While looking for a word in the Websters dictionary I came across \"geek.\" I think that some of us think of ourselves as geeks, but you just may have to change that thought when you find out that a geek is \"a carnival performer often billed as a wild man whose act usually includes biting the head off a live chicken or snake.\" I\'m sure they\'d let Ozzie into the club for a bat. lol

Here is what encarta say\'s:
geek [ geek ] (plural geeks)
noun
1. somebody awkward: somebody who is considered unattractive and socially awkward ( insult )
2. arts outrageous carnival performer: a carnival performer whose act consists of outrageous feats such as biting the heads off live animals
3. computing obsessive computer user: somebody who enjoys or takes pride in using computers or other technology, often to what others consider an excessive degree ( informal )
[Late 19th century. Origin uncertain: perhaps from, ultimately, Low German gek “fool.”]
geek·y adjective
So I would think that Ozzie would apply under these definitions.

Call Ozzy whatever you like but the guy is still going strong and I love the guy always have, I don\'t think he\'ll ever be anything other than what he is a total entertainer.
He\'s an entertainer all right! lol
Especially with MTV\'s \"The Osbournes\" - I still laugh my ass off every time I remember the show where he tipped his chair backwards too far and fell over. It\'s hilarious because he\'s not trying to be an entertainer - he\'s just being himself.

lol ...
Note: Unlike the word \"nerd,\" which is always pejorative, \"geek\" often carries a positive connotation when used by one of the group. The use of the term by outsiders is considered insulting.
\"If you really need the right answer, check with Bob; he\'s our resident alpha geek.\"
reminds me of a certain group of people ... i think they called themselfs miniature painters
