Of geeks and milestones...

BuzzLY

Well... another big post count milestone coming up, so I thought I'd create an appropriate icon to mark the occasion.

😃

Happy Milestone to me!

... and in case I end up changing it again down the road... here's the icon I'm using:

...and Microbrain! Growl for me, let me know you still care!

Kaplah!

BuzzLY

Woo Hoo! Made it! Now how many of you geeks out there appreciate this milestone, eh? If not, you don't deserve to be called geek!

Are you talking about 1701?

Well... RFC 1701 describes General Routing Encapsulation... but I don't think thats it.

Geez, and I'd just got my geekiness back by buying Office Space...🙁

And speaking of, happy 3000 piersk 🙂

I have a hatred for trek, but i have to say, TNG was the least retarded :p

BuzzLY

Wasn't there an E, too? At least in the movies...

Moonglobe, I cannot believe you just dissed Star Trek, in a geek forum. I am in shock. Star Wars? Babylon 5? even (gasp) X-files, I could forgive you. But Star Trek??? That's every geek's Mecca! Imposter!!!!!

EEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE!!!!!!!!!

I have to admit, i used to find them interesting. but then i realized... what am i doing.. these shows are so.. i don't know. i've had a thing against SF since then...

Buzz, I'm so glad you're back and as ornery as ever. You've probably seen this but, it is proof positive geeks have way too much time on their hands.

I like X-Files, but none of the others. But you missed the best of all Sci-Fi shows, STARGATE!!!!

Aye, but I was still going with the actual quotes. I know - I should have used it originally, but didn't think of it in time.

Took me years to get what Star Trek was really about. You (at least, I) couldn't tell from the original series.
