It was said earlier that you are a dork when you act like a dork. With that in mind I answer your question: Yes! when they parade around town off duty doing the "Civie" thing and sporting all/most ofthier garb. They're Dork'n, for sure.
I can understand being proud of where you work and all, but I dont see people walking around pushing a desk in front ofthem with a notebook computer, Palm pilot and printer on it! does this mean they arent, or shouldnt be proud of where they WORK? its a job people, not a lifestyle. Although most turn it into that!

Maybe you consider all of our military, police and firefighters dorks because they all have patches?

Being a former firefighter, I can tell you that while there are exceptions... Most firemen dont consider themselves as people who happen to work for the fire department. They ARE firemen.. its in their blood... their DNA... its who they are and they are proud of it!
And DAMN WELL THEY SHOULD BE!

I just read this whole thread, laughed my butt off at some of the comments, especially from the ones that think people with patches are Dorks,[sm=icon_rofl.gif]my Brothers and I have pretty much been in a lot of states that some of you live in, we have never had anybody walk up and tell us we look like dorks.[sm=icon_sneaky.gif]Gosh, I wonder why that is?
but to tell the truth if one ever did, we would probably all break up laughing at him..[sm=happybounce.gif]

Let them walk up to a Hells Angel and tell them their patches make them look like Dorks,
I know they would not,[sm=bustedsign.gif]

Wearing a patch does not make you a dork. Acting like a dork makes you a dork. I know many Shriner's. I would not call them dorks either.
P.S.
Send me a self addressed stamped envelope and I'll send you an HDForums.com Patch.

No vest, no patches, never will. If I wanted to look like a dork I'd become a Shriner.

a stupid or ridiculous person; jerk; nerd.
2.

In response to the dork comments....if you look up the meaning you will see:
Dork - is a term used to describe someone who has odd interests, and is often silly at times. A dork is also someone who can be themselves and not care what anyone thinks.
