Me talking to Press Association last year:

Me: "We're basically a bunch of nerds who think writing an
encyclopedia is *really cool fun*."
Journalist: "Nerds? You call yourselves *nerds*?"
Me: "I think the charge is undeniable, given we do this for fun."

They didn't use it in the story ;-)

(I forget the story, I think it was Citizendium-related. They were all
going for a 'let's you and him fight' story and I didn't give it to
them.)
