    I can't compete. Although I could talk about political jargin, Anime, Asian culture (I'm white) and fight sports.

    When I was 14 I watched every single episode of dragon ball, dragon ballz, and GT and all the movies in about a month and a half.

    That's over 500 epidoes. Top that homeboy. [​IMG]

    i'm not smart enough to be a real nerd but i did read quite a bit from the late 60s through the late 80s. at one time i did have a collection with at least one author for every letter of the alphabet.

    but the way i'm living now, have had to be for the past 15 going on 20 years, i haven't really been able to keep up. so i'm mostly ignorant about anything new.

    the way old folks are supposed to be i guess, but i hate being in this way. people bitch about other people not 'working', having no idea how much they, or at least i, would rather be doing so then living the way i am.

    if there were any way out visible to me i'd take it. without going into a long diatribe about how why there isn't.

    i'm not much on competing either. i see competition as something rome invented to conveince slaves they were free while keeping them slaves which is what capitolism and probably other idiologies as well does today.

    but i am very much interested in what i see as the genre. the real stuff. the written stuff. hall clement and fred pohl and so on. b5 and farscape are probably as close as i've seen anything in popular mainstream media come to it. trek's heart was in the right place mostly, but a victum of an 'all human universe' concept, that may have gotten modified toward the end but still there. and the idea that it would be us to go out there and invent a galactic united nations instead of joining it as the new kids on the block we far more probably are. that part was/is pure silliness of collective ego.

    I could probably out Buffy you... or out "Joss" you in general. I know my StarTreks, but probably not as well as you... although I did once dress up as 7 of 9 for Halloween.

    Don't know exactly what you're looking for here - I've seen every ep of every ST series as well (and all the movies of course), many times. I've also seen every ep of every BSG series... Farscape... ROBOTECH and MACROSS! Star Wars geek of course... The list goes on!

    I addition, I'm a comic/manga head. Animephile. Simpsons geek.

    And to top off the geekiness, I haven't actually watched TV in years. Haven't even owned one. I watch DVDs (commentaries rock!) and download torrents.

    Who ever said you can't have a vagina AND be an uber-geek?
