    Happy Geek Pride Day!


    https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Geek_Pride_Day
    10th anniversary since it started!

    So, how will you folks celebrate?
    Joining a light-saber brawl, dusting off some cool cosplay, communicating in Klingon, getting some gadget or figurine, hosting a Saint Seiya marathon...
    Whatever fandom or pieces of the larger culture you love, I hope you are all having a lovely day! :]

    I'll celebrate it by doing what any antisocial geek would do:

    Staying inside, playing video games, and not interacting with anyone.

    That's the spirit. Show these noobs how it's really done.

    That's a fine choice, I hope you enjoy the day!.
    In here, the antisocial, or socially incompetent, aspect is welcomed and celebrated too. Respect!.

    Who the what

    I honestly did not even know this was a thing, nor do I really understand it.

    But uh...hurray I guess. Apparently it's also towel day though or something-

    I don't think that's a coincidence.

    I'll drop puns that require deep etymological knowledge to parse into casual conversation while trying to show people my stamp collection.

    Didn't think I required a "pride day."
    'Twas a cutlass swipe or an ounce of lead
    Or a yawing hole in a battered head
    And the scuppers clogged with rotting red
    And there they lay I damn me eyes
    All lookouts clapped on Paradise
    All souls bound just contrarywise, yo ho ho and a bottle of rum!

    Here we have TV shows about it (TNT Spain starting in a few minutes), as well as public gatherings, award ceremonies, softcombat in the park (similar to larp), massive Grease sing-along, etc.

    Towel day is acknowledged and celebrated simultaneously.

    translation:
    may 25th geek pride day (and towel day)
    Very important, the towel! Without it, right now you'd be watching all of my the dark side of the force!
    Fuck, how itchy is the laser-saber... I'm sure that Yoda asshole gave me midichlorians
