Geeks are Mean!

I'll admit it: I tried to use torrents. And it didn't work out.

I'm a little bit of an anglophile, which is a little bit of an understatement. So I was looking around the interwebs to watch The Thick of It, the really funny show that spawned In The Loop. Over on this side of the Atlantic, it's damn near impossible to find, so I went looking around and found the first DVD online. After watching it, I was banned from the site. Why? Because nerds want a better description of the file they're getting, and mine wasn't detailed enough.

Ugh! How rude are these dorks?!

Live Long and Prank

I didn't mention this before, but I got a text last night from Anne that tickled my inner nerd's humerus.

"So some guy just called my work asking for James Kirk and a weird kid with straight dark hair and pointy eyebrows. I was the only one who realized that we were being prank called to look for Spock and Kirk from Star Trek."

Not to be a geek, but for someone to not recognize Spock or Kirk is pretty damn illogical. And not just because I'm a nerd who saw the movie(s, if you include Galaxy Quest). I'm saying this because they're kind of pop culture icons of geek idolarity.

And because the movie was a blockbuster, and anyone who reads a magazine or watches TV has probably seen the commercials for it.
