Ways Geeks Celebrate Christmas

11. Mountain Dew-nog
10. Printing out "One Year of Free Computer Service" certificates to give to the family.
9. Designing elf-killing levels for your favorite FPS.
8. Explaining to children how it would be physically impossible for Santa to deliver all the presents.
7. Wear mistletoe hat and keep fingers crossed.
6. Devise a computer-controlled system to detect and prevent household members from trying to peek into their presents before Christmas.
5. Put a santa hat on your avatar.
4. Change the blue neon lights in the case to flashing red and green.
3. Decorating the tree with SDRAM and CPUs burned out from your last overclocking experiment.
2. Rewriting Christmas carols in Tolkien's Elvish.
1. Programming the christmas lights to flash out "I hate this holiday of unbridled consumerism" in binary.

Thanks BlueDev. I thought #1 was pretty relevant to some recent discussions on JU.

and what, may I ask, is wrong with a good Mt Dew Nog once in awhile?? I'll tell you, I used to donate plasma twice a week, but they finally quit accepting mine because both my plasma and urine samples were such a pure grade of Mt. Dew, it could easily be rebottled!!

As for Geek Christmas, have you ever tried to find Christmas Tree Orniments based on RPGs or fantasy card games???

ParaTed2K, could you post the recipe? I may need to do some taste-testing.

Ummmmmm, no actually. We do however have a closet....read that....closet devoted to nothing but spare computer parts that would more than decorate a Christmas tree or two.
