Twinkies--the geek definition.

I've been trying for a while to come up with a good explanation for my usage of twinkie, since in high school it almost always meant "asian outside, white inside". It's possible that its just an inside joke at MIT, but just in case it catches on, I want you to have heard it here first. Here goes...I'm going to keep adding to this as I think of it. I'm not quite sure which one of my friends came up with the name.

Twinkie's are the cream of the crop. MIT kids who think they are normal call the geeks twinkies. Therefore, twinkies are the geeks of the geeks. The weirdos of the weirdos. Oddballs squared. You can identify them by:
1. Perpetual BO from not showering.
2. Tendency to dress like hobbits: no shoes, scraggly hair, cloaks.
3. Tendency when not dressing like hobbits to dress like star wars/star trek/voyager characters.
4. Major awkwardness with the opposite sex.
5. Tendency to spout equations during random social settings. Leads to #4.
6. As Patrick noticed in his CS classes, a tendency to be a know-it-all...even while in a class as a student.
7. Tendency to avoid anything remotely physically active. Potbellys on people in their 20's are usually a good indicator.
8. For a visual aid, look up Peter Jackson. Notice the potbelly and the hirsuteness of said character. Twinkies worship Peter Jackson.

More later.
