I think it was my first post, maybe my second. Someone had asked about how to meet lifestyle people. I said, "Go to a Sci-Fi con."

After several agreements from other geeks someone said, "You could wear your freakiest dungeon outfit and people will ask you to pose with their kids at a con!"

DS, I don't know if you've noticed but a largish portion of the posters on this board are geeks.

I think it was my first post, maybe my second. Someone had asked about how to meet lifestyle people. I said, "Go to a Sci-Fi con."

These are paraphrased because my memory isn't that good, but you get the idea. I actually heard about "Fifty Shades of Grey" on a geek site before here. I'm talking about a site so geeky that sometimes people post in pseudo-code* instead of English.

*For the non-geeks: Pseudo-code is sort of like English written to resemble programming. It's a bit strange at first glance but it is actually far more precise than English. This odd form of communication is due to the fact that English is probably one of the best languages for poetry; it's also entirely unsuitable for precise communication but since most programmers speak English.....pseudo-code.
