The 1st rule of Geek Squad...

The 1st rule of Geek Squad is... you do not talk about Geek Squad!

The 2nd rule of Geek Squad is... YOU DO NOT TALK... No, sorry. I got that wrong. The second rule is... No smoking!

Actually, ignore those rules.

The 1st rule is... TELL EVERYONE YOU KNOW ABOUT GEEK SQUID!! (new title)

The question for this thread is..

If The Geek Squad was like Fight Club, what would be your rules and home work assignments?

(This is just for fun, there will be no rules for The Geek Squad apart from to play nice and be respectful to one another... and to spread the word of GEEK)

    First rule...APA referencing .. Homework for everyone in Geek Squad - put my assignment references in APA format (To save me a tedious job).

    Thanks xx

    I would say the first rule is not to bash on other people's geek groove. We all have different angles of geek culture that we love. Let the haters stay in the jock world ;)

    (Sorry to geek jocks - my exhubs was a major jock and was always hating on my geek-lore)

    On a happy note - I have decided to start wearing my work badge on my "Star Wars in Concert" lanyard, complete with mini lightsaber. Wonder if anyone will notice??

    1st rule of the Geek Squad:
    Always be faithful to your geekiness. No toning it down for the unwashed masses! They only wish they were as cool as we are.
    :glasses:

    Homework:
    Firefly and Serenity are required watching. Although, really, how do you get in without having already seen them?

    I haven't seen either [ducking], but they are in my Netflix que.

    My work ID is now officially hanging off my "Star Wars in Concert" lanyard, complete with mini light up lightsaber. Let's see how well this goes over at work. LOL

    First rule of Geek Squad is that you must have vast knowledge of Adam West, Tom Baker and William Shatner! LOL!

    Your homework assignment...should you choose to accept it, is to educate those around you about anything geeky or related to geek pop culture.

    1st rule of Geek Squad is to stay active and take your geeky awesomeness on the road for all to see.

    Home work:
    Part A: do something to expand on that awesomeness that makes you a member of the geek squad.
    Part B: Invite a fellow geek squad member to be your MFP friend
  • Actually another question about Geek Squad...

    Do you want this group to be popular, or do you like it how it is? So..

    A) The more, the merrier
    B) Two's company, Three's a crowd

    The more the merrier... as long as all remain respectful isn't really in question since in all my experience geeks get along with geeks. We all just get each other.

    All geeks feel free to add me as a friend... just add "Geek Squad" in your request and I won't decline.
