How Utterly Embarrassing
If I had a photo of a cow's udders it would be right here.
What have I DONE?!? A purely innocent yet wickedly enjoyable annointing of 10 sexy geeks on this here blog somehow morphed into a couple of evil-doers turning the tables on me.
Evidence of turned tables was discovered in the Comments section for the WIRED Sexiest Geeks Nominees. Seems two of my dearly devoted readers snuck in there and nominated ME. One American (and someone I put on my own list) and one cheeky Brit who lives in Belgium. *ahem* *coughcough*
Now mind you, neither of them waxed on about my geekly abilities; they simply dumped my name in there with the URL or name of this blog. Regardless of that minor oversight, it was so wonderfully kind of those two superheros to add my name to the list. I'm so humbled, especially since that cheeky Brit wrote that I am CLEVAH. ;-) *blush*

maybe we should've put in a plea for those concert tix too?

Waxing poetic tends to increase the noise floor which then reduces the overall signal/noise ratio.
This helps explain why a geek will often nod or grunt rather than engage somebody in a detailed and animated conversation about their last hemorrhoid operation.

Joost - thank u! :-)
Mike - I hope you know I wasn't complaining!
Steve - actually, a few months ago someone from Austria left a comment here about 2 tix for sale/bid... unfortunately this has not been the best year for me financially so I had to pass on it... :-(

Actually, she's one of the sexiest geeks of ALL TIME and of any year (I've actually been in her divine presence!), but there's no Hall-of-Fame for this. Maybe someday . . .

Dwight - you're so sweet, thank you! :-)
And yes, it was back in '95... I was trying to get you in to meet with my boss and you and I went over to Bryant Park and had a beer (or YOU had the beer, I don't recall exactly.) And I don't remember: did you ever get in to see AC, or not?
