I think, re my last post, that if I described myself in one word, the word might well be: Dork.

I sometimes forget the basic dorkness of my nature for extended periods of time, but then, oh then, I find myself unreasonably excited about the prospect of gaming two days in a row, or I make bad qabalah jokes in bed ("That's not making it any more likely you'll get laid," quoth triadruid), or I name off all the Transformers toys I had when I was a kid, or other things like that. Then, my innate dorkiness shines like a beacon for all to see.

Ah, well. We all are what we are, and no more, I suppose.

Dorkness is to be cherished!

Revel in your dorkosity!

I may as well, yo, because it's all I've got :)

OK,SO MY PARENTS WOULDN'T BY ME THE TRANSFORMER TOYS, BUT I WATCHED THE SHOW RELIGIOUSLY AND PLAYED WITH THE TOYS WHEN, MY FRIENDS WOULD COME OVER AND PLAY. I DID HOWEVER, HAVE A KILLER COLLECTION OF HOTWHEELS AND A PRETTY COOL TRACK TILL MUCH LATER THAN I WOULD CARE TO ADMITT IN MY LIFE.

SO WE ARE ALL DORKY IN OUR OWN UNIQUE WAY

[triadruid.livejournal.com]

Honey, I would *still* have a Hot Wheels track and/or a model train set if I thought we had the space for it...

[sxypaganmom.livejournal.com]

MY SON HAS A COOL TRACK, BUT IT'S SUCH A PAIN TO PUT TOGETHER IT TAKES ALL OF THE FUN OUT OF IT.

[featherynscale.livejournal.com]

We totally do. In the garage. (Under the dartboard?)

[fionnabhar.livejournal.com]

nodeal57 doesn't have the track anymore. It got old and split. He does, however, have two Hot Wheels carrying cases full of the little cars.

I had two carryin cases. under the guise of having them for my sons. Don't ask who played with them more

Re: undercover dad

[featherynscale.livejournal.com]

I think that's a top reason why a lot of people have kids, the ability to play with the kids' toys. At our house, we just buy the toys for ourselves, and cut out the middleman. :)

Re: undercover dad

[opaljax.livejournal.com]

nope, nope, nope. Absolutely not. I only go to movies adults enjoy. I never use my kids as an excuse to see "kid" movies, and I never play with their toys. (legos!!!) I also never open the boxes that contain their "toys" or whatever just to "see if they work" prior to Yule or their birthdays. And ppppffffttt, I resent the implication!!

Re: undercover dad

[teross50.livejournal.com]

Yep, it is why I love going to Tous r US LOL

[celticwhistlin.livejournal.com]

I too find myself thrust into the light of my *own* dorkiness... My collection was My Little Poines with a few smatterings of Barbie. I *tried* of course to get my mother to let me play with GI Joes and transformers and TMN Turtles but mother wouldn't have any of it. She felt them all to boyish and violent for *her* daughter to play with. So I would go play with the boys next door who had some. Hehehehehehe dorky rebel I am.

[malvito.livejournal.com]

I can relate to dorkiness. I can rattle off the opening credits of The Adventures of Superman and Shazam!, as well as the Gods and Heroes represented in SHAZAM!, and what powers or abilities they gave to Captain Marvel. And that's before you get into Classic Trekkiness ...

In any case, i can't imagine you having a problem getting your ashes hauled. But, in case you mysteriously believe that to be true, know that there are other dorks out there who find you to be a hottie.

[featherynscale.livejournal.com]

I'm not in any way prepared to say that many of my friends are not, also, dorks. I think the thing that bothers me about is that while I have successfully managed to avoid many of the most obvious dork-factors out there in the world (Star Trek being a prime example), I still somehow have managed to be King of the Dorky People. It's in the blood, and it will out.

Also, I don't really have any problems in that area (that's a truly awful phrase, by the way), it's just that I recieved the Official Dorkiness Warning: Caution, Caution, you are getting close to the dork line. Do not cross the dork line, or there will be no sex. I imagine the exact location of that line varies somewhat from person to person, too. I imagine that somewhere in the world, there are magicians who, if I were in bed with them, would appreciate me more for the qabala jokes. I'm just not sleeping with them.

ashes hauled...?

