- pathy, on 06/28/2009, -8/+453No! DOWN WITH GIFTCARDS.
Why take perfectly good money and turn it in to perfectly ONLY USE IN ONE STORE money.
If you want to give a giftcard to someone, make sure it's a gift card that will read something like 'One Free Blowjob' or 'One Free Bacon and Sausage Breakfest', if it reads '£10 at *****' just give cash instead. Please. *****. - Reziarfg, on 06/28/2009, -1/+408Yeah me too! My girlfriend's name is Rachel.
Sometimes I fill her with helium and she plays hard to get. D= - kd420, on 06/28/2009, -2/+245"Being a geek means possessing and being passionate about knowledge that no one cares about or considers."
Has anyone else ever brought up related information on a topic in conversation (that I probably read on Wikipedia) and just been treated like they just said something retarded? It seems like no one else cares about fun facts, while I spend hours just reading random ***** :( - zKman, on 06/28/2009, -0/+167Yup. For example:
Her: I'm going to Cancun this spring break, I can't wait!
Me: Did you know the Yucatan was an independent nation in the 1840s?
Her: ....
Me: "The More You Know! ....--------======✩"
Her: .... - yoshman, on 06/28/2009, -0/+161You mean like the other day, when I was eating a banana and told my mother that banana plants are sterile and she just shook her head and walked away?
- inactive, on 06/28/2009, -0/+151Just cash please, or if you really want it to be a gift card it better be for newegg.

- kevincupp, on 06/27/2009, -10/+134Forwarding to my girlfriend right now.
- SPNKrPunk, on 06/28/2009, -5/+110GeekGirlDiva didn't do this quite right. The explanations are too long, everything is on one page, and there's no slideshow! That's the number one requirement of lists!
</sarcasm> - tngdragon, on 06/27/2009, -6/+105My husand suffers from "Hurty brain" on a daily basis. One hour of "quiet time" usually prepares him for the geekwife later. ;)
- nerddtvg, on 06/28/2009, -3/+98While I definitely have no problem with your suggested gift cards, if it must be some form of money, I'll take a pre-loaded debit card. That way I can take it anywhere.
- ghatid, on 06/28/2009, -0/+87Dugg for including the star.
- Maynza, on 06/28/2009, -0/+76I totally agree, the only thing worse than not spending the full amount on the card is getting a giftcard for a place I never shop.
- fragMasterFlash, on 06/28/2009, -5/+79Just once I'd like someone to acknowledge my hurty brain recovery needs. Geekgirl Diva, I think I love you. :-)
- kelalo, on 06/28/2009, -0/+69All the time! I have a ridiculous amount of fun factoids that I use when applicable in conversation and no one seems to appreciate them. Like when my brother was complaining about the traffic and I told him about the mathematicians who are working on models to redesign infrastructure so "phantom jams," i.e. traffic jams with no discernible cause (like an accident or exit closing) don't happen. He just got pissed at me.
- XkenX87, on 06/28/2009, -2/+68Cultivated bananas are parthenocarpic, which makes them sterile and unable to produce viable seeds. Lacking seeds, another form of propagation is required. This normally involves removing and transplanting part of the underground stem (called a corm). Usually this is done by carefully removing a sucker (a vertical shoot that develops from the base of the banana pseudostem) with some roots intact. However, small sympodial corms, representing not yet elongated suckers, are easier to transplant and can be left out of the ground for up to 2 weeks; they require minimal care and can be boxed together for shipment.
- opticwind, on 06/28/2009, -1/+64"For reference, let's define what "geek" means, and for that we call upon the words of a college professor: Being a geek means possessing and being passionate about knowledge that no one cares about or considers.
No one. "
I lol'd...then realized it was true. - pingpongboss, on 06/28/2009, -1/+61Holy crap, my eyes.
- DivisibleByZero, on 06/28/2009, -0/+59Nothing worse than the movie double standard. Had so many girlfriends who wanted me to go to assy chick flicks, but then would turn their noses up at any geek movie opportunity. Not sure why either party wanted the other along for either movie though:
chick flick - I'm going to argue about plot holes. That's what I do for movies. That doesn't mean I didn't like it or am belittling your tastes in movies.
nerd flick - I'm going to argue about plot holes. If you can't have a discussion about why a single drop of Red Matter makes the same size black hole as an entire ship full of it, why did you even watch the movie? - yocouchdigga, on 06/28/2009, -0/+44all the time...
: / - Wolfcaster, on 06/28/2009, -0/+42Tell your brother he's a douche.
- Jaliyl, on 06/28/2009, -0/+41I'm not sure what magnolias are but it has STEEL in the title, sounds manly as *****.
