Yes, it’s come to this. The same people you raked on in high school now run the world and control every gizmo you own or want to own. And, as you hold your “normal” identity throughout your life, there are times when it may be advantageous to pose as a geek. Maybe to convince your first date that you have job prospects beyond “Walmart clerk”. Maybe to slip in the door at Comdex. Perhaps even to escape being hacked to death by the evil-looking punks at the Internet cafe, the ones with the Tux penguin tattoos and the Mohawks who are eying your laptop. Hint: They don’t like you because of the suit and tie; they HATE that!

Well, fear not, hopeless lamer, I, a certified geek, will give you a rundown of how to pass as a geek for brief moments. Understand, these tactics will in no way work over the long term, like, say, a marriage. But in quick social exchanges, or to bamboozle your cow-orker, these tricks should work sufficiently to help you fool the rest of us into thinking that you’re one of us:

One of the chief attributes of geeks, and intellectuals in general, is attitude. No, attitude doesn’t MAKE you a geek, but that’s not the point of this article. The point here is to FAKE it. And to fake it, you have to feign interests and opinions, and then be smugly confident that your “choices” are superior to the mainstream’s.

Scott Adams, creator of the “Dilbert” comic strip, has a chapter in one of his books about enhancing your aura at work by posing as a “prima-donna”, which is very similar in tactics to this article. Here again, it’s all about the pretended-to attitude.

What defines geeks the most is the range of interests. Use these tricks to speak in the tribal tongue of geeks:

Math: Of course, if you have a calculator, use it. Geeks do that, too. It isn’t about being able to do complex calculations in your head; it’s about using the techie tools to free up your brain for less mundane functions. And by all means, top the other person in arcanity of equipment. If they have a Radio Shack, whip out a Texas Instruments. If they have a Texas Instruments, unclip your slide-rule. Facing a slide-rule? They make portable abacuses! Slide your beads around on your abacus and comment how you saw these things in a whole new light after you read Feynman about computing cube roots on them.

Primes: All prime numbers end in 1, 3, 7, and 9. Just remember those numbers, and look at the last digit of prices, bus numbers, etc. When you encounter one, remark to your companion, “Hey, I think that’s prime”. Odds are good, provided the number is short enough, that you’ll be right. When you work it out on the calculator, even if you were wrong, you will at least get points for the informed hunch.

Counting bases: Learn these words: Binary, Octal, Hexadecimal. Binary is ones and zeros. Octal uses zero thru seven. Hexadecimal uses all the standard numbers, plus the letters A through F. Upon encountering, say, a phone number 455-6102, ask, “Is that in decimal or octal?” Point at the license plate AD3 61F and comment that that’s a number in “hex”. Motel rooms on the first floor, such as 101, 110, etc. are prompts to point and chuckle: “Look, they even number in binary!” It doesn’t matter that you have no idea what you’re talking about. Don’t go out on a limb and try to convert to normal numbers.

Computer Systems: That elite snobbery comes out the hardest in this subject. It’s easy, all you have to do is pretend to hate the mainstream choices: Windows, AOL, Intel. Assert Windows is inferior to (pick one or more) Linux, Unix, BeOS, or Macintosh. Act sympathetic upon hearing an email addy ending in “@AOL.com” and say, “Any idea when they’re gonna put cable modem in your area?” Snort at Intel commercials and chortle “Give me an AMD Duron any day!” It doesn’t matter, again, that you have no idea what you’re talking about. When challenged for an explanation, pick any random nonsense and string it together. Insist that your choice is faster, more secure, less expensive, conductive to open source, more efficient, or whatnot. This is exactly how real live conversations between geeks defending their favorite software/hardware go all the time. The point is that you’re faking an opinion. Like any random geek, you could still be full of hooey.

Now, when it comes to operating systems, the Geekosphere (I coined it! It’s mine! You heard it here first!) has jelled around Linux and BSD. When it comes to Linux distros, you win points the older and more obscure your distro is. Simply look up the history of computing and pick machines and systems going back in 5-year increments; or just learn this phrase: “I run Yggdrasil on a PDP-11. Boy, it was a bitch installing all that from tape!” You’ll need a snorkel to breathe underneath the pile of groupies that will sack you. *Any* BSD distro is obscure. The mere name “BSD 386″ instantly repels suits like garlic repels vampires.

