>Do you all sound like you're trying to recreate Monty Python sketches with full on whiny voiced stiltedness as I imagined?
No. The occasional Morrisism might creep into my everyday speech, but I'm not a reciter.
>Are you all wearing oversized glasses and keeping biros in your pockets?
I don't wear glasses, and I have a fountain pen for all occasions. I am, after all, a writer.
>Do you all proudly wear t-shirts with obscure comedy acts names printed on them?
I have a self-made Blue Jam t-shirt, but apart from that, no. Obscure bands, maybe.
>Am I really headed for this life that lays before me like some dreaded horrible black thing that you don't want to touch because God knows what is underneath-
No, because I very much doubt that many of the people on here are as 'sad' as you appear to think. Certainly none of the ones I've met have been.
>I digressed, erm basically, are all us lot geeks?
Nope.
>And is the comedy fan geek really the stereotype we expect?
No, because I've never actually met a 'comedy geek'. Most comedy fans I know appear to live life to the full.
>(I'm not talking corpses here, because they already fufil every stereotype known to manikins).
No they don't. They are top blokes, and no mistake.
the biros are there for convenience
I am a nude lady.
Having informed opinions on something you enjoy *in itself* does not make you a geek. It's if you're incapable of talking about anything else that you might find yourself duly tagged ( http://www.theonion.com/onion3636/holy_grail_quotes.html ).
>I am a nude lady.
I wish we'd had nude teachers at my school.
I'm Son of Shaggy. As in Scooby's mate, not the Boombastic fellow.
TJ is a nerd...
He's in denial.
>TJ is a nerd...
Actually, I'll retract that incase he goes in the huff. : )
There's a bit in "Going Deaf For A Living" where Steve Lamacq describes how he often daydreams about new records and gigs when he's bored by conversation (or something to that effect). That pretty much sums me up. Plus I apparently like things just cos they're not popular and are "weird". These are the opinions of fellow 22-year-olds. Some people never grow up.
>erm basically, are all us lot geeks?
I can only _really_ speak for myself.
RHC, as the creator of a Mark Lamarr website, I can assure you that I do not fit into the category of geek.
Anyone seen a thermos lying around?
I despair.
And henceforth model myself on Bridget Jones.

No.
This is all very well, and its all very fine, Radey, but it begs the question of what you yourself are like. Im guessing Darlene off "Roseanne". Or mayhaps Julia Sallallallawallawallawallah. Or mebbee even Marmalade Atkins ("Dodgy taste in comedians warning!",sung by Bad Manners)
Other inspired guesses-
Bel-Simon Pegg. Or, if wet, The Son Off "Wait Til Your Father Gets Home"
(The hippy one)
Mogwai-John Ratzenberg. Or if not actually wet, but a bit muggy,Mike Harding.
Butler Of Unruliness-That Bloke Who Was The Fading Rocker Type From That "Six Tribes Of Pop" Article From Last Fridays Guardian. Or, if pissing it down, Robbie Coltrane.
Bent Halo-A strange composite of all three Goodies. With a Jim Thirwell Remix of "Black Pudding Bertha" playing in the bakground.
Stewart Lee- That bloke from Everything But The Girl.
I have shiny scales. And glasses.
I've got a big corporate cock in my mouth and both legs in plaster.

Or is it just the way you walk?
If you can imagine what I look like then you may be breaking the law.
I know what you look like...I think.
Psst - she was the one with the blue coat.
>Psst - she was the one with the blue coat.
It also had fur lining.
Yes. I burnt the coat later though, so you'll never find me now.
>Yes. I burnt the coat later though, so you'll never find me now.
Yes we will, you'll be the one wearing the blazer. :-)
Blue coat? Oh, I'd always imagined RHC in a little red plastic mac, skipping round Venice, driving Donald Sutherland potty.
So that wasn't you, then?
>So that wasn't you, then?
No there was a mix up and I ended up in being possessed by satan. My neck still canes.
