Geek factor totally off the charts

[Tom Wagner]

The word geek is a slang term, noting individuals as "a peculiar or otherwise odd person, especially one who is perceived to be overly obsessed with one or more things including those of tomatoes, potatoes, etc.

Yeah, I put that definition up to support the concepts that many have of me; namely, I am a geek. I even tell people that since it sounds better than saying you are crazy.

Anyway, you may wish to follow this Twitter thing....I had not until today.It has pictures of my potatoes and tomatoes....the the twittering that goes along with it.
