Who's geekier?

[muse0fire]

Hubby and I had a disagreement as to who is geekier, so I thought I'd put it to a poll. (I'd like to add a caveat that we both have fairly mainstream tendencies in addition to the geekdom. We're well balanced!)

(But I still think he's geekier. What do you think?)

You won best costume at a Highander con? I never knew that. Who'd you dress as?

Yup. Stephen and I went to a Highlander Convention ("The Gathering III") in Colorado - not sure when, maybe around 1995? - and we rented really cool Renaissance costumes. Weren't dressed as anyone in particular, but there was a costume contest being judged by Panzer and Davis, the creators of the series, and we won. Even got interviewed on a local news channel. Somewhere in my house there is a VHS cassetts with the news clip.

And there's a photograph. Hubby is threatening to scan and upload it.

I'd like to chime in with my vote to prevent the scan/upload of said photograph.

That said, I'll go back to skulking around LJ. :)

Oh, and although my vote was split in the two polls, in general, I think Hubby wins because there are simply bonus points for being a computer professional.

I remember the costumes. :) Wasn't that the same year that the Methos "Cavalry" dressed up as the Wives of Methos? Fun times.

My vote is split as well. Costuming definitely beats a bumper sticker, but World of Warcraft for hours? That's definitely geek.

A unanimously split vote, but I think hubby gets the win. The first question is at least pretty close, but a bumper sticker doesn't come close to (1) going to a Highlander con, (B) entering a costume contest, and (iii) winning.

Now, if he'd been driving the H-wing, you'd have something.

I think the fact that you found each other makes everyone winners...
