Geek Pride Day!

Today is Geek Pride Day! All geeks of all types should unite and be proud of our geekiness! Are you a geek? Well, you're reading a blog about robots and doodles, so probably. Am I a geek? As the author of this robo-doodle blog, most definitely!

There's even a manifesto (from Wikipedia)!

Our Geeky Rights:

  1. The right to be even geekier.
  2. The right to not leave your house.
  3. The right to not like football or any other sport.
  4. The right to associate with other nerds.
  5. The right to have few friends (or none at all).
  6. The right to have as many geeky friends as you want.
  7. The right to be out of style.
  8. The right to be overweight and near-sighted.
  9. The right to show off your geekiness.
  10. The right to take over the world.
Our Geeky Responsibilities:
  1. Be a geek, no matter what.
  2. Try to be nerdier than anyone else.
  3. If there is a discussion about something geeky, you must give your opinion.
  4. To save and protect all geeky material.
  5. Do everything you can to show off geeky stuff as a "museum of geekiness."
  6. Don't be a generalized geek. You must specialize in something.
  7. Attend every nerdy movie on opening night and buy every geeky book before anyone else.
  8. Wait in line on every opening night. If you can go in costume or at least with a related T-shirt, all the better.
  9. Never throw away anything related to geekdom.
  10. Try to take over the world!
I don't know if I agree with all of that (I can't hoard everything!)... but taking over the world sounds great! XD

Also, in honor of this day, I have doodled a geeky doodle...


...of the Geek Salute (pushing up your glasses! I just made it up)!

So, let us all place a hand over our pocket protectors and give a hearty Geek Salute!
