I'm obnoxious and disliked
Only a family as dorky as my own could get as excited about the Restored Director's Cut DVD (with reinserted scenes banned by Richard Nixon!!!) of 1776 as other people get about the Star Wars Special Editions.
Watching 1776 on video is our Fourth of July tradition, but we bought the DVD this weekend and couldn't wait until Friday. I'm sure we'll watch it again then, and that we'll sing along and recite the entire script, just as we did last night.
It may be physically harmful to be as nerdy as we are.

Srah, you should send that in as a suggestion for the geek test. Worth a full 15% by itself if checked.

"Worth a full 15% by itself if checked"- so says the man who *cheated* on the geek test just so he could have a lower score than his wife....

So you claim mrs. jday!! Just because I choose to read the questions literally doesnt mean that I cheat.

Let's ask srah- she's impartial. Let's imagine that someone were to own 3+ computers, but gave one away the *day before* they took the test. Should they then mark the geek question that says "own 3+ computers"? Also, say the computer that they gave away habitually had its cover removed. Should they then mark "own computer with cover commonly removed"? These are two prime examples of someone's manipulating the timeline to get a lower score.... not to mention any names (MATTHEW). To quote Umbradge, "Heh em".

yeah, Umbridge.

Is 1776 the one with Gerard Depardnose (as Robin calls him)? We watched that in 8th grade for a whole day.
I'd love to be all high and mighty and say that I'm not nearly such a dork, but I know that someone out there with video footage of me being dorky would just come out of the woodwork and prove me a hypocrite...
