The Geek Hierarchy is fascinating and hilarious. It puts me in mind of something I witnessed last weekend in a comic book store into which I was dragged: a large group of people sitting around a VERY large collection of folding-tables, over which a mind-bogglingly impressive terrain, with houses, trees, soldiers, tanks and whatnot, was set out. I stared at them for at least 15 minutes but couldn't figure out what they were doing, or why it was fun.

At one point, a guy wandered into the shot and one of the "players" called out to him, "Hey, [so-and-so], join us!"

"Oh," the guy said, "but I don't have my forces with me!"

"It's okay, we've got plenty of forces!"

Forces, y'all. Forces.
