I came, I saw, I drank
(okay.. last of the geekdinner posts I promise).
Guess this one should have a geek alert: my boet was laughing at me once again for being pathetically nerdy but I found it amusing (sitting for hours squished in a car roadtripping - if you’re a slighty hyperactive human - can make anything funny*) hence my take on Julius Caesar’s Veni Vidi Vici after a heavy night of Stormhoek through a hungoverhaze**. I discovered that the linux forums had a whole list of them >> go if you’re nerdy ‘nuf
*too heady? for a truly lavatorial antidote: corner Captain Chris at the 27 dinner: & ask him about the bum contoured loo seat & china-cam :’-D no degree or latin needed
**there’s hope Ms Ritz - I swear it gets better everytime, those first few geekdinners are always bad for the reputation: but I was VERY well behaved at this one. However that may not be a good thing ‘cos you know the maxim “Well-behaved women rarely make history“
i guess i wouldn’t be me if i was behaved :)
and the “lady” vibe is so overrated
so here’s to chaos and tarnished reps!!
