Most people laugh cynically when I say that I am not a geek. I have never seen Battlestar Galactica, I’m no good at electronics, and I don’t even know where that “smoke me a kipper” quote comes from. They just retort with the cruel wisdom: “any true geek is in denial”. It stings because despite my best efforts, I know who CmdrTaco is.
Adam has thrown down the gauntlet for those of us who know dopefish from blowfish: a geek table quiz. The proposal is just at interest-check stage, so if you think that you have what it takes to be the alpha geek, then leave a comment on Adam’s notablog. I’ll be there if its in Cork.

Sorry, I am a geek, and “Smoke me a kipper, I’ll be back for breakfast” is from Red Dwarf. In an alternate reality where Arnold Rimmer is not a smeghead, that line is how he bids farewell before going on a one way mission to test a reality hopping space ship.
There you go, a piece of trivia you will possibly never use, except at one time to impress a girl at a party in the distant future. It won’t impress her. Trust me.
