Reflections on "Get a Life"

As a huge computer nerd, video gamer, and general all-around geek, I've heard my share of "Get a life!" from people. You know, the ones who think that exercise and socializing and exposure to daylight somehow make you a real person. Well, fear not, for my fellow geeks have come up with some fine ripostes to this standard put-down.

• "I'll get a life when I determine it's better than the one I already have."


• "Get a life? I'm a gamer, I have unlimited lives!"


• "Get a life? I HAVE a life! It just so happens that escapism is a major part of it!"

So take that, you big meanies!
