I'm embarrassed that I had the same reaction as one of the commenters..."Dude, I was with ya until you claimed that wasn't an X-wing. EVERYONE knows they fly with the spoilers in one position, then open up and lock in attack positions." I mean really, if you don't know that, you certainly can't know all the ins and outs of the *real* conspiracy. Shameful.

(I giggled a lot at the "dedication" at the beginning to Manny Boffins. Though it should probably be more like "Manny Bothinz" or something. Clearly he's not geeky enough to be captain of the conspiracy ship.)

Would you believe my husband calls me a nerd at least once a week? *blush*

*laugh* I thought the same thing about the X-Wings.

That's okay, I went to great pains to explain to my two little nephews and niece last week what the difference is between a geek and a nerd. It started out with us discussing the Transformers movie, which I'd seen the night before.

Elder Nephew: "Will you take us to go see it?!?"

Me: "No, you need to have your folks take you."

Elder Nephew: "Why not?"

Me: "Because it wasn't good enough for me to spend money on again, that's why..."

Niece: "What were you doing at a *KID'S* movie?? You're an *ADULT*!"

Me: "Hon, I watched the original cartoon when it aired on TV 20 years ago, I went and saw the *first* Transformers movie in the theatre, and I *still* have a bunch of the toys."

Niece: "You're starting to creep me out..."

Me: "I'm not creepy, I'm a geek."

Elder Nephew: "You mean a nerd."

Me: "Naw, I'm a big ol' geek."

Elder Nephew: "Same thing."

Me: "Nope. A geek is a nerd with social skills."

Elder Nephew: (grinning from ear to ear) "What social skills?"

Wrestling ensued. :)
