| Are You As Sad And Geeky As Me? |
A quick survey to see if you are as sad a Geek as I am/have been. Give yourself zero points for every [A] answer, one for every [B] answer, two for every [C], and three for every [D].
1. When someone mentions the "fight music" from "Amok Time" you:
[A] Stare blankly at them as though they were speaking another language.
[B] You recognize "Amok Time" as being a Star Trek reference
[C] Like [B], but you know the music
[D] Like [C], but you have the music as the ring tone on your cell right now.
2. When someone asks "Mary-Anne or Ginger?" you:
[A] You wonder whether Mary-Anne is a spice.
[B] You recognize the reference to Gilligan's Island, but have no opinion
[C] Like [B] except you say, "Ginger!"
[D] Like [B] except you say, "Mary-Anne!"
3. Do you know how to "Safety Dance"?
[A] Like with work boots and a hard hat?
[B] I remember the tune, but that's it...
[C] Yeah, I can still do the weird, epileptic hand gestures to this day.
[D] Like [C], only I can do it to Weird Al's "Brady Bunch" and sing along.
4. I used to play a CN FTR-MU-TF:
[A] Is that some kind of musical instrument?
[B] Is that one of those role playing games?
[C] I played Dungeon's and Dragons too, back in the day...
[D] multiclass? Pfffft. Dual class first baby... Ranger to 10th, (for the HP) then Thief till like 16, (you want the quad back-stab; Magic-User till 18 (now that you have the HP), then settle down as a bard for even more HP.
5. 10 OPEN 2,1,0,"D"
[A] Is some cryptic thing I don't understand.
[B] Looks to be a computer instruction.
[C] That's Commodore Basic!
[D] ahhh, sweet memories. That OPENs the commodore 64's cassette drive for reading.
6. "You are in a maze of twisty little passages, all alike"
[A] these words mean nothing to me. Is that a poem or something?
[B] hmmmm. I think I played a text game once....
[C] Zork - "Colossal Cave Adventure"... I remember it well.
[D] I typed in "Xyzzy" to teleport out of them.

[A] approximately 3
[B] approximately 3.14

[D] approximately 3.243F (Hexadecimal)
8. True or False: I have used a wire to ground out a pay phone to make a free call
[A] I never ever heard of that.
[B] I didn't think that would work.
[C] I tried it, but never got it to work.
[C] Yeah, and I gave all my friends free phone calls too. Wretch that I was...
9. My favorite subject in High School was:
[A] Drama!
[B] English!
[C] Math!
[D] Physics!
10. Final year of Chemistry in High school:
[A] I didn't take Chemistry.
[B] I failed.
[C] I passed.
[D] I didn't do a stitch of work for the whole year, read the text book cover to cover the night before the exam, walked into exam room the next day and -aced- the exam to get an overall "50" in the course - passing with a "D", and felt quite smug about it afterward.
Now, if you scored 27 or higher, I would say you are pretty sad and geeky. If you scored between 20 and 26, you are probably still sad and geeky, just not as much. If you scored between 10 and 20, you're a little geeky, but really, not impressively so. If you scored less than ten, you probably were dating in high school, and if less than five, you were probably happy too.Labels: silly. |
