List of basic rights and responsibilities of geeks
Rights:
The right to be even geekier.
The right to not leave your house.
The right to not like football or any other sport.
The right to associate with other nerds.
The right to have few friends (or none at all).
The right to have as many geeky friends as you want.
The right to be out of style.
The right to be overweight and near-sighted.
The right to show off your geekiness.
The right to take over the world.
Responsibilities:
Be a geek, no matter what.
Try to be nerdier than anyone else.
If there is a discussion about something geeky, you must give your opinion.
To save and protect all geeky material.
Do everything you can to show off geeky stuff as a "museum of geekiness."
Don't be a generalized geek. You must specialize in something.
Attend every nerdy movie on opening night and buy every geeky book before anyone else.
Wait in line on every opening night. If you can go in costume or at least with a related T-shirt, all the better.
Don’t waste your time on anything not related to geekdom.
Try to take over the world!

GTFO, this is OUR day!
I'm a Geek and i wear the badge with pride
EDIT: Just Read the Wikipedia page and am delighted to see that it's also Towel day for Douglas Adams fans AND it's fandom day for those who like Terry Pratchett too. That's a triple-header for me. I should leave work immediately and return home to celebrate!
Happy geek day, not to me

An geek is walking down the street, and sees his friend, who is also a geek, walking along with a new bright red motorcycle. He's impressed, especially since his friend doesn't know how to ride a motorcycle, so he goes up and asks, "Wow, where'd you get that?"
The friend explains, "Well, I was walking along, and this gorgeous blond drives up on the motorcycle, stops in front of me, strips her clothes off and tells me, 'Take what you want!'"
The geek nods in understanding. "Good choice. Her clothes probably wouldn't have fit you."

People all over the world, let's have a chat about the wonderful game of football? Or soccer as the Americans call it?
I love it personally (obviously otherwise there would be no point to this thread!)
My home team is Stoke City FC, and yes, I know, we've been getting some real bad press lately ever since the unfortunate leg-break incident (which, I accept it was reckless and a really bad tackle, but absolutely not intentional!!)
Also, who do you think will win the World Cup this summer? I personally cannot wait for it!! Sitting in my garden in the sun, with a nice cold glass of Apple Cider, watching the World Cup on TV!
I'm excited by the world cup as well.....its so open this year as a number of great teams that could win it. Looking forward to sitting in the sun and watching it (on holiday during part of world cup)
Rick
p.s. I support Liverpool....been a bad season, hopefully with a better finish
well i am a barca fan, and play for my college football team.
dont really enjoy watching matches on tv....
i rather prefer to play.......
I'm a Norwich city fan and looking forward to the world cup almost as much as being promoted at the end of the season!

Rather play myself. Played college footie when I was at college and also play for local team (Whiteabbey swifts). My playing days (except 5-a-side) are over unfortunately due to age and family
A proud Galatasaray fan here. Must say that i started to lose faith in it cause of the riggings lately...
I'm not really into football, but still watch the world cup...
...an what's for sure: Germany will win!
I'm an Arsenal fan. Going on current form i'd say this years WC will go to either Brasil or Spain.
im a long standing arsenal fan...GO GUNNERSSSS
world cup is gonna be amazing but i think spain and england will once again underacheive and lose in either the quarters or semis. not sure who i want to win since france (i support them) doesnt look likely to win. I just want a great competition with lots of flair and goals
I am a Liverpool fan, good to see no one is slagging others here.

Yes, I hope this also continues
As for who will win the world cup....personally I think its open this year. A lot of strong teams and some of the bigger names under achieving (Italy, Argentina) in qualifiers.
Best bet would be one of the following........Brazil, Spain, England, Germany
One team which should be there is Ireland........what happened to Ireland was a disgrace IMHO......FIFA should be ashamed as well as France & Thiery Henry
I played football since I was 6 yeras old. Two days ago I returned from hospital after my first knee surgery and now I am waiting for second surgery. :/
Sometimes football can be really painfull.
BTW, lets see how will my home country(Slovakia) struggle on their first world cup.
Football? Never heard of it:

Football in my country is more than a passion it's almost religion. Honduras, is going back to the world cup since 1982!!!!. And do you know with what team we are going to play our first game......SPAIN...OMG...tough team...right. I still play soccer with my friends (I'm 30)...45 minutes the most...since my lungs and my body react like a 90 year old granny

Ah... the day that geeks fear and dread is coming up... so which one of you XDAers have prepared for Valentine's this year?
As for me and mine, we have already exchanged gifts ahead of time (she's going back to China on the 14th)
After six years it's really hard to come up with something nice... -.-

This is our fifth Valentine's Day. This is the second time I hand-made something for her...
That's nice... last year I made a song for her (I'm producing some underground music, btw)

Any spelunking on that night?
Its our 11th anniversary on the 15th so there`s nothing left to get, I`ll have to make a trip to Tesco`s, I really know how to spoil it, I mean her..
As for anything planned, jaysus, I`ll probably end up having a choke with me yolk a few times and then get her to have a go, then sleepy time........looking forward to the 12th!!!!!?????
Just a commercial strategy to take out more money from your pockets...
If you love her/him make Feb. 14 everyday!
Yeah... that's why my gift was hand-made... she got me a (gasp!) Domo-kun. I was wondering WTF? all the way to my office (we met up for lunch today)

