His car is the envy of ricer "Civic-boiz" everywhere, because his lug nuts require more torque than their cars make and finishes the 1/4 before they even hit 60mph. He can jump 30 feet into the air, run 95mph, and has been known to kill full-grown grizzly bears with a single punch.

The third (and best) of the geeks gets paid way too many of your tax dollars to read geek #1′s website. His car is the envy of ricer “Civic-boiz” everywhere, because his lug nuts require more torque than their cars make and finishes the 1/4 before they even hit 60mph. He can jump 30 feet into the air, run 95mph, and has been known to kill full-grown grizzly bears with a single punch.

There is an emerging kind of geek. I know two good examples off the top of my head. The first one I know is Systems Analyst at a major corporation. In his spare time he drives a fairly fast American sports car and is the webmaster of a hip blog-style website. He knows how to wine and dine a lady and is capable of good conversation. He dresses well and has true Southern charm. The second works in a GeoSpatial Technology and Information Management unit. When not using Windows, Linux, or Unix at work, he enjoys working on his Macintosh at home. He enjoys bike riding and digital photography when he is able to leave the indoors. He drives a turbo-charged European car and eats organic and fair trade foods when possible. He dresses well and is able to joke and goof off or carry on deep discussions of post-modernism and social theory. The second geek has already been claimed, but the first is on par with the second and is still available. Only women of true virtue and character need apply. Also, note that there are changes in the traditional order of geeks.

The key is the 9 out of 10 clause. Ladies, do choose a nerd or geek. But be discriminating about it. Make sure that the geek practices good hygiene. Eating pizza and drinking the Dew and falling asleep on a keyboard aren’t always the most healthy or sanitary things to do. Also note that there is tech savvy and tech addict. Make sure that he isn’t going to choose a video game or a virtual woman on some shady website over you. I must say that there are a lot of valid points on this posting.
