[Pendragon]

Pen, are you sure that's not a cold chicken?

(no cigarette since last Sunday...and I really haven't wanted one either. It kinda scares me. I keep waiting for the craving to kick in.)Good luck with the quitting, anyone who telling you it is easy hasn't smoked very long. Mu pipes are just show, never been lit. Sherlock Holmes and Gandalf and others.

This is Turkey farming country, at least to the North of us. Domestic Turkeys for your table are usually white birds. This helps the farmer, since during Turkey season, many a fine gobbler has been shot out of someone's barnyard if they are colored like wild turkeys.

In fact, my wife's great aunt, rest her soul, once crossed a Charlot Bull with Angus Cattle. The calves were born deer-colored. She had several shot that deer season.

You know you're a big dork when you fire and kill a deer and the first thing people here you yell is "Well whatdaya know? It's a buck!" (I should explain that here we are limited to bucks with visible antlers, and this guy was hunting about 500 yards from me. No way he even checked. He did put four .270 shells in the neck that I could have covered with the ace of spades.)

[motherhubbard]

Pen, I was a turkey farmer for a while. Granny has been out in those turkey barns and should know what a white turkey looks like in every stage of life and death!

The little grey guys asked for help with their saucer, and you couldn't help but "pimp their ride".

One of the grey dudes is now a brother-in-law.

You know you're a big dork when you read the above and it reminds you of a story about lawyers. Temple Huston, old Sam's son, was an old West lawyer who wore a rattlesnake skin for a tie. He was once propped up comfortable in a Salon, near the stove, writing out papers and drinking during a storm. A guy came in with his duster packed with ice, and slightly blue. "You look like you been through hell." Observed Huston dryly. The other nodded coldly. "I have." "How was it?" Temple grinned up at him. "About like here. Lawyers all hogging the fire!"

You're a really big dork when you see Johnny Depp as Sweeney Todd and you recall reading about the real case in a book. See, I have a more than passing interest in Jack the Ripper, and I read every thing from that era about crime, in an attempt to solve the crime. One book I read went back a ways before the Ripper to a real horror story and a worse serial killer: Sweeney Todd, the Demon Barber of Bleek Street. Oh yeah, Sweeney Todd was real enough, and eventually hanged for his crimes. Enjoy the movie, and afterwards have a nice meat pie...

You're interested in Jack the Ripper? Tell me something. What do you think of Arthur Conan Doyle's conclusion of who the killer may have been?

By the way, I will make to sure to have a nice, big meat pie for you, too! Perhaps with some actual shepherd on top ;) (If anyone knows the musical, they will know what I mean!)

Also, as of today, it is only 7 days until it opens :)

You know what? You're also a really big dork when you get a sneak peek at the opening credits (it is ONLY the OPENING CREDITS!!) and you get chills from the excitement of it! :p I have issues! I know it! :)

You know you're a big dork when you actually think you might solve the Jack the Ripper Case one Day...Lady W., Conan Doyle was after the wrong man I think, in John Maybrick. Patrica Cornwell has only proved that Walter Sickert wrote some of the Ripper Letters, indeed the larger part of them. But that doesn't prove he killed anyone. The letter that was with the part of the kidney wasn't in his handwriting. No blood from anyone was found on his letters, They can take DNA from the licked stamps and compare it with his mother's DNA and see if it matches. He had himself cremated. You have to take into account how many bodies were actually found, dead by knife, even after Mary Kelly, and wonder how many weren't found.

They had just came from the Sweeney Todd horrors Who knows if they ever found all of Todd's victims? Now they must hunt the Ripper's. And in those days, they weren't overly concerned with a dead prostitute, now matter how horrible a death. So they didn't look all that close. Even so, they found a body even in the basement of the police department..

[Zelly]

You know you're a big dork when, as you check your email and see that Pottercast (a Harry Potter Podcast) is going to have J.K.

When you start to babble about Pottercast, (as usual) she simply nods and walks away...

You then continue squeaking... Wow. I'm even dorkier than I thought... >.<

[Lily Adams]

You know you're a big dork when you're told one of the first things you said after your wisdom teeth extraction surgery was

"...DEVO..."

I honestly don't remember that. :lol:

I think, however, I said something like "What happened? Where am I? Ohhhhh...I probably look so stupid." Hahaha. Oh man. That was an experience.

