What has been your geekiest moment?

She patted my hand and said "whatever you say, dear"

My wife seems to do that a lot, is that a bad sign?

What, patting Shadowslayer's hand and calling him "dear"? Yup, that's a very bad sign.

Now if your wife was patting your hand...

I have two actually and they both have to do with speaking a little elvish....

In college I was writing a paper on Tolken and had to give a presentation. I learned a bit of the language by reading the book on the language of the elves by Tolkien and visiting a class at harvard and getting a crash course. When I stood up to give my presentation , I started it off in elvish but I just kept going. It took 5 minutes of the presentation till anyone said anything. Then I started over in English....

I had never played a game until last December. My first con was AnoNY con and I had left my friends and had gone to get a soda. I was walking to the little convience store that they had in the hotel when I hear two men behind me speaking in a forign toungue and almost immediately desipher it as elvish and start to listen in. Turns out they were talking about me in a somewhat flattering light, but they talked about other things. Things that caused me to stop, turn around and say (in elvish) "Sorry gentlemen, but I am not that kind of woman." The color of maroon that their faces went was hillarious. I smiled, and left those boys in the dust. All right before I even played my first game.

I was wandering around the local FLGS and had picked up a copy of one of the Illuminati expansion packs. There was some Warhammer going on in the back of the store, so I decided to wander over and look at the pretty minis.

While I was back there, the store manager came over and said "I'm sorry, but we don't allow merchandise (the expansion pack) in the back of the store."

One of the Warhammer players turns and yells out jokingly "THIEF!"

I turn to him, shrug, and say apologetically, "Yeah...I failed my pick pockets roll."

My nerdiest moment ever is more than 10 years old, at this point. I was driving my sister to school in the middle of winter in South Dakota (it was cold), and she accidently leaned on the automatic window button, causing the passenger side window in the van we were driving to roll down. Rather than just telling her to roll up the window, I said, "Dammit Callee, we're venting atmosphere!"

And that's pretty much the nerdiest thing I've ever unintentionally said.

My wife and I both geek out regularly by saying things like "Ooh honey good spot check!" like whne we're driving and find a good parking spot, stuff like that.

I'm sure there are other moments I just can't think of right now

I have an RPGA membership card in my wallet. That makes every day my geekiest moment.

I have an RPGA membership card in my wallet. That makes every day my geekiest moment.

So do I. It's a Master-Level DM card, and I remember my number by heart.

I also have a D&D bumper sticker in my car. "I Played D&D Before It Was Cool."

My geekiest moment... pretty hard to say. My life has more or less been one continuous string of geekiness. I have an aura of geek around me. I remember when I was volunteering for a certain political event with a bunch of people around my age, and I was almost immediately profiled as a "fantasy nerd", despite dressing normally and not bringing up any geeky subject. I'm not sure how that happened.

I also spend a lot of time thinking about the natural laws of magic in D&D. I may need to write an article on the subject.

I apparently have a lot of geek moments at work, though none of them stand out in my mind. My boss has - several times - looked over at me and has said, "You really are a geek!" The way he says it is like how he'd say, "You really are strong!" if I were to suddenly pick up the desk and hold it over my head with one hand. But I feel like he's saying, "You really do have brown hair!" because I have fully accepted the fact that I am a geek, and, like my hair color, just assume it's something everyone knows about me, not something to be astonished about.

Awayfarer and I often spend time discussing the alignments or ability scores of television characters or each other. We've decided that House is chaotic neutral.

I'm not sure I have one particularly geek moment that stands out, however. It may have been when I bought a binary clock for my desk at work. Or maybe when I wrote up an Excel macro to pull the numbers from a set of online character sheets to put them into a big table for easy comparisons.

I am toasting Diaglo with my freshly opened Mt. Dew. You sir are what I wish to be.