Well, I'm actually not that far in the relationship with this girl but if I was I would let her decide what we should do during the day (shopping or whatever she wants to do). At the evening I would prepare a delicious homemade dinner with starter and dessert, give her a massage and probably suffer through a romantic movie (I would concentrate more on the cuddling with her than the story though)
I would probably also give her some jewelry at the dinner if I could afford it but... I'm a student ^^
We don't do Valentine's day.. because we are cheap like that

Flowers, nice dinner, movie, and some random inside joke type presents. Nothing super original, but definitely did the trick
From my estimates, the "geek" subspecies of humanity will be extinct by 2060-ish.
Only 2 are prepared for this event, while the rest are unprepared or even unaware of the existence of said event.
I haz sad...
I procrastinated, didn't get anything, just told her I'd take her to the book store. She was happy. She got me the BBC Planet Earth on blu ray.
I met a girl on the cruise ship I was on for the last 4 months. She's still there... looks like I'm off the hook? lololol
seems like i was the only one voted 'maybe' .
haha i wonder what would happen I still got 35 minz of V's day here.
spent almost half the weekend making some sort of valentine's day videos for youtube and actually 'failed to advertise' it cuz I dont have a girl
anyway Happy Valentine's Day

Well believe it or not, on XDA I am allowed to post in whatever thread I want, and if it means you get butthurt let it be.
Also what is the whole point with hand egg? In the play offs they only play one game with each team. It should be like hockey where you actually need skill and determination, and not just luck, since you have to win at least 4 games with one team before you can go to the next round.

Yep. They have like 8 teams play in the play offs. So there are 4 games first round, then you have 4 teams left, 2 games, and then the super bowl. Maybe you have a bit more teams at the beginning. In hockey you have 7 games between the teams before going to the next round.

All hail the New York Giants!
i say new orleans saints oh wait thats next year
Don't feel like quoting on my phone. Physical...with 20 kilos of protection. Not sure if you ever played rugby. I had a hard time standing straight for 2 days. And hockey is just as if not more physical. Getting slammed by a 200+ pound guy against a wall is worse than the same hit without a wall. Trust me.

Even though I wanted the 49ers to win, I'll take the Giants over the Patriots anyday

How's it going neighbor. It's been a while since I was in Montreal. Probably about 7 years ago. Nice place.
There used to be a street downtown where everyone would go party. I don't know if they still do it or not. 7 years ago it was considered to be one of the biggest party places in the world. I can't remember the name of the street?
I do remember people parking their cars in the middle of the street on Saturday because the street was so crowded with all the party goers that you couldn't drive down it anyway.

He made a point that hockey is clearly a tougher sport too. And it is. Football-play for 10 seconds then stop. Repeat. Hockey-play 3 periods of checking, falling, fights, pucks hittig you, falling on ice (hurts)

so im chillin up here at college, just doin a little general studying and trying to stay on top of my course work and stuff. and the only thing i can think about right now is how good a Stella, carlsberg or a Nordeast would taste right now. anyone else feel the same way?
I feel that way all the time. I think I have a problem.

meh, its only a problem if you drink a case so lets say you have 11 out of a 12 pack...no big deal but yea i usually crave a nice lager at the end of the day, if i ever get around to getting to the liquor store, i usually only have like 2 bottles and im golden; i just love the flavor idk why.
I really like a local lager (Brooklyn Lager), it's not your typical Lager, and has the best mix of hops and other stuff.
could use a beer and a nice blunt or bong rip right now... doing college spanish homework got an oral presentation and i cant speak this language smdh..

This is how it looks like. I was at a party at their brewery like 8 months ago. They had a bunch of bartenders with drinks they invented them selves. Lets just say they all sucked, but then I went to where they had the beer. After having a few small cups, the guy behind the counter started giving me the big cups. lol. Nothing beats drinking in a place like a brewery being under 21 and getting piss drunk all because I was taking photos for a newspaper. lol. I also like Guinness and Sam Adams Octoberfest.

Still got a 1 1/2 years to go before I can legally drink beer. Am I really missing a lot from not drinking one?

Anyways I finally graduated on June, which is crazy since I remember starting XDA when I was a 7th grader in Junior High (I was barely 13, now I'm 18!)
So I'm going to college but I have no Idea what to Major in.
I'm freaking out now LOL.
Like I wanna be a YouTuber and as well as compete in American Ninja Warrior.....but that's until I'm 21....so for now I have no idea what to do with my life other than college lol.
Oh...I got a job last year at Baskin Robbins ! So that's good
Also got my license last year as well!
Well just wanted to stop by and say HI! To my old off topic buds
And to those that remember.....I never got to date Sarah, never had the guts to talk to her again. And it's too late as she has already left to college.
I remember I made useless threads here and they never got closed.
But over these couple of years OT moderators are a bit more uptight lol.
