So what about geek bloggers? You know, the ones without the ability to lead normal lives, don’t have healthy perspectives, lack the ability to relate to other people and lack any concern with politics while maintaining an unhealthy obsession with science fiction, technology, and deep-seated hatred for those on the other side of the Star Trek/Wars debate?

“This has been… another episode of… Roger Abramson! Net! Psychologist!

.

No, JP: this has been another episode of When Bloggers Attack!

Boy, am I glad I haven’t been participating in this conversation.

Ron has a point. In my experience, political wars pale in comparison to Mac/PC skirmishes, Star Trek vs Star Wars, XBox vs Playstation vs Wii, DVD_HD vs Blu-Ray.

And they all, combined, cannot match the fury of these two:

BBQ wars. (FYI - If you say Texas style is better than Memphis style, we definitely have a quarrel)

To circumcise or not circumcise.

The latter has left a rubbled landscape on the web that remotely resembles Northern Ireland, circa 1985. If you happen upon a circ discussion, run away as fast as you can.

The Barbeque War always end up being very messy for everyone involved.

Music City Bloggers is like the “Flight of the Phoenix”. A blog crashes in the desert, the survivors build a new blog out of the wreckage. The only question is will it fly?

The answer is yes, it will fly.

#9…

I love that analogy.

(Esp. if we’re the remake which features shirtless Hugh Laurie

Ah! “Flight of the Phoenix”! Yes! But only if Hugh Laurie can somehow be involved, ‘cuz he rocks.

Kat, you scare the hell out of me sometimes.

I agree with the geek blogger definition in general, except the socially inept part. Geeks are smart techie people with social skills. Nerds are smart techie people with no social skills. Important distinction.

Ah, Roger….

It’s so much fun being inside your mind.

Note, though, that I made no mention of the shirtless thing.

Don’t really get the point of this post, but I like the meme that’s developed:
Megan Goodchild Profile
Mac
Star Wars
PlayStation, Xbox AND Wii (well, all Nintendos, actually)
Don’t really care
Memphis Style
Circumcised

Kat and Paul are (mostly) both wrong! One two three four, I declare a Flame War! (not really)

PC
Star Wars
Wii
HD-DVD
Yes to all barbeque
Uncirced

Roger knows the target audience. Milftastic content plus $1.00 off Tide with Bleach coupon equal Bloggy Box Office Boffo.

*pokes head in*

Did somebody mention a shirtless Hugh Laurie????

Oh this is the best “While I’m Sitting At My Desk Eating Lunch” entertainment EVAH!

DVD? meh. I don’t care really.
Any BBQ that ISN’T smoked. First bite of smoke BBQ reminded me of taking a hit off a big bong.
Circumsize.

Like Megan, I am playing along with the whole meme vibe… Especially since A) I am not a political blogger and B) I am not a Mommy blogger. So without further adieu:

PC
Star Wars
No opinion
DVD-HD
Mmmmm, did you say BBQ?!
Uncircumsized

Has anyone else noticed that the girls pick Apple (because they’re pretty, pretty paperweights) and the boys pick PCs (because they’re useful and can do things)?

Note, though, that I made no mention of the shirtless thing.

That’s not what I saw…in your mind…

Ron,

This “girl” picked Apple because, although she’s been writing code for computers for YEARS, if she wants to do something besides fiddle with the BIOS, cramjam peripherals into place, doink with subpar security systems and sort through spyware she will use a Mac.

Yes, Macs are pretty. They’re also functional. And I will also kick your ass.

Kat, you’re circumcised?

I’ll play. Lighthearted is of the good.

and I usually fight on the side of the anti-circ people, but I really don’t give a shit, not having a penis and all.

I have tried 3 times to get my comments posted to no avail…. Sigh…….

Oh, “Kat” fight between Ron and Coble! Yikes!

Kat, you’re circumcised?

No, but that’s my preference when it,er, comes up.

Fished ya out of Akismet, Klinde!

Thanks, not in a swimming mood today.

