Geoff:
Look, as a scrawny little (sometimes four-eyed... reading glasses!) 
geek, I intend to form a society for the advancement and support of 
four eyed geeks. The world runs on us rather than on the brawn and 
sex appeal of characters like Brad Pitt or Jude Law or (sorry Laura) 
Orli. Your ratty kid has done more for the WW in fifteen years than 
George Bush for the RW in four.

Consider your wrists smacked.