[sprinks]

You actually THINK about what you are saying for once, and yet you still say classics such as:

"I want to take a camp on my camera"
"I don't put cereal on my sugar"
"It's not you dog, its the mood, I mean moon... I mean FOOD!"

Maybe I should still think a little more before I speak :lol:

Me: "Yeah I keep getting told that. I talk fast, but I'm slow in my head."

Took me all of a second to realise what I said. I meant that when I talk I hear it as being slow!! :lol: Oh how we all laughed for a long time after that!! :lol:

[AuntShecky]

Granny, your line about a night on the town is a trip to the Taco Bell drive-thru windown was hilarious! It reminded me of "The Lockhorns" in which Loretta yells at the waiter.

Time Has Come For Revenge of the Nerds.

[Virgil]

I am such a big time dork. Actually a putz, if you know that New York slang. Last month I entertained a meeting with representatives from various places across the country. I wrote up the minutes and collected all the presentations and burned everything onto CDs. I mailed them out to everyone across the country. I pull my CD copy today only to find it's blank. :eek: So I sent out an email to see to everyone I had mailed a CD to if their copy was blank, and to my horror they were all blank. I completely screwed up on burning the CDs. :crash: :crash: How embarressing. :blush: I knew I shouldn't have done it myself. We even have summer interns from college working they could have easily burned CDs correctly. Never, ever let someone over 40 years old do anything like burning a CD again. :crash: :crash: :crash:

[motherhubbard]

that's funny- I'm sure everyone understands. Especially if you tell them that good help is hard to find . I've been trying to burn a CD as well and I can't. My brother's girlfriend was going to do it for me yesterday, but I got DVDs instead of CDs.

[sprinks]

When you wonder why the music has stopped and constantly press and twist the 3 different music volume thingys on the computer and eventually realise you accidently pressed the mute button on the music player.

Wait! Never enough! Everevereverever!

Or when random people in Sci-fi conventions call you Doctor, Master or chief.

Or when most people in your school think you're a criminal mastermind/ are afraid one day you'll show up in a trench coat and kill them all. (actually that's not much of a dork, just a weirdo :lol:)

[LadyW]

When you go to Spain and accidentally say "Merci" to one of the waiters...

Oh! And when you start asking for toppings on someone elses Sub because you weren't paying attention...

I could go on.

[Bakiryu]

when you patiently explain to someone the difference between a hacker and a cracker.

When your dreams are in Binary or HTML.

When one of your celebrity crushes is Kevin Mitnick.

When you would die if separated from your computer for more than two days.

When you can't sleep at night unless you have spent it at your computer.

When you have NASA on speed dial.

[motherhubbard]

You learn the first 50 digits of pi by heart.
Beat that.

(Sometimes I have nerd duels with other people - people take turns to say what nerdy things they have done - the first one who can't name one, loses. I usually win. Once, though, I had a draw- but the person in question was a real computer nerd who went around shouting: "BOOM! Headshot!" occasionally )

You get excited about finding a Beatles mug set and make a second trip to the shops to acquire them on the same day (on the same day because you don't want them to run out of stock... even though the shop had three sets and it was highly unlikely that they would be sold on the very same day... but who would like to take such risks, right?)

*takes a big, satisfying sip from her tea, served in one of her newly acquired the Beatles mugs*
A Beatles tea cup set?? Well, I would've bought one! So there is someone else out there that would've bought a set. :D It is a good thing to make sure you get something just in case there is that other person out there that might want what you want, too. So, yes, I have done the same as you have done. I have learned from my mistakes of not getting something when I first saw it. :( After all, if I wanted to buy that Beatles tea set, there just might be those 3 other people out that day that want to buy one for themselves, too. So I would have to make sure that I got mine before any of them did and before the store sold out! :D Good for you!! :D :D

I am even wondering whether I should get a second set (in case something happens to one of them! :blush:)

[white camellia]

Ahh, cool mugs. I've got my eyes on the last set (suppose you got two and there's still one left, but what if the shop has got more now?). ;- D

You were on a trip. One day before you left the hotel you stayed, you had just locked your luggage and put it in the wardrobe which was apparently unlocked. A friend asked you: have you taken your valuables with you? You replied: no, but have no worries - I've locked them all in my luggage!
