What is wrong with wearing a bum-bag?

On my last holiday I had a pair of binoculars in a small leather container with a bit of thick string that closes it when pulled. I took the binoculars out and put a bottle of water in, then attached it to my bum-bag. I put the bum-bag strap though the thick string and BAM, I did not have to carry my water. ~D

Some foreign person called me Indiana Jones. ~D

You have to think in "their" terms. For example, just because I like to get baked and watch the old "Star Trek" series (Shatner always cracks me up) does not mean I like Star Trek. (As a side note, Star Wars scares me when I am high; I don't know why.) But I have a feeling that if you like Floyd/Hendrix/Janis Joplin, consume various drugs (or just grass), and practice the general hippie lyfestyle, you can be considered a hippie. So mellow out.

32.73% geek. I must have gotten knocked down a bunch by not wearing a bum-bag or belonging to a chess club. And who would have thought my scorn for MENSA would come back to bite me so hard?

I think we all deserve a 10% bonus just for being sad enough to take a geek test and then talk about it on a computer game fan website. I mean, if that's not geeky then I'm the king of the aarvarks.

[edit]

And what kind of geek test doesn't ask about your Slashdot habits? Whether or not you can read an IP address? Nary a mention of hexidecimal? I mean, come on ...

I suspect this test assumes that Geeks have to be smart rather than just plain old obsessed, so nay too brite Geeks like me get penalised heavily for not having the patience for Jigsaws, for thinking RAM is a male sheep and knowing they'd only embarass themselves if took a Mensa test....
