My husband has reached a new level of geekiness

[hucifer]

DH's favorite place in the world is Tatooine Traders outside of Star Tours. I was so embarrassed. We were making a purchase there on our honeymoon and we were charging it to our room. The cashier asked Chris if she could see his id. I swear, he uttered these words while waving his hand in front of her... "You don't need to see our identification" in his best Sir Alec Guiness/Obi-wan voice. I was mortified. Of course now we look back and laugh. Although I don't think the cashier found it that amusing!

Actually, that's pretty funny.

See now, I use this when I see a piece of jewelry that I want...gotta love Jedi Mind Tricks!

My husband also tries the Jedi mind tricks, but I keep having to remind him that they don't work on me. I am sure he will keep trying anyway.

Last time we were at Once Upon a Toy at Downtown Disney he pointed out the master replica light saber to me. He thought it was cool, but he told me that he will only be satisfied with a REAL light saber. I could just see him slicing the Thanksgiving turkey with a light saber... I think I will buy him Darth Tater instead.

But for all of his geekiness, he is still a guy. He can spout off all sorts of random sports trivia (and he doesn't even watch a lot of sports) and loves anything to do with farting or belching. I fear what he may teach any sons that we might have. I always describe him as a man of sophisticated intelligence with the mentality of a twelve year old.

Today my husband told me a funny story, and I just had to share this with someone.

My husband is a geek. I love him, but he really is a geek. When he gets ready for work, he puts a variety of pens in the pocket of his work shirt. Why anyone would need five different types of pens is beyond me, but if it makes him happy, so be it.

So today he is showing off some new pen he has and he is telling me how awesome his new pen is. I am still not sure what makes the pen so great, but one again, if it makes him happy, so be it. Anyway, apparently this is his "light saber" pen. He says the regular ball point pen is his "Youngling" pen and some other pen that is slightly better, but not as cool as the "light saber" pen is the "Padawan" pen. I just looked at him, ready to crack up, and told him that he has reached a level of geekiness that I didn't even know existed. It is amazing how sometimes things as simple as ink pens can make a person so happy.

So when you gonna tell us about the "geeky" part? Im still waiting.

The important question is:


Does he have protection for that pocket?!

You are so funny!

I'm a geek to. I asked DH if Crocs would be going too far...I only care what he thinks. He said after the Golden Mickey Ears the Crocs are welcome.

Of course, now I'll be the first to admit that I have many geeky traits too, but DH is the supreme master geek of the house. And I love him.

OMG I thought my DH was the only one that did that. Those poor CMs in Tatooine Traders must hear that all day long. We spend all our money between there and the POTC shop in MK.

Mine is an ultra geek, but then again so is Steve Jobs and Bill Gates. I am a bit of a geek myself so we are a good match

I loved reading this thread this morning girls!!! Thanks for the AM laugh! It's like you all are married to my DH!!

I'm glad to know we all know the secret to happiness: marry a geek!! I know it's working for me! I even bought my hubby the Darth Tater and Spud Trooper (I'm such an enabler).

And my dh's favorite shop in WDW is Tatooine Traders too. Look what he made me do. (Did I mention that I really, REALLY love him? I must. )

 

[SideshowBob]

SHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH
Don't tell my husband about the light saber pen. He will want it to go with hi STAR TREK watch

Hrrrmm.... SSB has not seen Star Trek watches... TOS? STNG?

SSB=nerd

 

[Mimi Q]

Becky, that picture is hilarious.

 

[Desiree]

Wow that pic is classic!!

Yea, my DH has a Darth Tater also. I guess we enable because we love!

 

[Ready to go in Ok]

Proud member of the married to the geek club. Love my pen loving, Star Wars/ Star Trek loving, comic reading, cheesy humor, pants over the belly button DH.

 

[MOMTOCUTESTDOGEVER]

Here's my oh-so-lovable, very geeky DH at WDW...

He doesn't have names for his pens, but he does have quite the collection of them. He carries around a little notebook and pen in his pocket to write down stuff he sees while he's out window shopping. I am not permitted to look at this notebook because sometimes he writes things he wants to get for me in it!

I LOVE MY GEEK!!

Ok now. I own, and wear, everything in this picture except the t-shirt. I even have a moustash and eyeglasses.

 

[Planogirl]

I'm not a geek. Darth Vader and Gambit are protecting my PC but that doesn't make me a geek.

Welcome to DORK Side!

 

[Mandabella]

Welcome to DORK Side!

Although my geeky husband insists that he is a geek NOT a dork. Apparently there is a difference between dorkdom, geekdom, and nerdsville. He'll only probably claim geek.

 

[gypsydoodlebug]

Another Nerd Herder here! Mine's a techno-geek who works and writes about computers. He does national podcasts for CNET Networks.

My DH just bought me a brand spanking new laptop last night since our old one broke and I've been DISing on his computer. That means he can't link up with his other nerd-boy buddies to play World of Warcraft and give me a PLAY BY PLAY of what his stupid character is doing. But, hey, at least I get a new laptop outta the deal, eh?

Oh, and his favorite movie is Blade Runner and he listens to ...

Enya.

Yes, you certainly can.
