Geekiest Item in your House
« on: November 02, 2010, 04:33:24 pm »
There is a CD, just recently purchased, in my house that is Charles Dickens' A Christmas Carol as read by Patrick Stewart.

I shall award one solid block of minecraft gold to anyone who can beat that in terms of geeky idolatry.

I can't beat that.

But I do have an unopened model of Spartan John-117.

And a poster of Kenpachi Zaraki, but I don't count that as geeky.

I should probably have my head checked, because I find myself in complete agreement with Nikov.

In the days when Sussman was a novice, Minsky once came to him as he sat hacking at the PDP-6.
“What are you doing?”, asked Minsky. “I am training a randomly wired neural net to play Tic-Tac-Toe” Sussman replied. “Why is the net wired randomly?”, asked Minsky. “I do not want it to have any preconceptions of how to play”, Sussman said.
Minsky then shut his eyes. “Why do you close your eyes?”, Sussman asked his teacher.
“So that the room will be empty.”
At that moment, Sussman was enlightened.

This being Homestuck, I'm not sure whether that's post-scratch Rose or Vriska with a wig.

Does stuff you can wear count?

In this case my "Guns don't kill people, magic missles do"-t-shirt and my Ergo Proxy pendant.

My collection of knock-off Transformers, most still in their original packaging, with horrible photoshopping and Engrish. I don't have a place to display them right now, so they're sitting on top of one of my long-boxes of 1c 90's comics, including a FULL RUN of Angel & The Ape, bitches.

As well, all the posts i've seen you make are flame posts, barely if at all constructive.

My dad has a Black Knight action figure with his desk stuff.
And all of Flying Circus on VHS.
He recorded it off the TV.

I raise you my copy of GEB and add Le Ton Beau de Marot, as well as Fluid Concepts and Creative Analogies--all by Hofstadter.


Hm... other stuff.  Probably 500 volumes of manga in Japanese, as well as a couple hundred in French (Japanese manga, translated to French, printed in Italy...).  I own all of Dragonball in both languages.

Calvin and Hobbes in Swedish.

A pair of samurai stirrups.

Kendo armor.

Also, my floor and bed are covered in math textbooks.


I don't have any one item that stands out, though, unfortunately.
