To know it all

Wednesday, January 30th, 2008

I'm usually quite a geek, but please forgive me for being a bit of a nerd for a moment. I'll try not to use the word "actually" too much. As in, "actually, not many people know this, but there is a distinct difference between geeks and nerds." (nerds love the word "actually").

Nerds, you see, are really super knowledgeable about stamps and will, given the chance, tell you everything that is currently known about them. Geeks, on the other hand, are really super knowledgeable about stamps so, given the chance, they are spending time with their stamps–not you.

So while you're out shoveling your walks, the nerd is there beside your driveway elucidating the differences in how dwarfs and hobbits handle inclement weather conditions. But where is the geek? Well, he's the one off in his basement gluing hair to his feet.
