You Know You're a Geek when...

Postby Wedgie » Sat Aug 04, 2007 8:37 am

You wake up this morning and a slight tinge of panic hits you when you see the Advertiser's Front Page headline "Virus Hits" and you breathe a sigh of relief when you realise its a Gastro bug and not a computer virus. :oops: :oops:

Lets just hope the government doesn't turn it into a complete clusterf**k like they did last time.

I thought the thread said [i]Greek[i] as well...praying that if Wedgie was making a shocking confession it wouldn't have pictures to accompany it :shock: :lol:

I gathered it had been a bit of a fiasco last time. Perhaps there'll be a practice effect.

Except if you come from the Greek section of Macedonia, then you know Greece is Macedonian, not the other way around. Philip and Alexander were not Greek no matter what Greeks claim!

This was told to me as the only known example of Albanian humour:
"Why do Yugoslav men wear moustaches?"
"So they look like their mothers!"
