Welcome- The quest begins

I'd would like to welcome all people to become citizens of Dork City. I (your mayor) will do everything in my power to preserve our way of life.

Dork is a term of abuse favored by American youngsters, designating the target as quirky, awkward, eccentric, socially inept or simply of lower status. Similar epithets include nerd, geek, and the Australian colloquialism dag, which has the added feature of being seen as affable or amusing.
The term implies stupidity perhaps less often than it formerly did, and paradoxically can imply an unadmirable (bookish, academic) intelligence, much as "nerd" and "geek" do.

Although this the textbook defination of a Dork, I consider it a label of endearment. We are who we are and should be proud of our heritage.

Oh my god... I'm home! This must be what it was like when Huey Lewis found The News.
