I got a red leather tie and a pair of rugger pants

List 5 reasons why you are a dork--and make them good reasons. Justify them. Explain them. Be loud and proud about how big of a dork you are! Then pick the 5 biggest dorks you know and have them do the same.

1. I sing harmony along to punk.

2. The biggest thrill of my Sunday was opening the box that contained my new Smyth's Greek Grammar.

3. I was once sitting around on a Friday night with some buddies, and when a dorm riot came up in conversation, I compared it to Kristallnacht.

4. I just Googled "Kristallnacht" so I'd be sure to spell it right.

5. This is my email signature:
"He'd noticed that sex bore some resemblance to cookery: It fascinated people, they sometimes bought books full of complicated recipes and interesting pictures, and sometimes when they were really hungry they created vast banquets in their imagination--but at the end of the day they'd settle quite happily for egg and chips, if it was well done and maybe had a slice of tomato." --Terry Pratchett, "The Fifth Elephant"

"Skepticism about the capacity of the human mind to grasp the structures of nature directly led to growing doubt about the possibility of such an identiy, to a recognition of the conventionality of language and its susceptibility to change, to the perception of language as a human creation, and eventually to the conclusion that, as the creator of language, man also shapes through language the only world he can know directly, including even himself." --William J. Bouwsma, "The Renaissance and the Drama of Western History."

And I tag: superquail, colvincd, sparnak, urbanwhittie, and napkin314. (That's right, smarty-pants: if you're so dorky, do it twice.)

I have rearranged my room so that the window-poking incident can never be repeated. This is a Good Thing. I also have a really nice new comforter and sheets.
I'm just listening to this CD for the first time--I got it last week--and it kicks ASS.

I frequently look up spellings of words in the dictionary before i type things.

Also, The Fifth Elephant is one of my favorite books EVER.

after this post I have determined that next to you, I am the coolest person ever, even if I too sing harmony to punk. I hereby denounce my dorkishness.
