Torture King is more of a refined geek, 'the Enigma,' is actually closer to a true 'geek.' ('Wrenfield' from the old monster movies? an archetype geek.) <BR/><BR/>--This is not to be mistaken for such things as the Indian fakhir's and other religious rites done, (though the performance art aspect takes their origional qeues from them...<BR/><BR/>----Strangely enough, with the exception of such folks as 'the Jim Rose Circus,' and such, ---<BR/><BR/>'geeking,' has gone back into the quasi-religious realm in the form of urban primitive and 'alt,' religious worship, (full body suspensions, extreme piercings, etc...) -and simultaniously re-identified itself as mainstream, no longer for entertainment, and now (somewhat accepted,) practice. <BR/>-eyebrow, cheek, lip, (and other areas,) as well as ear cartiledge piercings all, for a while were considered as 'geeking.' <BR/><BR/>-So, the origins ('he's a Math Geek,') actually was meant to be a bit more ghoulish and that the person was self-inflictive with their knowledge of the subject and (barbaric or lack,) of social skills. (there are shades of 'one who eats bugs, smaller critters, and even cannibalism to the definition.) <BR/> <BR/>'Nerd,' <BR/>(in the truest sense,) is much more unassuming and not at all vile.<BR/>(Actually, nerds are considered as intelligent sissies and somewhat effeminate, potentially defenseless and vulnerable (the thick glasses with the band-aid thing,) and 'easy prey,' in 'bullying circles.'<BR/><BR/>Dork? <BR/>a the clumsey version of another word, you just substitute the 'or' with an 'ic.'

This is just to say that none of those qualities stand out so much as to define you. Sure, you enjoy an episode of Star Trek now and again, and yeah, you kinda enjoyed a few classes back in the day. And, once in a while, you stumble while walking down the street even though there was nothing there to cause you to trip. But, for the most part, you look and act fairly typically, and aren't much of an outcast. <BR/><BR/>I'd say there's a fair chance someone asked you to take this test. In any event, fairly normal. <BR/><BR/>I'm JOE NORMAL..whoo hoo!<BR/>tcAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-17765202.post-12124428828691175062007-03-14T06:51:00.000-04:002007-03-14T06:51:00.000-04:00Wow.
