WIL WHEATON dot NET: 1.5

And now... Spinal Tarp!!!!

I am number 8!

But I think this applies to me more...

How about post-breakup lines from geeks? When my girlfriend broke up with me in university (taking comp. & info sci.) I told my classmates that I felt like a core. Most understood what I meant.

That is too good...thanks!!! Me and my geek really get along ... simply cause we understand!!!

Now that is pretty funny actually... Could almost have had a "Dispel Evil" spell in there somewhere for the RPG geek in all of us :P

the wife gave me This Is Spinal Tap for christmas. the extra scenes that didn't make it to the movie have some good funny stuff.

whatever happened to "I think I'd rather view a comet that shows more tail?"

My favorite is "All your emotional baggage are not belong to us", but that wasn't on the list. :(

I enjoyed "So long, and thanks for all the fish" The Hitchhikers Guide has an answer for everything.

yeah, PhoenixDown... "42"!

LOVE Douglas Adams' FIVE book Trilogy!

For xmas I got "The Ultimate Hitchhiker's Guide" with all five books and a short story, and got a SIXTH book, "Salmon of Doubt" compiled from unfinished work pulled from four of his computers posthumously.

Don't forget Towel Day on May 25th...

The list is friggin' hilarious. I IMed my hubby at work to share the link, and we're still laughing about it. He didn't get #1, though, and had to ask. When I explained, he asked me, "How do you know about that?" I explained, "My sister was obsessed with Douglas Adams in high school....and Wil Wheaton." Hubby's reply? "Your sister's a damned weirdo." Hahaha.

12) Greedo shot first you stupid @#*$#!.

The best I've ever heard was from a friend of mine.. not necessarily a breakup line, but a great excuse for blowing off whatever it is they want you to do... "I love you, honey, but, I also love Star Trek.. and, in all fairness, Star Trek came first."

One of the worse break lines was what my friend Alice told me what her boy friend told her.

"I'm sorry, but every time you make that Beaver face, I don't know if I should give you a branch, or shoot you!"

13) Greedo DID NOT shoot first dammit!

umm...what does it mean if I've actually used "So long and thanks for all the fish?"

I, too, just used the "So long, and thanks for all the fish" line this weekend with a co-worker of mine. Assumed that as a fellow artsy-fartsy, Bjork-lovin', South-Park-quotin' geek he would get it but all I got was a blank stare and the chance to introduce someone new to the strange world of Douglas Adams. (Thanks to "edwoodca" for the heads-up on new book! Had no idea!)

That made me cry a little... Poor geeks. ;)

i love it. story of my marriage in a beautiful little geeky nutshell.

My sides ache from laughing.

Yer most welcome, Jennifer!

and Towel Day, Ms. Emmapeel007... please do tell me more of how I can partake in celebrating that day! Do I simple wear a towel of any size in public and try to avoid being arrested for exposure? Or do I carry around a funky towel with nutrients soaked into one corner???

As you get older you have less time to waste so you retry less and abort earlier.
