Maybe it is the crowd one hangs with. Either I never hear Simpson's quotes or am too ignorant to recognize them. I hear (and make) Python references an a fairly regular basis (relatively speaking).

I don't dislike The Simpson's (I used to watch them almost religiously when I was in college many moons ago), but for whatever reason have not watched in recent years. I actually admire the wit, satire and longevity of the show! But yet, I do not watch

I do 'Simpsons' quotes all the time.

Simpsons quoting applies as well. And I know plenty of people who still quote Monty Python at every conceivable opportunity.

I don't really consider Monty Python worse than any of the other examples of this and find it equally annoying when someone is a random movie quote generator or everything has a corrolary in Star Trek.

Of course there are circles where this more appropriate. If you're hanging out with a bunch of Monty Python geeks or Star Trek geeks or Simpsons geeks then it is fine. It is that fine line of controlling your geekness to appropriate places and groups of people.

Would throwing up on somebody's feet be considered quoting MP?

Alex · 07-22-2006, 09:46 AM

Depends on how you swallowed them in the first place.

Would that be considered quoting a porn?

How about this then?

^^^^ Hahaha

Ah, but all too true about the fine line of knowing when, where and with whom one can geek out being the true test of whether you are a fun nerd or a total dork.

I must admit I slip once in a while, as do a few of the fun nerds I know and love. It's but a small price to pay to hang with the eccentrics who have a liking for the fantastical, and yet are not hopelessly retarded or socially misfitting.

Yup, that about says it all.

i haven't really watched the "Symptoms", MP and I'm finding I don't want to see Pee Wee's Big Adventure because, since it was announced at the cemetery, all I've heard are people quoting lines.

Using a quote at a key moment can be interesting. However, it gets uninteresting REALLY fast. I don't care which geek community you belong to, it gets old.

Sigh.

I guess our little NA is destined to remain woefully uncultured
