Do you pack it in an air-tight container?  ;)   ;D

David, we all KNOW you're a geek!  ;)

I keep a programming reference book in the bathroom for a little light reading while I'm...busy. Nim frequently calls me "Scotty" because of my love for tech manuals...

Often times when someone says to me, "I'll be bach" (as in the Arnold in Terminator) I respond with, "Ok, then I'll be Beethoven."  It generally gets groans in response.  =)

Signs that I was a Geek, way back in the early 1980's ---

A friend was riding in the car with me when I turned onto the street where I lived.  They saw the sign that the city had placed near the intersection, and said, "It's really sad that you live on a street with No Outlet..."  (it was a cul-de-sac   ;D )

I think I qualify as an early music geek. I lip syncs to madrigals...

So many things I could put here...:)

When you see an announcement of the new character being added to The Hobbit (Tauriel), and it has a quote from Peter Jackson saying "her name means "daughter of Mirkwood" and the first thing that runs through your mind is, "No it doesn't!  It means 'daughter of the forest'." And you're right.

Or, when you tell the cashier that you like his belt buckle, and he asks "do you actually know what it is?" and the response is "yes, but since your shirt was covering part of it, it took me a moment to figure out if it was the Hyrule crest or the Imperial Aquila."

Yeah, I think I'm a geek.

;D
