-We don’t claim to be peculiar, odd, overly intellectual, lacking in social skills, hermits, hackers, or neophiliacs. We don’t call everyone “n00bs” or “pwn” people on a daily basis. We’ve never watched Beauty &amp; The Geek or Beat The Geeks when they were on television, though we did enjoy Freaks &amp; Geeks. Who didn’t?
