The G Word

What the fuck does this fucking t-shirt even mean?

Hold up now, because the shit is about to hit the proverbial fan. I haven't gone on a proper rant in a while.

And that means I have been recharging. Recharging in preparation for this.

Because this, ladies and gentlemen, is my magnum opus, my eureka moment, my je ne sais fucking quoi.

See, what I did, is I grew up and I went to school. And, get this, I was clever! I liked reading, if you'll believe it. I sat in class and I listened because learning was interesting, and I did my homework because I wasn't a brainless cunt.

But when you're a kid, wearing glasses and actually liking to things entering my brain which weren't just the cacophonous wails of the latest X-Factor fame-slut, that makes you something. It makes you unpopular, it makes you bullied, it makes you the G word.

It makes you a GEEK.

Now, that was fine. I didn't mind being a geek. My friends were geeks. We huddled together in the popularity storm, hiding in our anoraks. But it was OK. We were in it together and it was OK.

From left to right: Cunt, Cunt, Cunt, Cunt, Cunt, Cunt, Cunt, Cunt, Cunt.

But then I grew up. Became an adult. And I was horrified to find about something known as geek fashion, or geek-chic.

To your left you will notice some cunts pretending that they are geeks, sporting the geek-chic.

They can fuck off.

They can fuck right off.

They do not know the pain I suffered, we all (we geeks) suffered. Wearing stupid glasses and sitting attentively in lessons and not going for a smoke being the bike sheds. We suffer for what we are.

They have done none of the suffering. They are cool people who have hijacked what geeks look like to make themselves look cooler.

It's a fucking war out there, man. I'm serious. People get beaten up for looking like a geek (haven't you ever seen the opening scene to any coming-of-age teen comedy ever?).

Weezer - categorised as "geek rock" apparently purely on the basis that Rivers Cuomo wears glasses.

[As a side note here, I always felt that movies are a bit mean to jock characters... I mean, they are always, always portrayed as mindless bullies while the geeks are the nice, sensitive caring ones {of course, we are, so I suppose it's justified} but I just wonder whether jocks watch those kinds of films and are rooting for the geeks, or whether they want them to fail?].

These people stealing the geek image - they've probably never even seen Star Wars, or spent a lunchtime at chess club, or ever genuinely been for an eye test (their pathetic over sized glasses probably not even having real lenses).

Well I implore you, fellow geeks. We cannot let them get away with this.

It's OK for me to call myself a geek. And it's OK for me to call me friends geeks. If you are a geek, you can use the word. But this is OUR WORD. They have no right using the G word.

We are geeks.
