      As both of those things I’ve met more resistance for my geekery than gayness. Although I have been attacked with a scalpel for the gayness so I suppose that tips the balance somewhat.

      The day I prefer going to a club over a Red Alert 2 LANparty will be the day I know I’ve died.

      Then again, Mark Zuckerberg and Bill Gates were legally able to Marry.

      That said, I think Silver is impressive and thought it was very telling that the right wing thinks calling somebody effeminate is somehow an effective take down of their fact based math.

      @2eo: I haven’t thought about Red Alert in years. What a great game. And amen to the tribulations of geekdom.
