Outing Justin
As much as Justin sometimes tries to deny his geekhood, this recent conversation truly proves that he belongs among the pantheon of nerds that I've assembled for Newmoanyeah.

nmyJustin:		i'm bored, say something entertaining
nmyStephen:		baboons ate my nipples.
nmyJustin:		hmm, i give it a 5.5
nmyStephen:		baboons ate your nipples.
nmyJustin:		4.5
nmyStephen:		I believe that there was an article in Time predicting that there would be stripper pole competitions on ESPN within 5 years.

nmyJustin:		speaking of which...
nmyJustin:		newmoanyeah is gettig filthier and filthier.
nmyJustin:		i felt dirty reading this weeks lead story
nmyStephen:		Really?
nmyStephen:		We're almost out of sex toy reviews. But I do see your point. I think we're running at two extremes... extremely filthy and extremely geeky.
nmyJustin:		an interesting combo, granted
nmyJustin:		Quake bert intrigues me
nmyJustin:		I actually have a fully functioning Atari 2600 set up at my grandmother's house
nmyStephen:		You bastard, I keep looking for one to buy.
nmyStephen:		With paddles and Warlords.
nmyJustin:		can't help you there, but i do have Defender
nmyJustin:		Popeye
nmyJustin:		Soccer
nmyJustin:		Invadrers... or something like that
nmyJustin:		I lost Galaga and Spiderman, which were two of my favorites, i suspect my grandmother is stealing them
nmyStephen:		Spider-Man is the other game I'd have to have.
nmyJustin:		did you ever play it, it was SO good
nmyJustin:		every board ended with the green goblin... over... and over...and over again
nmyJustin:		Oh, I know what you would like, I have Empire Strikes Back for Atari 2600
nmyJustin:		crazy game
nmyStephen:		Oh! I the snow speeder and the AT-ATs?
nmyStephen:		With the, rather.
nmyJustin:		yup
nmyJustin:		really really hard
nmyStephen:		good stuff... I'd probably also want Pitfall.
nmyJustin:		Got that too!
nmyJustin:		and q-bert
nmyStephen:		Quake-bert REALLY would be an interesting concept.
nmyJustin:		i've never played quake, is that like a Doom?
nmyStephen:		yeah.
nmyStephen:		Same people.
nmyStephen:		More violent, better graphics.
nmyJustin:		i was thinking a first-person Pac Man would be awesome
nmyJustin:		Maybe a Pitfall/California Games combo...
nmyStephen:		California?
nmyJustin:		"California Games" - it was a short-lived game that combined a bunch of sports in one, like those olympics games. It had things like surfing, track, hackey-sack. Try jumping on the crocodiile's heads while keeping that little sack aloft
nmyStephen:		OH YEAH!!!

Ending on an exuberant note.
While the conversation did meander on for a bit, I decided to cut the feature short as we already get a splendid view of Justin's inner-geek by this point. To quote Yoda (approximately): "Seeing Justin geeky brings warm feelings to my heart."

And for the record, I loved Winter Games.
