		<description>Like a lot of these things, the circles in which people move can be a huge factor.  I happen to mix with people who see the term as, at worst, amusing, and at best, a compliment.  Others&#039; mileages clearly vary.  C&#039;est la vie :&#124;</description>

		<description>As for the word &quot;geek&quot;, I just don&#039;t like labels of any kind. It&#039;s a stereotype, plain and simple. It doesn&#039;t matter of some small subset has co-opted the word.

I enjoy and do many things that might make people think I&#039;m &quot;geeky&quot; at that moment, but I have many other likes and interests that fall far outside the &quot;geek&quot; stereotype. I work out and exercise regularly, and am in pretty good shape. I&#039;ve been known to watch sports. Does that make me a musclehead or a jock? I&#039;m not socially awkward at all, and good at improvisational humor in social situations. So what label does that one get me? Maybe I shouldn&#039;t ask. ;-)

And, honestly, the magazine looks a bit blah to me. Just an honest opinion. X Files? Adam West? Meh... Wheaton seems like a nice guy, but, I dunno. Hellboy 2? Maybe. The first one was OK, and I like Perlman&#039;s work.

Maybe they can do a Star Trek Voyager and Seaquest retrospective next issue. Special guest interview with Veronica Cartwright!

Oh, what the heck. I&#039;ll go get an issue, but I do get most of my news &amp; information online, but there&#039;s always a need for bathroom reading. :-)</description>

		<description>&lt;i&gt;here’s some friendly advice: get over it.&lt;/i&gt;

Man, I thought I was reading my own comment when I saw this, until I realized that when I say it, it contains a word not allowed on this blog.</description>

		<description>@Utakata:

&quot;I would include bad Astonomer as a 4th…but he’s not exactly a cultural phenomenom yet. And there’s no way to fit “A” into skeptic.&quot;


Yeah, I&#039;m going to have to disagree on both counts, just on principle.

		<description>For those of you who have a problem with the word geek, here&#039;s some friendly advice: get over it.

Anyway, I read the article. I fear I come across in it as something of a jerk. I hope that&#039;s just the way it read to me and not for everyone! I remember being pretty fired up that day during the interview, and being excited. Well, time will tell. If anyone reads it, please comment here, and be honest!</description>
