Freaking the mundanes, geek style

[hel_ana]

I'm in the office this morning. It's a 5 story building. I get on the elevator, and a nicely put together woman gets on after me, and then a guy with a two headed light saber follows her. He hits 3, she hits 4, I hit 5.

We get to 3, the guy gets out, the door closes, and she turns to me with a little non-plussed face and says "lightsaber, i guess?"

To which I replied "Yep. Specifically, Darth Maul's saber"

The look on her face was priceless.

I was kind.. I didn't say "Actually, I'm normal too. You're just boring."

you are young yet. you will learn.

is it not written, "the Geeks shall inherit the earth"??

really, now. you'll be amazed at how liberating it will feel when we strip away those final filters... kinda like being in a crowded mall, and knowing with that smug grin that you're not wearing any underwear.

I always wear underwear when I go to the mall.

Am I going to be part of the underclass in your smug, geeky, breezy Utopia?