[triadruid.livejournal.com]

Since the frequency of you jumping about gleefully about gaming twice in two days, OR making kabbalah jokes in bed, are both mercifully low, I challenge any claim you have to the Throne of Dorkdom.

After all, you still bathe on a regular basis, DO get laid (either before or after the Hashem joke), on a not-infrequent basis, hold down any job you really care to, and own no box sets of TV-series DVDs, I believe.

Also, she doesn't drink nearly enough Mountain Dew.

Re: What he said.

[featherynscale.livejournal.com]

I hate Mountain Dew. I mean, really, seriously.

Re: ashes hauled...?

[malvito.livejournal.com]

Yeah, "ashes hauled." I prefer that to the F Bomb; it's more polite, and (more to the point) I'm at work.

Re: ashes hauled...?

[triadruid.livejournal.com]

Huh; I'm not sure I've ever heard that phrase before. Thanks for the info!

Re: ashes hauled...?

[malvito.livejournal.com]

The first time I recall hearing it was in Creepshow, spoken by Adreinne Barbeau. I've heard it a couple of times since; it just strikes me as funny. Like the term 'boinking,' which strikes me as the way clowns reproduce.

Re: ashes hauled...?

[celticwhistlin.livejournal.com]

Not supposed to own box sets of TV-series DVDs, huh? OOPS.

Re: ashes hauled...?

[malvito.livejournal.com]

I can relate. I didn't used to, and now I have (Hitchcock Presents Season 1, Kolchak: The Night Stalker, and Adventures of Superman Season 1) with plans to eventually get Star Trek, Babylon 5, and Outer Limits (the original).

Re: ashes hauled...?

[celticwhistlin.livejournal.com]

I will claim the first few season of Buffy with plans for more. I also have plans for B5 and some DS9.

Re: ashes hauled...?

[triadruid.livejournal.com]

Heh, it was more the sum-total of factors, not just TV series season DVDs. We do own a couple of those, in fact (X-Files), but none of them, to my knowledge, "belong" to featherynscale

Re: ashes hauled...?

[featherynscale.livejournal.com]

In fact, none of them belong to me. My DVD collection is pretty spare, compared to you two.

Re: ashes hauled...?

[fionnabhar.livejournal.com]

and own no box sets of TV-series DVDs, I believe.

She just borrows them from other dorks.

Re: ashes hauled...?

[featherynscale.livejournal.com]

Yep. Which reminds me, there are arrangements to be made with orcjohn for the Firefly, I think.

[gamera-spinning.livejournal.com]

And there is the entire "Promethea" comic book series available for your collective reading at youu leisure.

Re: ashes hauled...?

[greektoomey.livejournal.com]

Did someone say Firefly?

Re: ashes hauled...?

[greektoomey.livejournal.com]

I've never heard this expression before today. What does it mean?

Viva La Dorkdom!

I not only had a wide swath of Transformer's toys, I've even researched the voice actors from the show! Lots of people know that Scatman Crothers (the psychic cook who got axed in "The Shining") did the voice of Jazz, but did you know that the person who did the voice of Optimus Prime is also Disney's official "Eeyore"?

[featherynscale.livejournal.com]

I did not know that. And it's pretty funny, really.

[beowulphx.livejournal.com]

"AUTOBOTS! TRANSFORM AND... thanks for noticing me..."

[adammaker.livejournal.com]

I want to hear some bad qabalah jokes!

[featherynscale.livejournal.com]

Hehe. As it happens, immediately following triadruid's statement that the joke was no help to my sex life, he said something like "There probably are people who are prepared to play that game with you, but I'm not one of them. adammaker, maybe." So that's funny.

And I don't remember what it actually was. It had to do with Kether in Malkuth, but I'm not sure why it came up. Sorry... :(

[matchgirl42.livejournal.com]

And here I thought you were a geek!

Hrmph.

Re: dorkishness

[wolfieboy.livejournal.com]

I'm very excited about gaming three nights in a row. :)
Two of them are at my place.

I also love bad qabalah jokes...

I do still have my legos and erector sets...
