Really?! I must be doing it wrong.
Finally, being a Dork gets you something. Or does it?

Ohhhh. I'm just getting all giddy inside. Usually thats when my wife starts using the coffee table as a barrier as she tries to run away.

I can't find the post count for each status, it's not in the wiki and my googlefu fails me.

Interesting tidbit.
In spite of what you're apt to read on any of over 10,000 Web pages, the word "dork" does not mean (and has never meant) "whale penis." I defy anyone who claims otherwise to show it defined as such in any respectable dictionary, or used as such in any novel or reference work about whales or whaling published in the past three hundred years.
Though its precise origins remain somewhat obscure, etymologists generally agree that dork — usually defined as "a stupid, foolish, or inept person" — has only been in common usage since the 1960s, and is most likely a variant of dick — which is, in fact, a slang term for penis, but not specifically that of a whale.
The Concise New Partridge Dictionary of Slang and Unconventional English (2007) defines it thus:
dork noun 1 the penis US, 1961. 2 a socially inept, unfashionable, harmless person US, 1964. As in every other source I've checked, there is no mention of whales. None.
For good measure, I posed the question to several whale experts — including Professor C. Scott Baker of the OSU Dept. of Fisheries and Wildlife, John Calambokidis, senior research biologist and co-founder of Cascadia Research, Phillip Clapham of the National Marine Mammal Laboratory, and author Richard Ellis (The Book of Whales, Men and Whales, Encyclopedia of the Sea, etc.) — all of whom told me they had never seen nor heard the word dork used to refer to a whale's sexual anatomy. Ever.

That's too bad. When an elderly woman called me a big dick this morning I just assumed she knew I was getting a new sticker for my car.
