Tonight’s Top Topic: Is it cool to be a geek?
 Recent science fiction movies like Star Trek and Wolverine are big hits. Not just teenagers are fans. Fred said many women are fans because of hugh Jackman. Video games, world of warcraft, the Internet all attract large numbers of geeks. Best Buy even has a geek squad that provides computer service.
 A lot of people on the Edge Underground said they were geeks but as Fred pointed out, texting, being bilingual or watching game shows is not geeky.
(The official definition of “Geek”:  an enthusiast or expert especially in a technological field or activity <computer geek>)
 Fred said he is in love with his I-phone and texting. Morgan said “Geek Chic fashion” is in. Vests, big glasses and skinny jeans. Fred calls himself geeky but Morgan points out that he has a Harley and that is not geeky. Morgan then pulled out Fred’s pocket square. Fred was not happy. (Think it was a three point fold and Fred looked like he could not fold it again.)
 Morgan said Hugh Jackman is not geeky with the muscles and his arms and his scruff. (Anyone notice Morgan was drooling?)
 Morgan & Fred think geeks are cool.
(Does that mean I am a geek? I designed this website; work on computer systems; am considered an expert in my field and like to watch science fiction although more Doctor Who than Star Trek. My friends say no because I am an ex-professional musician; work on cars; race cars; refuse to own an I-phone or do text messaging and never chat online.  If not I can still be cool can’t I?)

 If Simon left American Idol Chef Gordon Ramsay would be ready  to take over the judge’s role on the show. (Moving on……)

Paula Abdul is now saying she was never an addict. In a recent issue of Ladies Home Journal, Paula in an interview with the magazine is quoted as saying (as reported on the Edge earlier this week) she was addicted to pain killers. Now Paula is saying it is not true.  “I’ve never been drunk in my life.”  She never said that.

   Morgan thinks Paula made the original statements when she was on the pain killers and now doesn’t remember it. Fred thinks she was drunk when she retracted the statement.
  Morgan recounted when she was at the American Idol finale last year in L.A. and saw Paula presenting gift bags to all the idols. Paula acted like she was on “something.” (Can’t write out Morgan’s Paula impersonation.)

  Queen Elizabeth’s race horse tested positive for a prohibitive substance after a race. Moonlit Path came in sixth. The horse was given tranexamic acid as a treatment against bleeding. Morgan said if it had a bleeding problem what was the horse doing in a race? The trainer is quoted as saying “The substance concerned was administered by my vet entirely in the interests of the horse’s welfare, which is always paramount.”  (Then again as Morgan said what is the horse doing in the race?)

A man at a TGI Fridays in NewYork found part of a snake in his veggies. They did give him his meal for free. Fred “Its protein.” Fred went on to mention when there is something bad in your meal managers always offer you something else to eat. And you don’t want any other food. (I once had plastic wrap in my meal. The chef did not remove all the wrap from the meat before he cooked it. I also was offered something else to eat. YUCK!) The man will not sue.
 The restuarantis investigating. Morgan asked what is there to investigate?

Robbers hit a home in greece. They stole everything including the kitchen sink. Everything including teh whole house! Police think a crane was needed to take away the house. Fred asked how much did it cost to get teh crane? (Probably stole the crane too.)