Software: Games: Any popular computer game will do just fine here, but tend to shy away from the “Sim” genre. Some geeks like Sims, some don’t. But almost any geek has at least taken a crack at any game ending in “quest” or “craft”, and first-person-shooters. Bonus for enthusing about Myst, Schizm, etc. Claim to have solved Riven in a single day. RPGs stand for Role Playing Games, and there’s about 999 flavors of them, and they all copy the original Dungeons and Dragons game. The upshot is that if you mumble something about your level 97 (human | troll | elf | hobbit | orc | halfling) (rogue | ranger | warrior | wizard | mage | necromancer | priest | dunadin | paladin), you will easily pass for a devotee of (Rogue | Nethack | Angband | Diablo | DandD-Classic) without too much trouble.

Applications: While there is the obvious prejudice for emacs, vi, Gimp, Adobe, Mozilla, Firefox, and etc., you’re just as well off here letting the other person name a software tool that they use, then caw, “Get a REAL program!”

Programming: Learn not only the names of these programming languages, but the order in which I present them: Basic, Cobol, Pascal, Ada, C, Java, Lisp, Perl, Python, Ruby, Assembler. These are listed in order of “least cool” to “most cool”. Now you know what to do. Whenever the person you’re talking to name-drops any language on this list, simply pick the next one and assert that this is what YOU prefer. What to do if you meet an assembler programmer? Act like any other geek: impressed! Bug them to teach you how to write a tic-tac-toe game that uses artificial intelligence in assembler. Stand and pretend to absorb their explanation in one shot. Shake your head in marvel and mutter, “And all that time, I was trying to do it the hard way!”

Here’s another thing if you’re out-trumped by somebody who knows multiple programming languages, including the coolest: make one up! Yes, it’s true, there are more languages and variants out there than any human being could possibly keep track of, and new ones get invented all the time. Just call it something like “B/arg3″ or “Modico” and claim that it combines the best features of (insert random language #1) and (insert random language #2). The geek you’re talking to will simply assume that they’ve missed the relevant Slashdot articles. Cover up line: “It just reached ‘break-even’ point last month.”

Pretend you like these: TV shows: Babylon V, Star Trek, Carnivale. When you meet a B5 fan, claim ST. Claim B5 to ST fans. Meet a fan of both, ask if they’ve seen Carnivale. No, Carnivale isn’t true geek fare, but it’s high-brow enough that you’ll pass as one who has “burnt out” on the science fiction genre temporarily. Gain extra points by dropping “Buffy the Vampire Slayer” or “X-Files” into the conversation. Avoid “Sliders” and “Quantum Leap”, they died on cancellation. Don’t even claim affection for “Firefly”, because Firefly is so supercool, even it’s fans disown it for fear of being flamed by the other fans. It’s like the name of a diety: never say it out loud.

Movies: Original Star Trek movies, Lord of the Rings movies (but be sure to mention that they came CLOSE to re-creating the books), Highlander, the Fifth Element, Minority Report, Blade Runner, Alien (deny ever having seen the sequels), Sneakers, marginal reference to the Star Wars series (all geeks have seen Star Wars movies, but seldom RAVE about them), any Monty Python movie, The Rocky Horror Picture Show, and anime. Beware of wanna-be fodder that’s marketed to geeks (and which some geeks, sadly, fall for), such as Hackers, Trekies, Wargames, Short Circuit, and The Matrix series. And whatever you do, don’t use the Rocky Horror one unless you’re sure that the other person _isn’t_ a Rocky Horror fan, because the last thing you want to do is be caught not having every single line, song, and nuance from this movie memorized.

Hobbies: The more obscure, the better. You can always start out with the standard model-building, model railroads, chess, Medievalism. But since geeks love being narrow, beleaguered minorities, don’t let that stop you from picking increasingly more esoteric interests, until you’re assured that the person you’re talking to will never be able to trip you up on cross examination. Instead of crossword, say cryptic. Instead of chess, say go. Instead of tennis, say fencing. Best is to find something that NOBODY ELSE IN THE ROOM HAS HEARD OF. Including interests of your own sole invention. Tell me “I collect cephalopod footprint fossils.” doesn’t hush the room.

Books to leave out on the coffee table: Comics: Dilbert, Bloom County, The 5th Wave, The Far Side, and ANY super-hero comic, Marvel being preferably cooler to DC. What matters in comic books isn’t which one, but that you, a grown adult with a job, like ANY of them enough to own one.

