friday thoughts

Following on from the career change thread - Has anyone else noticed the link between geekyness and owning an SV? It seems that with more and more posts, it isn't a coincidence.

Are there any cool SV owners on here? By cool I mean for a:

a fighter pilot
film star
porn star
sports star
people with numchuck skills, bow-hunting skills, computer hacking skills....

you get the idea.

I know of a pilot...not fighter but he does fly 737's full of drunken englishmen taking their cheap 18-30 package holidays

I was an extra in the film Still Crazy if that counts.

By your own admission, you

-do networky things for a job
-act out battles with swords, leather and stuff
-play world of warcraft.

Even being an extra in Top Gun, couldn't revert geek status!

I'm all of those things. Tho i had to get out of porn cos the g/f complained that i didnt pay her enough attention.
Ive also done 4 or 5 diffrent martial arts in my time and ive been on telly a couple of times, yes even speaky bits.
Lived on an island in the sunshine, off the african coast for 4 yrs too.

Oh and of course, i'm also a superhero. Part Time.

Does that help you feel all SV riders aint geeeks?

i'm none of the above but 100% certain i'm not a geek

I think it's an internet forum thing, not an SV thing.

Ahh but geeks are the new cool people

Networky things are cool - and you get cute girlies asking you round to help set up their "internet thingy" or look at their PC thats not working.

And what do you think we do after the battles, we drink, and some of the girlies are incredibly cute, and some of the costumes they come up with - chainmail bikini's anyone???

Just like bike-forums, WoW players sometimes get together in real-life - and I know more than one or two of them who are - yep you guessed it Cute Girlies.

You see, Cute Girlies LIKE geeks, because a high percentage of them are

1) Intelligent
2) Pay great attention to detail
3) Have "interesting hobbies" - if you can make armour then you can make cute little designer handbags etc
4) Are not really into a lot of the Macho-Bullsh!t stuff

But then maybe thats just my point of view

Have to agree with SoulKiss, except I don't go poking people with sticks in the woods or play WoW for that matter (wish I had the time!)
