Luckily, I met my wife before I became a complete geek.  I can't imagine
going through all the hassles of starting a new relationship at this

I recall a cartoon in, uh, another magazine, in which a guy is
surrounded by beautiful, scantily-clad women, and he looks at his
watch and says "Wait!  Wheel of Fortune is on!"  What a nerd ...
now, if "Robot Wars" was on ...
