle difference between the words "geek" and "nigger" that you are failing to recognize. Calling someone a "geek" is equivalent to call them a nerd or a dork. But none of those terms carry with them the context of hundreds of years of racism, oppression, and dehumanization that the word nigger does. If I call you a gee, I am saying you are basically intelligent and socially awkward. If I, a white person, called a black person a nigger (to their face), think about what I would be trying to say about them.
Wow... you missed his point.
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.
