A group of four-six 17 year olds, once a week, learn how to fight with latex swords at "Weapons training". They have spent money on crossbows/ latex swords/ chainmail / and shields etc..

The same group of 17 year olds plan to go to a "Live Role Play" in the summer for four days.

In this "Live Role Play" they roleplay as dwarves/swordsman etc.. in a big open field with woods and lots of empty space with some other people who are also roleplaying. They camp out during these four days and don't get much sleep because other people roleplaying come and hit them with their latex swords. Everyone looks ridiculous in their chainmail with their latex swords and just hit people. One person will be prancing around "healing" people who have been hit with latex swords and are lying on the floor counting to 30, pretending to be dead.

Then at the end, all the ridiculous looking people in chainmail with latex swords meet and hit each other with latex swords. Oh and fire crossbows at each other.

So is that geeky or not? I thought it was, but apparently according to them it isn't. After all they apparently during these four days get "very" drunk.

I'm not that sad. I just talk about pixies.

Don't give up your day job mate. Do you really think those mongs are employed ? Who the hell would take someone on after looking at their C.V and finding out that they are King GeekThor of Dripping on weekends ??

This is the funniest and most downright bizarre post I had read in a week!
Seriously, if I saw people doing that I would stand at the side and shout out ''NERDS!'' then run of giggling.

Or even better, I would tell them I am the wallet inspector (Snake in Simpsons) and as they naturally have no contact with the real world they would oblige....I could make a living out of this...
