I love the nerd/geek distinction. So true!

The definitive word on geeks, nerds, and dorks:
http://catandgirl.com/view.php?loc=94

Huh. That's a pretty good one.
The different opinions on the meanings of nerd and geek (and occasionally the related term "dork") has long been a personal fixation for me.

Much as I love Cat and Girl, I take sharp issue with Girl's definiton:
geeks are more left-brained, excelling in technical things like programming or whatever mathy stuff they do.
Nerds (such as myself) are often more linguistically inclined, and seldom of any use to the world at large.
A dork is any socially awkward human, a trait often found in conjunction with geekiness & nerdiness, but not necessarily causal or correlating.

I now side my spectacles up my nose and anticipate wedgies to come.

No wedgies from me, although I'll have to ask to see your special permit.

Alright; it's been a week and I have yet to formulate a reply with a suitable balance of snark and grace. I stand accused of geekery without licence. You are the winner. Damn you, tellumo damn you.

Linguistically inclined equates to nerd? To hell with that. I'm a square, and I'll push anyone who tries to tell me different!

There are other categories, of course. A square is a sober linguist; a nerd is drunk (or, in Charchar's case, fated to alcohol abuse in the manner of a mile-wide mudslide about to bury Talladega's one tourist).

Girl's usually wrong about stuff; she's the set-up character. Cat's the wise one: "A hipster walks into a bar and says this bar's full of hipsters." Or Grrl, of course: "I'll have the patties hearst."

As will we all, Grrl. As will we all.

new shoes! philippe was so excited about new shoes that he stayed up late. i love that otter.

he doesn't even feel the need to elaborate

'new shoes' is clearly enough explanation for why he was up late

The Otter is Five and he has new shoes. No activity must be specified.

I can just picture him typing out a paragraph and then going to do something terrible like throwing an orange at the fridge, then coming back to feverishly write about it before taking off again.

Coke theft? Faucet sprayings? Sounds like Phillipe is getting all hell of SASSY.

Hell of BLEEEEEEEEE!

He's being a Holy Hell actually.

coca cola turns phillipe into a proper home wrecking otter.

Meanwhile, Coke PLUS makes him see the future.

Harry Potter fanfition at his age? I can so empathize.

I love the picture there. The huge eyes, the arms thrown backwards by sheer speed, the expression on Cornelius' face... hell, even the fact that Phillipe must be on stilts there.

Now that I look at it again, perhaps he's jumping while running forward? Like running around the table, bouncing up and down? That might be a better explanation for Connie's drink spillage.

anddddddddddddddddddddd[]\

He stayed up way too late because of NEW SHOES!

Chubby for your avatar.

Priests in Holy Hell wear Hawaiian tourist attire.

and capes

Philippe's prose is approaching quality of the Faulknerian caliber towards the end. Kudos, Philippe.

In this strip:

Phillipe gets all jacked up off caffeine and perform houshold antics!

Otters watch Tree Shrews on Animal Planet?

... What do Tree Shrews watch on Animal Planet?

In Soviet Russia, Tree Shrews watch YOU! On Human Planet!

Cornelius Bear

Old, and eating dinner

Old and Eating Dinner: The Cornelius Bear Story.

"Vol. 7! No. 8!" Leave it to Phillipe to add exclamation points to show how far he's come.

This is my favorite Friday Facts!, it really is. Mostly for the pic of Cornelius eating dinner.

It's clear that he is deeply upset by the sight of naked Phillipe.

It's good that Philippe reminded us that he is old. Otherwise we may have forgotten.

Today's Blogs

Roast Beef: Granite

The pure joy of Philippe baring his ass to Mr. Bear warms my heart endlessly.

The sleeveless outer robe of a priest saying mass is called a "chausable." Friday fun fact!

(Ironically I only learned this through my studies in Satanism)
