ZOMG, Skippy is one of us

Skippy. You remember Skippy - he's the originator of the list of things that Skippy is not allowed to do any more in the army. Well, he's got a blog (who doesn't?) called "213 Things" after the original "213 Things Skippy is No Longer Allowed To Do In The US Army". The blog is at http://skippyslist.com/

In the current entry, http://skippyslist.com/2007/09/07/dare-to-keep-kids-of-fanfic/ he lists his geek cred:

I make video games for a living. I design board games for fun. I read comic books. I have memorized most of the works of Monty Python. I have a few dozen characters on Warcraft. I regularly watch repeats of shows and movies that contain the word “Star”. I listen to Jonathan Coulton, the Aquabats, and Nerf Herder. [...] I play a game, called “Warhammer” which essentially consists of adults playing with plastic army men. I have worked in technical theater. I wear glasses. I have worked at an Anime convention. I once guilt tripped a stripper into dancing to the “Underdog” theme. I worked in PSYOP. I own a copy of the Star Wars Christmas special. I have gone to Ren Faires, and even engaged in mock medieval warfare using foam rubber weapons.

So totally One Of Us.

Assuming you couldn't tell he was "one of us" just from the stuff on the list....

Nothing on that list would have told me he owned a copy of the Star Wars Christmas Special or played Warhammer. There's geek and there's GEEK, no?
