Author Topic: Moderator Rudeness? Rachel Craven Madam Moderator Posts: 2190 From: Pensacola, FL Registered: Dec 2000 posted 12-05-2003 01:50 AM                     quote: I have never meet any of them so if I were to say that they are power hungry geeks, it would be pure speculation. geek v 1. to display an embarrassing amount of happiness. ("She geeked when he asked her out.") Yes I am happy. Now, if you called me a nerd, loser, dweeb, goof, dork, or anything of the like - I would agree!  |  IP: Logged William Hooper Phenomenal Film Handler Posts: 1879 From: Mobile, AL USA Registered: Jun 99 posted 12-05-2003 02:08 AM                        It's a carnival term, invented for a person who does a specific carnival act. American Heritage Dictionary has the standard meaning, & origin of the word: quote: NOUN: Slang 1a. A person regarded as foolish, inept, or clumsy. b. A person who is single-minded or accomplished in scientific or technical pursuits but is felt to be socially inept. 2. A carnival performer whose show consists of bizarre acts, such as biting the head off a live chicken. A geek is a person who makes money with a carnival act by exhibiting himself to folks who will pay money to see who would stand there & bite the head off a live chicken in front of a crowd. They're at the bottom of the carnival social & professional hierarchy. "Geeking" is their professional job description. It's distasteful, but worth a dollar to see!  |  IP: Logged Erick Akers Arse Kicker Posts: 201 From: Dallas, TX, USA Registered: May 2001 posted 12-05-2003 07:39 AM                     Well, If being a geek is what it takes to be a moderator, Please allow me to join the elite as the newest moderator.

Like Meatloaf sez, "Two out of Three Aint Bad" "All Praise Be To The Film Gods For Witch My Knowledge Grows Stronger Day by Day!!!" BTW, Where's Randy Stankey?

Hmmmmm, He started this in the first place, and has yet to respond again. Because I talked about this with Brad via e-mail. I made my point. He made his point. We understood each other. We didn't have anything more to say... So, we didn't say anything more. OK?  |  IP: Logged Erick Akers Arse Kicker Posts: 201 From: Dallas, TX, USA Registered: May 2001 posted 12-06-2003 08:39 AM                     ok Randy, understood Nudge, Nudge, Wink! Wink!
