You may be a geek, you may have geek written all over you; you should
aim to be one geek they'll never forget. Don't aim to be
civilized. Don't hope that straight people will keep you on as some
kind of pet. To hell with them; they put you here. You should fully
realize what society has made of you and take a terrible revenge. Get
weird. Get way weird. Get dangerously weird. Get sophisticatedly,
thoroughly weird and don't do it halfway, put every ounce of
horsepower you have behind it.
