I am often heard saying that reading a comic book in itself does not make one a dork. Unfortunately if you are seen with a comic book in your hand, ‘dork’ is the exact label you will be given by the general public. Before abandoning your hobby, check yourself against this list. If any of the scenarios below describe you, then you are a definitely a dork and have no chance at getting either a girl, respect, admiration or normal friends. You should throw away all of your comic books, or better yet, send them to me.
- If you had the chance to date a supermodel but it meant burning your comic books in a cerimonial fire and never looking back, you would weep bitterly at the impossibility of such an act and bury your nose in the latest X-Men graphic novel.
- You think personal hygiene is for dorks.
- You first met most, if not all of your friends at a comic book shop.
- You wear costumes to comic book conventions.
- You have a hard time deciding whom you would rather date: Jean Grey, Mary Jane or Catwoman.
- When relating your past ‘adventures’, it becomes evident to the listener that you are actually describing Role Playing Game scenarios from your last gaming session.
- You believe that wearing black from head to toe makes you one or all of the following:
- Attractive.
- Cool.
- Instyle.
- Approachable.
- Thinner.
- You regularly participate in collectable card tournaments… and you’re 35 years old.
- You enjoyed watching Electra.
- Your priorities, in order are:
- Comic books
- Collectable cards
- Movies with comic book themes
- Cartoons with comic book themes
- Money
- Food
- Sleep
- Girls
In case the podcasts didn't clue you in, Bill (my intrepid "co-host") is a huge dork. He knows a lot about comic books, hero clicks, RPGs and dork stuff in general.
He won a Star Wars card competition for crying out loud... and if that's not bad enough, he traveled 6.5…
I have had an extremely hard time coming across comic books as of late. As far as I know, only two stores carry them in my area: a comic books shop, and a gaming shop.
I distinctly remember being a kid and walking in to just about any given grocery store,…
Dork: (def)1. the jewish word for the male vessel 2. one who invents dork self check tests.
also: one who gets offended because the list applies and attempts to slam it’s creator.

Do people really run around the internet with a dictionary in hand waiting to give people the root origins of words or is ‘Darth Ape’ just extra queer? - why don’t you give me the history of that word “queer” I’m sure you’re well aquainted with it.
Such hate, Vulcore!
Darth Ape: keep commenting! Any and all comments are much appreciated.
Even Vulcore’s vile insults!

I think all that fits Darth Ape pretty well
Does anyone understand what i’m trying to do here? 724V15 - you are much more pathetic than Darth Ape could ever even dream to be - at least his comment wasn’t beating a dead horse - the joke has already been made, now maybe we can get on with our lives - besides, you typed way too much info. for it to ever be funny.
lol, that was kinda the whole point, and i copied and pasted all that crap
god get a life Vulcore, all you can do is bash and bash, no telling how many people you’ve got to commit suicide. I know the thought crossed my mind when i first read you’re comments
