Geek Throwdown

As an undergraduate I was standing in the office of the molecular biology department of my university when my phone rang. The ringtone was the Star Wars theme.

Someone behind me commented, "It's okay, we're all geeks here."

I turned around and said, "Yes, but you know what's really geeky is that I programmed this in myself."

Chubster Geek opened up his binder and showed me one of the pages. It was a scoresheet for Dungeons and Dragons.

I countered, "I hang out with people who dress like they're from D&D."

He said, "LARP?"

I said, "No, SCA."

In the end I think he won. He owned a t-shirt that said "Girls are no substitute for playstation."
