Not true Valier!

I wouldn't generalize the whole of Canada to be dorky or geeky because they like LOTR. I would assume that there are alot of 'ordinary' people that like LOTR just as much as we do and don't consider themselves to be dorks. However, not all of them would find a site such as BD and obsess everyday over it like we do....I think we would fall in the geeky category for sure

The only one that applies to me (though slightly) would be computer geek. I'm not really into computers, just online killing.

Actually, none of the people I know who like LoTR really fall into any of those categories. The thing is, people I know are completely obsessed with LoTR (ie. annual Gathering of the Fellowship, dressing up, watching all three back-to-back-to-back, etc.) but none of them are nerds or geeks in any way. A love of fantacy doesn't necessarily place you in that catagory, though very often it does.
