Hey all, I told you I’d be back with more things you’ll never catch a geek saying. And I am! Yes, a list such as this is not something you can cover in a single post, even if you do permit yourself 15 examples instead of the usual ten. And so I return for another installment, and be warned, but this one is not likely to be the last. And in honor of this year’s Comic Con, I was sure to throw in some rather specific examples.
One thing though. From here on in I thought I’d stick to top 10 lists. They do seem to be the most effective, and the Nostalgia Critic already claimed the whole “Top 11” thing so I won’t be doing that either. And of course, suggestions are always welcome and are sure to make their way into the next list. Kudos to Jeff Whelan for recommending a Jar Jar comment. You read my mind, brotha!
Okay, here we go! Installment the second on things geeks never say:
10. No self-respecting man reads comic books!
9. NaNoWriMo-whatta? That some kind of Japanese anime?
8. No grown man ever wears a costume to a convention! There might be girls there!
7. Outside of Twilight, I really don’t watch anything involving vampires
6. Thank you, but one Robocop movie was enough for me
5. Of course the government isn’t out to get us. What are you, paranoid?
4. Aliens don’t exist. The Bible would say so if they did.
3. Levar Burton? Wasn’t he that guy who was in Roots, and nothing else?
2. Cesar Romero was the only Joker in MY book!
1. Jar Jar Binks was the best Star Wars character ever!
Am I the only person here with fond memories of Jar Jar, or did you have to be a kid when those films came out to consider liking him?
Yep! All those who grew up with Star Wars hated the bugger, some to the point of homicidal rage.
Jeez, you’re as passionate about this as I’m as passionate about making people jump.
Me? No way. I never liked Jar Jar, but you’ll never catch me saying Lucas raped my childhood or Jar Jar should die. That’s something I leave for the hardest of the hard core fans 🙂
and what is that ninth item? I’ve actually never heard of that (but it’s certainly not an anime, not with that spelling).
NAtional NOvel WRIting MOnth, which is only important if you’re a writer geek. I didn’t know myself till two years ago, at which point it became excuse to finish a story I was already working on.
which month is NaNoWriMo?
I know a lot of people that are not happy that “Robocop” is being remade. I will say they are gradually changing their minds as they announce the cast.
Yes, I was impressed myself. I’m not sure which actor is going to be the villain though. Any ideas?
I would go with Hugh Laurie.
May i suggest another one? Conventions? Aren’t these a doctor thing? Lol…that was fun
