How About gNerk (geek, nerd, dork)?
List 5 reasons why you are a dork. And make them good reasons. Justify them. Explain them. Be loud and proud about how big of a dork you are! Then pick the 5 biggest dorks you know and have them do the meme.
1. I like to play with children's toys; like developmental games, magnets, legos, fake cellphones et al. I even like to read Dr. Seuse books from time to time. Hey, it's not recapturing your youth if you never lost it. And who doesn't like to spin around on the merry-go-round (or swing, seesaw, slide, play in the sand), at the park, every now an then?
2. I pick up interesting objects off the ground; especially coins and even pennies that are stuck in tar (mainly just hoping to find one that's more than 50-years-old). I stop and intently study everything that catches my eye and I read every scrap of information on all products (box and all). I count constantly; doing number sequences and/or comparing quantities and finding ratios. This kinda goes with part of #3, but I try to make a mental map of everything. Justifications: ADHD, Asperger's Syndrome (possibly), OCD(?). I'm not retarded; I was born this way. ;)
3. I have particular ways that I walk. Part of the fact that I don't care what people think allows me to do this. Sometimes, I walk only on my toes (it's comfortable). I match my stride with cracks and creases in sidewalks (whether I'm stepping on them or not; not superstitiously). I try to only step on crunchy leaves, when I can find them, and I avoid stepping on critters (no particular reason). Walking barefoot is my favorite, because I can feel the ground and become more familiar with the terrain (Like, what if I go blind or something? {shrug}).
4. I ask some very, off-the-wall questions ("Is the water still wet?" or "Why is the water coming out backwards?") and I might pose philosophical debates that often continue long after I've lost interest and am walking away (and sometimes I am just surrounded by a bunch of dumb looks). I might be in a crowd of people and point at the sun while yelling, "Look, a star!" Atleast half of everyone looks straight into the sun and half of them are saying, "Where?!" I try to replace the word right with left and the word back with front, so that I might say something like, "You be left front and I'll be right back." or "I can't be alright if I'm half left. Wouldn't I really be all middle?"
There are many, many others, but the voices in my head took a vote and it was almost unanimous (536-19 yays win).
5. Plays with fire/hazard to self. I've managed to make 20-foot flames jump out of an outdoor fireplace. If your at a bondfire with me be sure to let me know what you consider to be not trash. I like to see how things burn or whether they will burn at all. I like to tie knots in breadsacks and light them I've jumped a bicycle off of a 6-foot, dirt ramp to slap the cable lines and bend the forks back to the crank when I "landed" (ouch). I like to run (barefoot of course) across the big rocks at the dam as fast I can...or I might simply get tired of society and walk into the wilderness.

Hmm, I don't have enough mutual friends that haven't been listed on someone else's dork list.
