Beauty and the D&D Geek!

[Banshee16]

There's a certain famous person, whose exact identity and position I can't talk about because it could result in a Grandma-upsetting tangent, who claimed that all the books he ever read could fit in his car's glove compartment.

Now, this was quite obviously a lie, as I don't believe it would be possible for anyone with a Harvard education to have read so few books. But if you think about what could have been the intention of such a claim, and what has been the result in 2000 and 2004? It could explain stuff about the "dumb girl act" celebrity bimbos are pushing.

Heh....it would be a funny statement, given that a single textbook required for one Harvard course would likely fill up a glovebox....some of those books are huge....they make Ptolus look like a pocketbook..

Of course, given we both know who this famous person who will remain nameless is, I won't say anymore.

If the idea of pretending to be dumb is used, so that your opponents underestimate you, then that's not necessarily a bad idea. But if it's because people will like you better because you appear dumb, then that is a really sad statement on our civilization(s). That, however, ties in with my rather cynical views of popular culture, and just gets me too depressed to even think about

If any of you doubt that gaming attracts a fair share of freaks and weirdos, just read this thread.

Or this thread if you're not going anywhere for a while.

The reason the public thinks that gamer = geek is because it's true a lot of the time.

Hold on there, pal.

Uh... no. That's absurd.

I make a thread to stick up for a fellow gamer that gets pointed out as a geek for playing D&D by some lame tv show and I have gamers trying to bash me for it. (Yes I'm aware that he told the producers he's a DM...but me pointing that out wouldn't have been as funny...thanks for stealing my thunder guys).

It's good to know so many gamers are real life Paladins...ready to charge in, stand up for beer models, and smash down BBEGs like myself. Lord knows those LG Paladins don't know when someones just being silly or not. I guess I should have posted here to laugh at the complete geek on TV that not only plays D&D, but he DMs it as well!

I also apologize to the shot glass girl and the Hooters babe. I'm sure you're both morally strong selfless women and it's not your fault that you look so good in a 2 y/o boys t-shirt.

You too sir, have won this thread and put me in my place...

I can hardly think of a better time to close a thread that's heading south.

Klunk.
