20 signs you might be a geek

Kludge spot has a good list started here.
My favorites:

    • You are completely free of tan lines.
    • When someone says 'organized sports' you think 'LAN party'
    • When you must converse with others, you speak a cryptic language of acronyms decipherable only by another geek.
    • You have a gigantic box of spare cables that you never use.
    • You could never be convinced to part with it.
    • You understand why '42' and 'AYBABTU' are funny, and still laugh at both.
Was there ever any doubt? I would like to add my own:
  • You feel compelled to rely back to a friend or co-worker that has just blindly forwarded a chain mail to you.
  • You perform a Snopes test on the chain mail and have concluded that all chains mails received to date are lies or mis-information, no matter how well intended they are.
  • Your Friend or Co-worker has absolutely no idea what they did wrong and just insist they were forwarding an email and stop making a big deal about it.
  • You now feel compelled to perform a Reply All to your friend's upstream and inform them how evil chain mails and the waist of man power and system resources they consume.
  • You have now been removed from your friend's distribution list.

recent chain mail:

  • Gas Boycott day. Sorry, just shifting your gas purchase by one or two days is not going to hurt the big oil companies. You have no idea how in the world you could actually boycott gas.
