Murry played hide the kreplah with a schicsah so Lois shvitzed and called the lawyer and then with the kids and with the house and now Murry is with his mother ... oy a clucktamiel it's all feshtunk.

While the occasional woman likes a geek, us rarer gay geeks tend to not catch the eye of our mostly trendy shallow ilk. While I think my "I failed the turing test" shirt is witty and looks good on me, I'm immediately IDed as straight or laughable in a bar. My appearance is not sub par either. Maybe I should petition AE to start making apparel for my kind.

Well otakon is 3 days ... My lappy is done X and xfce with me being away most the day way before then. If he tries KDE4? I'll have a dedicated page in his Death Note ... written in blood.

"children's cartoon shows"

Granted their intentions are dubious, there's no need to illegitimate a fandom because you don't appreciate it. Anime is marketed for ages up to 35 and covers a wide range of genres not appropriate for children for reasons ranging from violence and sexual content (hentai gore etc) to slow moving plots and novel based stories which children would find boring or would not understand. I doubt that Grave of the Firefly's could be classified as a children's cartoon show, neither could Monster, Mushishi, and the Ghost in the Shell is really marketed at older teens to those in their late 20's.

You may not have even heard of most of these and that is probably because US TV doesn't think they should bother showing anime that is more for an older crowd that can appreciate serious themes. Part of that is because they know that people like you will turn on the tv, see animation, and immediately classify it as a children's show and switch. I'm going to guess that you're either someone in their late 20's or above and that you've only been exposed to things like Naruto, Sailor moon, Pokemon, etc and had an entire childhood of cartoons for kids.

I am not going to ask you to research or explore this beyond your exposure, but I will ask that you please not make an uninformed generalisation about a whole medium based on maybe filtered exposure to one of it's genres. It would also be nice for you not to be a dick.

Now get off my lawn kudasai

I think that their plan is quite ingenious. Hell I'd love to have a paid pass at otakon and hand out install CDs of my favortie distro ... Only ... I use gentoo ... ._. I'd probably have a disgruntled narutard use it like a shruiken at my head after he fdisks away his vista partition at his hotel room.

How are they viewing a show in a foreign language and unable to comprehend an advertisement in that language?

Ahhh yes, the ones that suggest that I (a recent college grad) should apply for DEPARTMENT HEAD OF IT PROJECTS or something asking me for 5 years project management experence over a mid sized team and a protfolio of completed large scale projects.

Well I've done some neat little projects, but I don't think leading a team in a math modeling comp counts and somehow, I think my supermod position on a yaoi slash site doesn't cut the bill for management experience. But after the damn near hundredth message, one actually sent to me by the dept. through monster, I actually put those things in a cover letter and sent it to them. I even called them and got the manager who actually apologized for sending me the requests through monster.

However being asked "What is yaoi slash?" by an HR person is what really made my day

My post looks REALLY out of context without the troll parent ... Guess I should have known better then post in a troll thread.

I had heard that there was a community for gay Linux users, but was disappointed when I saw they all ran ubuntu. It was like going like going to a gay bar and finding out everyone there was "bi-curious" c.c I'm a gentoo boy and I appreciate a man who can compile his own binaries. You'd be over your shoulder checking out my "pasty white" ass too so can it.

Dear Troll: I'm gay, I'm a Linux user, I'm a geek, and I'm Fierce. So get off my lawn bitch!

A few chromosomes were just ... truncated in the reproduction process =D
