GEEK PALS FOR THE MUNDANE GAL!
Hey everyone, this week the fannish 4 are gonna be helping out Catherine here. Hey Catherine, how ya doing?
Hi Randomling, its great to be on the show.
So why don't you tell us why you wanted to be on Geek Pals?
Well, I'm involved with this really wonderful guy, in fact we're engaged-
Congradulations Catherine!
Thanks, Randomling, but anyway... we really like each other, we enjoy each other's company and he really is a good match for me, but I kinda feel like an outsider to parts of his life. When he has the guys over for gaming, or talks about this hen-world place, I feel a little lost and I don't want to be constantly asking him for closed captions... or when he makes these references and I KNOW it supposed to be funny, but I don't know what he's talking about...
Hey, its ok, there's nothing to be ashamed of, you just aren't a geek. And you don't have to change who you are to be a little more geek compatible. The Fannish 4 are here to help!
OK, Buttercup is gonna spend some time here at your place looking over your book and video collection and then making some additions that she thinks you'll be able to ease into pretty well. Looks like you already like Lord of the Rings, so we're gonna go from there! We'll watch a couple things with you after the show, but I can tell you Holy Grail is gonna be a breeze, cause you've already heard most of the lines, this'll just put it in context!
Meanwhile, Basalmic Dragon's gonna take you to your first RPG session. Its a short all in one sort of thing, and we'll get you comfortable with the basic mechanics and a play style. Once you're settled in there, Kahuna Burger will introduce you to some of the "fring" elements of fandom that your fiancee might want to, uh, indulge in once in a while. Hey, maybe he isn't the type, but it won't hurt you to know what a furry is if he brings it up, right...?
