Default Andrew is a geek

But not in a bad way.

Fan of the show, keep up the good work Andrew. If I see less than 3 geeky moments from Andrew in a show, I consider it a failure. I haven't been disappointed yet.

:P

I geek doesn't necessarily imply computer skills. That's just one major path to geekdom.

Geeks were the ones that bit the heads of chickens (or bats - which make Ozzy Osbourne a geek) at carnival sideshows.

See, no technology involved at all.

I heard that one reason the Circuit City collapsed was because of the geeks they hired for the FireDog service. The chicken allowance bankrupted the company. Would have been cheaper to employ nerds instead.

It's talk like this that keeps the dweeb viewership down.
