Geek Wars

My last ever visit to Borders was not uneventful. I had the pleasure of observing a nerd fight between two employees. Their conversation started off genially enough as they discussed when they were going to buy the new Blu-Ray release of Star Wars. Things began to get heated when one declared that he wasn’t giving George Lucas any money to go on turning Star Wars into “shit.” Apparently this was too much, as everything then devolved into a high-volume shouting match about the quality of Mr. Lucas’ changes, then to whether or not the gentleman denigrating said changes could, in fact, come up with anything creative that the whole world could love in the first place, and finally, to the notion that same gentleman considered himself better than everyone else— the argument against which included a demonstration of how he waddles around (for he was chubby) with his Borders-employee ear piece exclaiming, “Look, I’m sooooo much better than you.”