Other: Any book with pictures of the following on the cover: robots, vampires, barbarians, castles, aliens, UFOs, other planets, mythical beings (i.e. elves, unicorns, dragons), galaxies, spaceships, and equations. Bonus points acquire for each of these items on the cover of the same book. It doesn’t matter what the title is, or whether it’s fiction or non-fiction.

Science names to drop: Buckminster Fuller, Richard Feynman, Stephen W. Hawking, Isaac Asimov, Benjamin Franklin, Blaise Pascal. Einstein is too mainstream.

Good luck, and remember to think of me when you get to third base with that Silicon Valley groupie!

Source: How to Totally Fake Being a Geek

1. Bring a pillow. Fall asleep (or pretend to) until the last 15 minutes. Wake up, say “oh geez, better get cracking” and do some gibberish work. Turn it in a few minutes early.
2. Get a copy of the exam, run out screaming “Andre, Andre, I’ve got the secret documents!!”
3. If it is a math/science exam, answer in essay form. If it is long answer/essay form, answer with numbers and symbols. Be creative. Use the integral symbol.
4. Make paper airplanes out of the exam. Aim them at the instructor’s left nostril.
5. Talk the entire way through the exam. Read questions aloud, debate your answers with yourself out loud. If asked to stop, yell out, “I’m SOOO sure you can hear me thinking.” Then start talking about what a jerk the instructor is.
6. Bring cheerleaders.
7. Walk in, get the exam, sit down. About five minutes into it, loudly say to the instructor, “I don’t understand ANY of this. I’ve been to every lecture all semester long! What’s the deal? And who the hell are you? Where’s the regular guy?”
8. Bring a Game Boy (or Game Gear, etc…). Play with the volume at max level.
9. On the answer sheet (book, whatever) find a new, interesting way to refuse to answer every question. For example: I refuse to answer this question on the grounds that it conflicts with my religious beliefs. Be creative.
10. Bring pets.
11. Run into the exam room looking about frantically. Breathe a sigh of relief. Go to the instructor, say “They’ve found me, I have to leave the country” and run off.
12. Fifteen minutes into the exam, stand up, rip up all the papers into very small pieces, throw them into the air and yell out “Merry Christmas.” If you’re really daring, ask for another copy of the exam. Say you lost the first one. Repeat this process every fifteen minutes.
13. Do the exam with crayons, paint, or fluorescent markers.
14. Come into the exam wearing slippers, a bathrobe, a towel on your head, and nothing else.
15. Come down with a BAD case of Tourette’s Syndrome during the exam. Be as vulgar as possible.
16. Do the entire exam in another language. If you don’t know one, make one up! For math/science exams, try using Roman numerals.
17. Bring things to throw at the instructor when s/he’s not looking. Blame it on the person nearest to you.
18. As soon as the instructor hands you the exam, eat it.
19. Walk into the exam with an entourage. Claim you are going to be taping your next video during the exam. Try to get the instructor to let them stay, be persuasive. Tell the instructor to expect a percentage of the profits if they are allowed to stay.
20. Every five minutes, stand up, collect all your things, move to another seat, continue with the exam.
21. Turn in the exam approximately 30 minutes into it. As you walk out, start commenting on how easy it was.
22. Do the entire exam as if it was multiple choice and true/false. If it is a multiple choice exam, spell out interesting things (DCCAB. BABE. etc..).
23. Bring a black marker. Return the exam with all questions and answers completely blacked out.
24. Get the exam. Twenty minutes into it, throw your papers down violently, scream out “Fuck this!” and walk out triumphantly.
25. Arrange a protest before the exam starts (i.e. Threaten the instructor that whether or not everyone’s done, they are all leaving after one hour to go drink)
26. Show up completely drunk. (Completely drunk means at some point during the exam, you should start crying for mommy).
27. Every now and then, clap twice rapidly. If the instructor asks why, tell him/her in a very derogatory tone, “the light bulb that goes on above my head when I get an idea is hooked up to a clapper. DUH!”
28. Comment on how sexy the instructor is looking that day.
29. Come to the exam wearing a black cloak. After about 30 minutes, put on a white mask and start yelling “I’m here, the phantom of the opera” until they drag you away.
30. Go to an exam for a class you have no clue about, where you know the class is very small, and the instructor would recognize you if you belonged. Claim that you have been to every lecture. Fight for your right to take the exam.
31. Upon receiving the exam, look it over, while laughing loudly, say “you don’t really expect me to waste my time on this drivel? Days of our Lives is on!!!”
32. Bring a water pistol with you. Nuff said.
33. From the moment the exam begins, hum the theme to Jeopardy. Ignore the instructor’s requests for you to stop. When they finally get you to leave one way or another, begin whistling the theme to the Bridge on the River Kwai.
34. Start a brawl in the middle of the exam.
35. If the exam is math/science related, make up the longest proofs you could possibly think of. Get pi and imaginary numbers into most equations. If it is a written exam, relate everything to your own life story.
36. Come in wearing a full knight’s outfit, complete with sword and shield.
37. Bring a friend to give you a back massage the entire way through the exam. Insist this person is needed, because you have bad circulation.
38. Bring cheat sheets FOR ANOTHER CLASS (make sure this is obvious… like history notes for a calculus exam… otherwise you’re not just failing, you’re getting kicked out too) and staple them to the exam, with the comment “Please use the attached notes for references as you see fit.”
39. When you walk in, complain about the heat. Strip.
40. After you get the exam, call the instructor over, point to any question, ask for the answer. Try to work it out of him/her.
41. One word: Wrestlemania.
42. Bring balloons, blow them up, start throwing them around like they do before concerts start.
43. Try to get people in the room to do the wave.
44. Play frisbee with a friend at the other side of the room.
45. Bring some large, cumbersome, ugly idol. Put it right next to you. Pray to it often. Consider a small sacrifice.
46. Get deliveries of candy, flowers, balloons, telegrams, etc… sent to you every few minutes throughout the exam.
47. During the exam, take apart everything around you. Desks, chairs, anything you can reach.
48. Complete the exam with everything you write being backwards at a 90 degree angle.
49. Bring a musical instrument with you, play various tunes. If you are asked to stop, say “it helps me think.” Bring a copy of the Student Handbook with you, challenging the instructor to find the section on musical instruments during finals. Don’t forget to use the phrase “Told you so”.

