That`s changing everything! I excuse for saying that you won`t get any women!!!

Well Arthur it seems that you have started something smiley - smiley I'm sure now that you are reading the names that respond, right? smiley - laugh

So I guess that I'm a geek. Like you said Arthur, it's not a swear. smiley - smiley Anyway I wear glasses and sit in front of a computer, although I no longer live with my parents. I don't drive a Volvo. Instead we have a Honda 650 street and trail motorbike and a BMW motobike.
Does having a page on h2g2 count? smiley - smiley
I personaly think that it's pretty cool to find fellow "geeks" and we should proudly proclaim ourselves! I can't find a smiley that I can use for that smiley - erm
Anway I'm now officially unemployed. smiley - blue

The more the merrier!!!! smiley - biggrin

The account counts of course! But this motorbikes destroy all! It`s definetely too cool! What does "we" mean?

Do you thing that I offended Franacropan? Would you have made the same mistake? After all I`m not an native speaker you know? It´s very difficult to understand all the jokes and of course to make some good ones. smiley - erm

Arthur smiley - cool

No offence what so ever, I am enjoying this thread.
I suppose I should have put my sex on my page but I thought the mention of cross stitch might be a pointer. I am so used to people calling me Fran that I forget it is a "sexless" name.
By the way, any cross stitching guys, keep it up.

Ram0na (seems that I've lost my sock againl)

I don't think you have insulted her. But then again I can't speak for her. smiley - erm
Without a "girl" name like mine smiley - smiley I think that I would have made the same mistake. It happens that most of my geeky friends are male so I understand where the mistake could have happened.
The bikes cancel out geekiness!! smiley - yikes Well I read lots of science fiction and my favourite movies are Blade Runner and Star Wars. Not the re-edited ones though. There I have re-established my belonging to the tribe of Geek smiley - biggrin

Does this mean that you didn't read my intro????? smiley - smiley
The "we" are/is my husband and I. I get to ride (or is it drive) a smaller dirt bike. Well when we get it running smiley - smiley
So far I'm just the passenger. But as soon as I get my license, it's "Ciao, baby" or "eat my dust" or something like that.

I think that you're doing fine. I don't speak German anymore. So I would make the same mistake if this was a German forum.

What about "Eat my shorts" while speeding away ??? smiley - laugh

Fran, WHATZZZ UUUUUP? (Scary Movie)

Well Blade Runner brings you ahead in our little race although I`ve glasses. Star Wars is not my favourite science-fiction movie/show. It`s Star smiley - rocketTrek of course !

Do you know what`s pissing me off most smiley - grr? It`s that I read the Hitchhiker in German, so I don`t know all the cool things smiley - sadface in English like:
- Gods last message to the mankind (Entschuldigen sie die Strapazen)
- Arthurs piece of cloth that he aaaaalways wear (Bademantel)
- The Vogon poetry-stuff (Oh grüner Kittklumpen den ich in meiner Achselhöhle fand...)
So I can just be as half as funny as I`m in German !!! Maybe you can translate.

incidentally, isnt the "Oh grüner Kittklumpen den ich in meiner Achselhöhle fand...)" quote the title of The poet Grunthos the Flatulent of the Azogoth poets, and threfore the second worst poetry in the known universe, as opposed to vogon poetry, which is of course merely the third?