Kat, you’re circumcised?

No, but that’s my preference when it,er, comes up

And I *still* have never seen an adult uncirced penis. So I guess my *preference* for them would be circed, since I’ve not had experience with the uncirced.

The only place I’ve seen an adult uncirc’ed penis is in Playgirl magazine.

It confused and upset me.

Pretty funny Ginger. You must be a realist.

@Kat - did ya need a whiskey? lololol

None of that stuff has never been a big problem for me. No spyware problems, no viruses now that I’m off my college intraweb, no peripheral issues… maybe I’m just really lucky when it comes to my PCs.

Well, I’ve seen pictures of them. I think they’re cute, like they’re wearing a little penis turtleneck sweater.

Woah, Woah, Woah…Roger, are you saying everyone doesn’t watch late night Congressional Sessions on C-Span? Damn, I must be living in some kind of bubble.

Now, I’d like to see your profile of the kind of person who runs for political office

Sean –

You have perspective, so you can’t really be a Political Blogger.

Which–yes–makes you a Mommy Blogger. It’s a simplistic world I’ve created here.

Has anyone else noticed that RON IS A DOUCHE?

Actually, I’m half a box of maxi pads.

fun.

I always thought Ron smelled kind of vinegary. This explains a lot.

“Well, I’ve seen pictures of them. I think they’re cute, like they’re wearing a little penis turtleneck sweater.”

Diet coke almost came out of my nose… Go see my answers to the “meme”.

Oops, forgot to mention that last one was quoting Ivy…. It’s hard to function when carbonated beverages threaten to exit your naval cavaties….

Kat & Ivy, I know somebody. Wonder if he would come do a demo…

@Rachel I am dying laughing at the thought of an “uncirced penis demonstration”. This is purely for scientific purposes, y’all. I just wanna see how it works.

Well, to say that it’s really cute how the head pops out of the turtleneck sweater isn’t very conducive to the “manly” image that should be projected here…

Anyboy wanna help me here?

Roger,

Well, I am a member of the “mommy” party, so I guess that could work.

Ooh, I wanna play.

Neither (I’ve never seen either and don’t plan to)
Neither (or whatever Netflix sends)
Neither (since Memphis-style BBQ tofu does not exist)
Circ because I’m a good American.

That wasn’t as fun as I thought it’d be.

Oops, not only did I not close my tag, I left out the part where I’m an adult and I don’t play video games. I’m like Ginger; I haven’t played since Atari.

I resent my post becoming a hotspot for a discussion of wienerchopping.

I blame the mommy bloggers, Roger.

Leave it to Slarti to start a winkus discussion, get his popcorn, sit back and watch…never to be heard from again.

Gotta love that Slarti.

Me too.

Ginger, are you implying that Slarti is a voyeur?

Adult Swim, all in the pool.

Mac
Star Trek–come on it’s more fun!
Any-if they have a driving/racing game.
DVD_HD–but I’m waiting to see who slugs it out VHS/BETA style.
Carolina Style-Eastern to be specific.
Uncircmsised-this is the silent majority .

Pink Kitty’s Profile:

- Mac!!!
- Star Wars
- Wii
- Uh… what? I’ll upgrade when everything migrates to one format.
- Memphis style but a close second to eastern North Carolina BBQ (Kepley’s is good)
- Circumcised penises, though I really like Ginger’s answer, too.

I accidentally created a meme? How cool is that?

Well, then, I guess I’d better play:
-PC (ONLY MS products! I’m a hack!)
-Star Wars
-Playstation (although I loved my friend’s Atari in 1982).
-BluRay, because I’ll eventually buy a Playstation 3
-BBQ should be pork, the ribs should be dry. Anybody want to go to Rendevouz?
-Circimcised (as is my son, who was circ’d at SIX MONTHS OLD! (this is whare you call me a barbaric father). Sometimes, I wish I was uncirced, because the darn things look like those rubber things you buy at the checkout at the store that are filled with water and impossible to hold. And I like to play with those.
