Geek Bonding

I just phoned AT&T to change my address. I ended up in an animated, 45 minute conversation with the customer service guy about comic book movies, Heroes, old cartoons, great casting potentials for future film adaptations, and the like. He was awestruck that I knew about everything he brought up, as all of the women in his life are the "Sex & the City" type and won't even *watch* something like Ironman. It was fun to geek out with someone who was just as excited about geeky stuff as I am (though thankfully I have lots of geek friends, too), and in such an unexpected place. I'm pretty sure I made his day, which also make me feel happy. Geeks Unite : )!

Anyone else run into a cool geek in an unexpected place?

    Not exactly unexpected, but I get my geek fix with the people in my kinship on Lord of the Rings Online. I love it when some random comment leads to a discussion of the same things you and the AT&T guy discussed. Every now and then its fun to throw out a phrase like "300 Spartans" and find that everyone gets it. *sigh*
