An Infinite Number of Monkeys

In the interest of fair and balanced reporting, that article was about six inches (including photo of beautiful people) and the entirety of the front page above the fold was a *very* dramatic photo of the bombing of a bridge in Lebanon.

Okay, it was a fuzzy feature. Every paper is Required By Law(TM) to have a fuzzy feature on the front page. I still question the selection of topic. Certainly there is something more interesting going on in the world that fits into six inches.

From:

And, perhaps, less based in fanciful musings and more based on actual evidence--which essentially was my reaction, yeah. (:

From:

I happen to like journalists.

From:

You've never heard of Andy Samberg!?
thelonelyisland.com?
Lazy Sunday (http://www.nbc.com/Video/videos/snl_1432_narnia.shtml)?
And Vince Vaughn's not a geek at all. He's always seemed like a jock to me.

From:

I have heard of Lazy Sunday--something about Narnia and Red Vines. And yeah, VV struck me the same way.

From:

You should watch that Lazy Sunday link.

From:

I tried--the link appears nonfunctional. q: I went to the NBC website and couldn't find it there at all. I'm gonna check thelonelyisland out.

this link?

From:

Bah. Maybe it's just this laptop. I'll try again when I get home. q:

From:

Bah. Nope, two different browsers on two different computers. It just hates me.

From:

just google "lazy sunday" and go to the nbc link I guess..

From:

Yeah, did that before when it didn't work. It's working for you right now, yes? I mean, it's not something where everybody saw it and then it broke?

From:

Yeah, works perfectly fine for me. Is the whole site not loading or maybe you just need flash or something?

From:

I may not have a late enough version of whatever the software is, because the rest of the page loads up just fine, and the player says it's 'Ready'.

From:

Andy Samberg is adorable! I'm in love with him.

From:

So is he a geek?

From:

I would say no. He seems like more of a stoner.

From:

Vince Vaughan is not a geek either.
David Spade is a geek.

"Nerds." "Geeks." Whatever term you use, brainy non-jock guys are totally cute and often have hearts of gold. It's substance over surface. Those stunningly beautiful guys are often stupid or self-absorbed. Give me a cute nerd with a good heart and I'll give you a lifetime of backrubs and unconditional support, (though I've already got my "computer nerd," whom I would not trade for anything.)

The whole wasting news space for this aside, mabye those stunningly beautiful women have finally got a clue.

From:

So you think that some of those actors are actually geeks?

I don't know if I'd say geek, more "nerdy" maybe - but that seemed to be the way the story was presenting things.

Unless I missed the point of the article. I will admit I skimmed it more than really read it.

I'm a total geek slut.
Intelligence is a huge turn-on.
So are glasses and acronyms.

Unfortunately, I always end up being attracted to the High IQ, Low EQ geeks...sigh.

If I could find an emotionally available AND intelligent guy, I'd be set!

From:

So are you still in London?
(And do you think any of those actors are actually geeks?)

From:

no, now I'm in SF ... but it's hard to change an LJ handle so it's just kinda stuck.

And no: actors are not geeks. necessarily. it's possible to overlap.... but unusual. more likely with the Techies. but even then, techies are techies, not necessarily geeks. I have dated about equal number of actors and geeks ... when I'm done being depressed over the big geek who just left me, maybe I'll do the numbers. I like numbers :) and glasses. and acronymys.... sigh.
