20. Much worse
He's taking longsword fighting classes and making chainmail.

Soon he's going to start learning how to make leather armor! :scared:

21. Ok, that's pretty bad.
If he ever actually gets around to the leather armor making... I don't know what to tell you.

23. That's friggin cool!
Where's he taking the swordfighting classes? I've been thinking of doing something like that. (I don't have the patience for the chainmail making, however)

31. Pfah!!! When he starts building boats come and complain.....
Chainmail and leather armour at least have the hope of leading to exercise on a semi-regular basis.

This could be your living room:

6. Crikes, it's all about the SIZE isn't it, eh?
You'll have to deal with the size of it on your own terms, I suppose.

8. I like dorky
They're much more fun and interesting to talk with than the guys in GQ. My husband's a dork, so's this guy. He's my huge crush. Cute and dorky at the same time!



Sooooo, what's he doing that's working your last nerve?

17. Batboy only matches the above definition....
when he starts snorting ketchup (or is it catsup??) and drools. Other than that, he is well behaved...for a five-year-old.

18. I'm going to have to appeal to the dictionary to change the
definition. That is NOT my idea of a dork!

>a person who is stupid, socially inept, or ridiculous<

Uh, I'm thinking "endearingly goofy, a little shy, makes jokes about himself."

27. If I recall correctly
Vonnegut said a dork originally meant "someone who farts in the bathtub and bites the bubbles". However, I cannot find my copy of "Jailbird" to confirm or deny that. I am not even sure if I have a copy of Jailbird, but I had better, because I gave one away to the college library when I moved.

32. There's a fine line between 'dork' and 'wiz'.
Can he make me a chain-mail gig bag? That would be cool!
