geek rights movement

with geek/nerd pride day right around the corner, i thought this would be an excellent opportunity to remind all you gerds (combo of 'geek' and 'nerd' - i'm THAT clever) of your rights and responsibilities...

rights:
1. the right to be even nerdier.
2. the right to not leave your house.
3. the right to not hace a significant other and to be a virgin.
4. the right to not like football or any other sport.
5. the right to associate with other nerds.
6. the right to have few frends (or none at all).
7. the right to have all the nerdy friends you want.
8. the right to not be "in-style."
9. the right to be overweight and have poor eyesight.
10. the right to show off your nerdiness.
11. the right to tak over the world.

responsibilities:
1. to be a nerd, no matter what.
2. try and be nerdier than anyone else.
3. if there is a discussion about something nerdy, you must give an opinion.
4. save any and all nerdy things you have.
5. do everything you can to show off your nerdy stuff as though it were a "museum of nerdiness."
6. don't be a generalized nerd - you must specialize in something.
7. attend every nerdy movie on opening nigth and buy every nerdy book before anyone else.
8. wait in line on every opening night. if you can go in costume or at least with a related t-shirt, all the better.
9. don't waste your time on anything not related to nerddom.
10. try to take over the world.

nowhere on these lists is dying alone... but i guess these are more like "how to" instructions...
