Well, I sometimes show up for work, (parties and such) volunteer and for money, in stormtrooper armor. If that makes me a geek, I am proud to be one!! I will tell you this though. When I make a kids day by showing up at his/her b-day party I hardly feel like a geek. In fact, I feel pretty cool!! It used to bother me that more than casual fans were lumped into the "geek" category but I think jealousy and envy plays a big part in that. We have something the bashers don't understand and if that makes us geeks, so be it.