- IronDuke83, on 06/28/2009, -0/+37hey that's not right, I have beer and doritos on the desk right now!
- artfiend77, on 06/28/2009, -3/+38Well obviously give him a giftcard for a place where he shops, duh.
- jmhyer51, on 06/28/2009, -1/+36I once got a giftcard for Hollister.
Worst birthday gift ever...
(okay, I sold it on ebay, BUT STILL) - DjBlic, on 06/28/2009, -1/+35Enjoy your hand.
- jisrael, on 06/28/2009, -7/+37Wow... One of these lists actually got it right.
- nitroskanker, on 06/28/2009, -0/+29That website made the Digg comment page look green.
- OneNaturalOne, on 06/28/2009, -1/+29I'm also forwarding to your girlfriend.
- Link459, on 06/28/2009, -14/+42Terrible article. It's like Cosmo, but worse.
- NJank, on 06/28/2009, -3/+31@pathy: The most important thing is to remove the second to last period.
- tunafizzle, on 06/28/2009, -0/+27Have you ever seen cosmo? that ***** is filthy and every other article is: "suprise your man but sticking your finger up his *****".
Such a frightening magazine.... - minnymoo, on 06/28/2009, -3/+29It's funny how so many of my girl friends ask how I get along with guys so easily. They don't take it upon themselves to find common ground...
- Cheesepuffly, on 06/28/2009, -1/+27True, but if they know your a geek, they will get geekish gift cards.
- CapeKid, on 06/28/2009, -0/+23I like to say that I know everything that doesn't need knowing.
- kamdori, on 06/28/2009, -13/+35I'm more or less baffled at the fact she was able to make it sound like pleasing a 'geek' is difficult. We're talking about pale unsocial guys that live off a strict diet of Mountain Dew and Cheetos. I'm sure majority of them would be satisfied enough knowing they landed a girlfriend.
- celerity, on 06/28/2009, -1/+20You're lucky. It took my geeky boyfriend (now husband) 4 years to realize we only went to see his movies. He'd always promise to take me to a movie that only I was interested in, but would "forget" or we'd see a movie we both liked. When I finally mentioned it he felt like a total dick, so it was worthwhile. :)
I have no problem with discussing plot holes, but if all you're going to do is rage about them, shut up. Talk about good points too. I don't want to go out with someone who's just going to bitch about whatever the hell we just spent the last 2 hours doing. And leave the goddamn CG alone. Yes, I can see it that it's bad and underfunded. Suspension of disbelief anyone? If it's that bad of a movie let's just makeout in the back row till we get kicked out. - ttucp, on 06/28/2009, -2/+21What's this "girlfriend" thing I keep hearing about?
- rushiku, on 06/28/2009, -2/+21Ding Ding Ding! You, sir, have correctly answered our question "how can you make sure to never get laid by treating every person with opposing sexual equipment like a prostitute?"
U r teh weiner! - m4csrgh3yk3v, on 06/28/2009, -1/+19No sex in article = written by woman.
- sexybobo, on 06/28/2009, -1/+18I recently got a $10 giftcard for build a bear from some one at my work.
- Kiwwa, on 06/28/2009, -0/+16@haloburn
dot dot dot dot dash dash dash dash dash dash dash dash equals equals equals equals equals equals star - mynameistux, on 06/28/2009, -1/+17RING RING
Hello, this is shenanigans, can I help you? - wastern, on 06/28/2009, -0/+16exactly! Anything I don't have is due to price and its more then anyone will spend for a gift
I have tried several times to get everyone to give me cash so that I could just pool it together and offset the cost of 1 big item I wanted. Not one person did it. I didn't get my big item and now have 20 little nic nac bull ***** things cluttering up my closet that will never get touched.
Even if they didn't get all the money for it, I have no problem throwing in my own cash at the end to get what I really want.
I felt a little bad one year. I think it was 2002, I returned everything my dad got me for christmas and bought a 20GB 2G iPod. I think at the end of the day he was happy it was something I wanted and was using. - haloburn, on 06/28/2009, -0/+15How did you pronounce the shooting star?
- RavagesOfTime, on 06/28/2009, -2/+17And yet, you're right here on digg yourself.
- Urgoz, on 06/28/2009, -0/+15The male geek community isn't sorry...
- godmode, on 06/28/2009, -2/+16purple background + dark room = fffffffffuuuuuu
- firebhaal, on 06/28/2009, -0/+14aha shooting star
- wastern, on 06/28/2009, -0/+13I have a gift card to starbucks I got 18 months ago. I should probably just throw it away.
