333/365 # A cogent paradigm of the geek's first date

When geek woke up from the drunken stupor of the previous evening, he found he'd acquired himself a lady friend, one who was not put off by his love of diagrams of the Starship Enterprise's transporter system's inner wiring.

 

Finally geek had found someone to share his orange squash with. No longer would there just be static at the other end of the line when he played with his Spiderman two-way pocket radio, finally here was someone willing to sit and hold his hand during a tricky game of online Risk.

 

Knowing that he had to make the effort, geek pulled out all the stops. He had a haircut, ironed the turn-ups on his jeans and put on his best geek shirt. The one with no curry stains down the front. No obvious ones anyway. He packed his lunchbox with the most romantic food he could think of (including cheese and chutney sandwiches in the shape of hearts) and set off for his date with destiny.

 

Needless to say, he emptied his lunchbox.

 

Lipstick brushes can be found here.

 

Check out the whole set here - it's the geeky thing to do.
