GEEK:-

The definition of geek has changed considerably over time, and there is no longer a definitive meaning. The terms nerd, dweeb and dork have similar meanings as geek, but many choose to identify different connotations amongst these terms, although the differences are disputed. In a 2007 interview on The Colbert Report, Richard Clarke said the difference between nerds and geeks is "geeks get it done".[3] Julie Smith defined a geek as "a bright young man turned inward, poorly socialized, who felt so little kinship with his own planet that he routinely traveled to the ones invented by his favorite authors, who thought of that secret, dreamy place his computer took him to as cyberspace—somewhere exciting, a place more real than his own life, a land he could conquer, not a drab teenager's room in his parents' house".[4]

Other definitions include:

A derogatory reference to a person obsessed with intellectual pursuits for their own sake, who is also deficient in most other human attributes so as to impair the person's operation within society.
A person who is interested in technology, especially computing and new media. Geeks are adept with computers, and treat the term hacker as a term of respect, but not all are hackers themselves.
A person who relates academic subjects to the real world outside of academic studies; for example, using multivariate calculus to determine how they should correctly optimize the dimensions of a pan to bake a cake.
A person who has chosen concentration rather than conformity; one who passionately pursues skill (especially technical skill) and imagination, not mainstream social acceptance.
A person with a devotion to something in a way that places him or her outside the mainstream. This could be due to the intensity, depth, or subject of their interest. This definition is very broad but because many of these interests have mainstream endorsement and acceptance, the inclusion of some genres as "geeky" is heavily debated. Persons have been labeled as or chosen to identify as physics geeks, mathematics geeks, engineering geeks, sci-fi geeks, computer geeks, various science geeks, movie and film geeks (cinephile), comic book geeks, theatre geeks, history geeks, music geeks, art geeks, philosophy geeks, literature geeks, historical reenactment geeks and roleplay geeks.

This forum seems to be running out of legs since sharkbite, bbw, and the other cyber tough guys have run out of tough guy things to tell the greater community....dam shame!
 
Re: Geelong Cricket '08/'09(gca/bpca)

Maybe the sponsorship arrangement between the GCA & Platypus is a lot better than what could have been sort with Kookaburra?
I was at the GCA meeting when the Management Committee actually spoke about the ball sponsorship and they asked for feedback on the Platypus balls and if the clubs were happy to contionue with the partnership. There were about 100 people in the room and not one person spoke up top say anything against the Playtpus balls or the arrangament so in the GCA's defence, they assumed that all was ok to proceed.

Jarvis staying at City and will NOT leave.
Skeney wanted the chance to coach a side and City didn't give him that chance. There was an opening at Waurn Ponds, so he took it. He has done wonders for the club. Porty just followed a good mate.
Al I can say is good luck to the guy. He has no support from the council or the Uni.

Just another 'wonderful' decision made by a bunch of blokes who don't even play the current game. Until the old-school committee members leave the GCA, our comp will never get any better and never move forward.

Doing the rounds this morning.. checking out some pre season training down at gravel pits.. and furner avenue

From wat i seen..
Bell Post Hill at furner ave... Brad Stacey was there.. didnt train
North Geelong at furner.. Looked really young.. Colin Millard and Ross Aylmer were the only 2 there over 25
North Shore at furner.. Looked rather scratchy... Opposite of North Geelong.. Most blokes over the age of 30
NDCC at gravel pits.. not too many recognisable blokes.. alot of scratchy batsman
Thomson (i think) at gravel pits.. started as i was leaving.. didnt see smelly but had good numbers there

Thats because they train at Belmont activity centre thursday nights!

Click to expand...

A perception of inconsistency, [usually but not always humorous], in which an apparently straightforward statement or event is undermined by its context so as to give it a very different significance.


Your statement was ironic because it's content was skewed by the fact that you take so much offence at other people's conversations, which have little to nothing to do with you, and therefore are the one who needs a life.

I heard from a "reliable" source this morning that someone from City discovered who Sharkbite is, told the rest of the club, and Sharkbite has now gone into hiding (with his computer) and does not dare show his face, and therefore will not be playing this year :D
