Washing my memes

Shower-meme answers for hotokegi...


1) What is the most recent victimless prank you've pulled and how much did you enjoy it?
The prank level has been fairly low lately... We did do some good work in May at the Hedonism Flaunt. Some of that involved random gifting (accosting people and giving something odd or unexpected to them) which is a favorite (we handed out flowers and chocolates to bewildered shoppers), and some public prayer for the drivers of aggressive-looking right-wing bestickered SUVs that they might somehow lighten up a bit. All of that was great fun. The point of the victimless prank is to do something that is simultaneously confusing and positive, and it's an art I'm still working on mastering.

2) On a scale of 1-15, how geeky are you and how geeky will your lifemate/significant other need to be to cope?
If 1 is the captain of the high school football team and 15 is the captain of the high school chess team, I'm about a 10. I'm much geekier than the average bear, to the point where I have a hard time finding anything to talk about with my co-workers, but on the other side of the equation, I'm not nearly fascinated enough with computers to be able to keep up with the really geeky crowd. I'm less of a geek than diermuid, but then, everybody is :).
As to how geeky a significant other would have to be, I'm not sure - they'd have to be geeky enough to fit in at DragonCon (if that's not an oxymoron), but not so geeky that, say, they neglected to bathe regularly.

3) What do you find is your most creative outlet amongst all your hobbies and pursuits and is it supremely enjoyable? Why or why not?
At the moment, I'm most enjoying DMing and Discordianism. Both of these things give me permission to twist expectations, to create realms of possibility - both things are very liberating. Also, I seem to enjoy looking like a fool, and both give me an opportunity to do that pretty regularly.

4) Who is sexier, Chewbacca or The Beast? And what kind of shampoo would you recommend for your chosen furry friend?
Either way I answer this, I'm gonna sound like a furry, which I'm really not... But I'm gonna have to say the Beast - really it's all about vocabulary. :) And I prefer Pantene for my own limited coat, so I'd have to recommend that.

5) If there is no spoon, then where did it go?
Choose one or more:
(The Reassuring Psychiatrist Answer) There never was any spoon - perhaps you just imagined the whole thing. Here, take two of these.
(The Kleptomaniac Answer) *turns out pockets* Oh, silly me, there it is...
(The Fight Club Answer) So you buy the right silverware - tea spoons, serving spoons, tablespoons, this is how you fill up your life. And then, one day, your condo blows up and you've got nothing. And you're sitting here thinking it's the best thing that ever happened to you. Or I could be wrong, it could be a terrible fucking tragedy.
(Administrative Assistant Answer) There's a whole box of them in the supply room on the third shelf, behind the white-out...did you *look* in the supply room?
(The Gnomish Inventor Answer) I needed it to help attach the lens array to the back of the sheep... No, you can't have it back, it's soldered to the capacitor!
(The Enraged Sidekick Answer) I told him... "Not in the face!" I said. But did he listen? Nooooo. You want the spoon, you can pull it out of his big blue...ngh!

All bow down to the lord great grand poobah of geekdom! ::grin::

One day I was sitting in a meeting with the customers when they decided a nice icebreaker would be to analyze whether us software guys were nerds or geeks. For some reason hygiene seems to come into play here, but I have a different term for the unclean - dirty.

So how did I answer? "A geek is someone like me who revels in being absorbed in something technical, or something very deep. Thus one can even be an art geek or music geek without even knowing math. Now the nerd definition tends to change over time, but at present it can be loosly defined as someone who has general geeky habits, but does not revel in their intelligence and might even be in denial about it." The irony was, I was talking to accountants who were under the impression that they weren't in the least bit nerdy.

Me me me! :)

Victimless pranks are good. The looks of startlement are amusing...

Pantene is good. Very useful for the hair. I use way to much of the conditioner.

'Scuse me but there is nothing in geeks that talks about hygiene. I don't bathe regularly but I shower often...