We each have our daily routine and sometimes we get bored from the same activities over and over again.

That is why we have extra-curricular activities, vacations, hobbies etc. to take us out of sometimes boring mundane lives.

Browsing around in Powerbooks, I found a book titled, ‘This Book Will Change Your Life Again!’ by Benrik Limited.

The book instructs everyone, who gets hold of it, to follow the instructions indicated per day to make their lives more fun. ^^ Instructions included are not to be taken lightly for some are either twisted or weird in context and may degrade one’s ego but the fun is in there! LOL

The book is not of cheap value here in the Philippines, but I was able to get a copy of it (my poor wallet -_-). As a treat to the other members of Winglica, I’m placing some of the instructions here for fun. It would depend on you if you are to follow them seriously. But the most important value here is to have fun and laugh to yourself or with others

DISCLAIMER: The following instructions are not from me. They are from the book.

NOTE: Winglica will not be held liable for any harm that may come from following the instructions. Members will be held responsible for their own actions. So please still be cautious of your actions. Just a friendly warning. ^^

• Today, apologize for something your ancestors did.
• Today, smile inappropriately
  Aren’t you sick of smiling inappropriately? Who is it that tells you when to smile anyway? Corporate advertisers for the great toothpaste market are making millions from linking normal life with appropriate smiling. So today disrupt their marketing ploys by smiling when you shouldn’t. Smile when you hear bad news. Smile when you hear something offensive. Smile when a baby cries. Just smile, and smile and smile your face off, but only when you shouldn’t. Let them make a marketing campaign of that. You will either be applauded for being enigmatic or they will just incarcerate you for being a psychopath. And if they do, just smile.
• Today infect someone
  We are all covered in germs, whether bacteria, protozoa, fungi or viruses. It is useless to fight it; instead, today, embrace our germ-ridden nature and pass some of yours on to the next guy. Shake hands, cough, hug, kiss – do whatever it takes to pass the bacterial love…
• Today write a letter to your future self.
• Today do everything in slow motion.
  
  The reason movies show dramatic events in slow motion isn’t just to let us see the details. Accidents and other high-stress situations are actually experienced in slow motion. Scientists speculate that the rush of adrenalin alters our brain’s perception of time – what the Greeks called tachypsychia or distortion of the “speed of the mind.” Those Greeks!
• Make a sticker of any of the ff and place it on your back.
  * I’m Lonely. Please talk to me.
  * Today is my Birthday!
  * STOP following me.
  * AMNESIAC. If you recognize me, let me know.
