Please tell me you didn't just speak to us in Klingon. (I know you did...)

I'm trying to conjugate Japanese verbs here!

[seal_clubber]

Well of course I did. I said "Success!"

If I was home, I would cut-and-paste my Geek Code here, but sadly I am not home yet.

Good luck with the Japanese!

your geek code?

どおも！

[seal_clubber]

All geeks have a coded designator to identify themselves to other geeks. Mine is:

GIT/MC d++@ s: a>? C++++$ UL P+ L E? W++>+++ N o? K- w+ O- M- V? PS+ PE Y+ PGP t+++ 5+++ X++ R+ tv+ b+++ DI++++ D+ G e@* h>+ r-- z+

It is somewhat dated at this point; I picked it up in '94 or so. If you really care to know, you can cut and paste that code into the decoder here, and it will translate it more or less into English for you.

Does どおも mean "Qapla'"? ;-)

I fail at geek. I have never heard of this day before.

[seal_clubber]

Neither had I. A coworker wished my Happy Geek Pride Day, and I immediately hopped onto Wikipedia (thus cementing my geekiness).

I feel somewhat better that you also didn't know. Your co-worker certainly wins at geek though!
