Geekiest thing you have said in public

[The Shade]

This barely counts, but:

I was watching my friend play Fallout 3 (there were a few of us there, he was just killing time) and we were discussing what the Ghouls are. I said they used to be people. Then I added:

"Or, I could go Lord of the Rings on your ass and say: They were once men. Great kings of Men. Then Sauron the Deceiver gave to them nine rings of power. Blinded by their greed, they took them without question, one by one falling into darkness. Now they're slaves to his will."

To which he responded, "Holy shit, dude."

Yeah...I've memorized the LotR scripts. And drop quotes as I see fit all the time.

NERD!

 

[Optimus Hagrid]

My friend is a big GTA IV player and when we were talking as a group of friends, a gta related subject comes up and one of us says, 'What did that happen to you?' and my friend says, 'No IRL dumbass'-referring to GTA as IRL!!

We (me and my friends) once spent our entire chemistry class trying to remember all of the original pokemon names. We did really well, only missed out around 10 or something, so that shows where most of our brainpower is being diverted to.

Also, in addition to when OptimusHagrid was playing pokemon on the bus, he had nicknamed one pokemon "Bill Cosby" and when he started evolving I shouted out: "Bill Cosby is evolving!"

Boy did that sound odd.

This will amuse you then: http://www.sporcle.com/games/pokemon.php

Oh God, that's so piss easy.

Bollocks! You have to TYPE them? Is this 1999?

It wasn't exactly what I said in public that was geeky, but I have this habit of Force-waving automatic doors open, Jedi-style. The geeky aspect comes in when I have to explain to the uninformed just what on Earth I was doing. =P

I said "frack" once during class before the new Battlestar came out and I had to explain myself to everyone except for my geeky history teacher.

This is full of WIN, good sir. =]

Thanks, but I owe it all to my mom who showed me Star Wars, Star Trek (and NG), the original Battlestar and even a few cool video games (Donkey Kong, Astrosmash and Space Invaders not being the least among them).

I totally understand where your coming from w/ all the geekiness in everyday life. And I won't lie and say I do the force-wave all the time, but I've done it on occasion.

 

[Sleepwalker_Serenity]

I talked about the theoretical possibility of the ASHPD actually working with two of my friends at a baseball game. It got pretty intense. Turns out there ended up being a very faint possibility once we denounced a few dimensions existence entirely. Hence theoretical.

I shouted, "Beam me up, Scotty!" the other day in desperation to escape boarding school. To my shock everybody looked at me like I was a Sleestak....To be somewhat kind to myself...Let's just say I am not the most popular.

I say "frack" instead of the naughty f-word. Oh Battle Star Galactica. (jinx)

Yesterday morning when talking about our teachers being hypocrites I responded, "the cake is a lie".

and I say ,"Bubble Shield activated" to people I don't particularly like when they try to talk to me.

I glare at my friends and they say, "God dammit, Now I have to go find my body". I think any WoW reference goes a bit too far.


=/ You be the judge of my geekiest.

 

[xxDarlenexx]

I say many geeky things, but recently people were teasing me being old (even though I was the youngest of the group) and I said, "When 900 years old you reach, look as good you will not."

Blank. Stares.

And this was an older crowd too! The original star wars generation! I was actually pissed!

my nerdiest would probably be frag the camper over there....and we were camping (boy scout camping)too.

 

[GOATOFRAGE]

I can't remember a specific occasion, but I regularly enjoy confusing people trying to sell me technology. Being a bit of a computer buff, it's easy to just speak outside of what they've been trained, then ask if they agree. Silly yet magical PCWorld.

lol know what you mean, you always get looked at like your weird

 

[Dragonblade146]

"Its Sel Monok gajav!!!"
Where is the chocolate in Klingon...
XD

 

[Galletea]

Probably "Did someone just turn on the improbability drive?" When some rather odd revelations were made at home among some decidedly non geeky people. Or any random Star Wars quotes. Occasionally I throw a Shakespeare quote in there but that's not that geeky.

 

[jebussaves88]

In private I've yelled out "1UP!" during intercourse. That was way less entertaining than when it happened.

I can beat that. "Now you're thinking with Portals!" Luckily she was in the process of playing it too.

 

[BlackDodongo]

Me and my friend argued about the Zombie Apocalypse on a bus once. It was a full on row.

This. Every single time. Its like I cant help myself. Its become second nature to me now, I've been doing it for so long.

 

[Wutaiflea]

Although a strong contender for this has to be when I was registering cars for a living and turned around to my office of chav colleagues and said, in full Scottish accent-

"You cannae change the laws of the DVLA"

Which went down like a lead balloon- but the winner of this for me has to be the time my husband and I were shopping in Asda, picking products up in the bread aisle with our backs to each other.

Suddenly we turned and met in the middle, two baguettes crossed in the centre and with a resounding chorus of lightsaber sound effects.

This is how you pick the person you mate with. We had no way of knowing the other would be doing the same thing.

 

[TheMatt]

Debating whether or not Asoka has enough physical strength to use form V lightsabre techniques.

I don't think she does..

 

[StarStruckStrumpets]

I was talking with some friends and said

"Excelsior!"

A group of chavs turned to look at me, and then I just confused them by shouting

"It's not my fault I have devised a way of splitting sub-atomic particles to form a primary fusion derivitive."

They ran off shouting 'nerd'...

 

[UltimatheChosen]

When I told somebody to paint their wooden model car red for a race. They gave me an odd look, and asked "Why?". I returned the same look, and patiently explained "Red 'uns go fasta!".

This won't make any sense to people who don't know much about Warhammer 40k.

Ah, such a beautiful piece of logic :')

And yet so impeccably true. The Orkz is neva wrong.

Which reminds me of another classic Ork line...
"All right, boyz, here's da plan: Win. And if we lose, it's YOUR fault, because you didn't follow da plan."

 

[Biek]

I think ive actually talked about WoW in a pub once. We were comparing talking to women with raiding. Terms like "pulling agro", "tanking", "crowd control" and "wiping" came up as relevant subjects.

 

[S.H.A.R.P.]

"I'm a gamer"

 

[gxs]

"I use multi-billion dollar military satellites to track down Tupperware in the woods.
People who do the same thing know what I'm talking about.

 

[ace_of_something]

When watching a movie especially a fantasy film; I and my colleagues will attempt to figure out what class D&D character the people are based on what they do.
(PS Aragorn is probably a Fighter not a Ranger.)

I do this as well. But it's worse for me: I try to work out what class my friends would be. I do the same thing with alignments as well. Actually, I tend to apply D&D stuff to a lot of aspects of real life.

It worries people.

Off topic, but why do you think Aragorn is a Fighter? He was the character the Ranger class was based on. He doesn't often wear armour, can be stealthy when he needs to, is good with animals, and is a healer. Ok, he is also very good in a fight, but Rangers are still pretty damn good in a fight, if not quite as good as Fighters.

I guess I'm basing it off the movie where he wore plate a couple times and rarely used the bow and always fought with one sword in melee. Maybe a Fighter/Ranger if you're using 3rd Ed.

That shouldn't worry people that you do that though I know at least a dozen indiviuals that do the same thing.

I'm a Paladin usually depending on who you ask.
