Come to think it, I was the only captain of the wrestling team to be a deadhead and in music honors.
Call me a nerd and I will supplex you!

hmmm. I don't think I'm particularly geeky. About the only thing that may be off for me is that I have a subscription to the New England Journal of Medicine, which I got so I could do research my first semester, and get to their online databases. Came with the weekly mags too, so that's kinda neat. I do read them too.
Geeky too maybe because I know a lot of computer programs, but really, puter knowledge doesn't seem to be so geeky now, since everyone is doing it. Does having 4 computers make hubby and I geeks? Oh wait, HE is a geek.
And reading isn't geeky. Reading IS fundamental. geesh.
(I do say to the kids "give a hoot, don't polute," so that may be considered geeky. I dunno.)

Hey Monk, you know what me and my basketball teammates called the wrestlers back in HS? Guys not coordinated enough to play basketball.
Just playin...In JH our wrestling coach was our PE teacher, and we did wrestling stuff for a couple of weeks of PE. WOW  ! I never made fun of a wrestler again.

OK, I've held out long enough. What I did today at brunch could be considered nothing but the ultimate in geekiness. The roomie and I were at brunch, and one of the buffet selections was...gulp....frog legs! I had never tried one, mainly because that cartoon with the legless frogs rolling out of the kitchen in wheelchairs always made me feel bad, but today I had to. (It tastes like a combo of chicken and mild fish, btw)
THEN...here's the pitifully geeky part that only a scientist would explain. I cleaned off the bones and was amazed at how small yet detailed they are (we never did the frog skeletal system in high school, only the organs and stuff) and how I never realized that they have three leg bones, unlike our femur and tibia/fibula combo, frogs have one more in between those. This I found when I had to come home and look up a pic of the frog skeleton to see what the middle bone was called (tibiofibula, go figure). The double set that is our tibia/fibula combo is the cutest, tiniest little thing I have ever seen, except for mouse bones. My roomie was looking at me like I was nuts as I was holding it up for him to look at (he was still grossing out over the fact that I actually ATE one) and it immediately dawned on me that yes, I do have to admit that I am a geek.
Somehow, I'm proud of that fact
