Still More People on the Train

Another person who I see periodically on the train platform is The Dork. He is dressed very conservatively, wears his balding hairline slicked back and has a silly walk.

Of course, I never speak with him. I just laugh silently to myself as he walks down the platform to wait for the first car of the train. Sometimes I wonder where he works. Who employs the Dork? Did he answer a classified advertisement for a dork? Maybe he's self-employed? But what does he do? Perhaps he trains people to be dorks? Is there a demand for dorks?

I also wonder if he's married. Is his wife a Dorkette? Do they have any little Dorklings? Maybe he's just dating. Perhaps he has an ad on dorkdate.com? If a Dork marries a non-Dork that could be sacreligious. Their kids would most likely need therapy and/or rehab.

What do Dorks do in their leisure time? Maintain blogs, Marty. Hey, who wrote that? I didn't write that I swear. I think a space alien edited my post. Sorry. I wonder what hobbies dorks have? Stamp collecting, Star Trek conventions, surfing the web 24/7.

And what movies, tv shows do dorks enjoy? Leave It to Beaver marathons? Andy Griffith Show marathons? Revenge of the Nerds all 400 sequels.

I wish I could interview the Dork for a newspaper or an online magazine. Maybe I could even have a tv show where I interview dorks regularly, "Inside the Dork's Studio." I can have plenty of dorks or aspiring dorks sitting in the audience.

Dorks seem to be a group that advertisers are not marketing to properly. I think many dorks do quite well and have lots of disposable income. I haven't done any studies to back this up. I suppose, it's a little hard to call someone and ask them if they are in fact a dork. My guess is few people would admit to it.

Are you a dork? Any help w/b appreciated.
