From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Dappergeek is the online moniker of Tyler Harris and also the name of an incredibly bad, off colour, distasteful, and very shabby website dappergeek.comalso by him. Tyler is in the United States Army and assigned to the 101st Airborne Division at Ft. Campbell, Ky and is currently deployed in support of Operation Iraqi Freedom where he is a Specialist. Tyler attended the promotion board in Febuary and become eligable for promotion to the rank of Sergeant with a score of 143 / 150 and it now waiting for his points to take effect so he can do nothing and get paid more.

[edit] A Bit More About This Idiot
Tyler is married to what he calls the best woman on the planet. He has been informed a number of times that he may be incorrect on this assesment due to his biased opinion. His response to these claims are, "So what if I'm biased. I'm right." Most people have learned not to argue with Mr. Harris due to his unrelenting belief that he is always correct, except for when he is wrong and his firm belief that this has never happened.
[edit] Recent News
Mr. Harris has recently developed a pretty daunting theory of why he has not "made the cutoff for promotion" involving a conspiracy at the highest levels of the military, and one GS-12 Clerk whose sole duty it is to ensure that the promotion points for his MOS do not drop to the point that he can get promoted. His general feelings of malaise and apathy towards promotion are now well known, and unfortunatly are not so strong that he can "give up" on doing his job to the best of his ability - a trait which frankly is driving him batshit crazy.

[edit] Beer Pong
Tyler is terrible at beer pong, but not as bad as SPC Freeman, and his wife Sarah who were beaten mercilessly the day Bryan and Samantha got married. This was also the same day Bryan and Tyler tried to play horseshoes after drinking copious amounts of beer during said bracketed beer pong tournament post wedding. Tyler only succeeded in throwing the shoes over the fence while Bryan managed to hit his dog, which promptly came over to him and licked his face. There's a reason we don't think she's the brightest dog on the planet, this however is just one small example.
[edit] Mid-Tour Leave From Iraq
While having a great time on Mid-Tour leave, Tyler and his wife Sarah got to see Graceland which was amazing. Also visiting with a family was a highlight, as was drinking large amounts of beer with his cousin Aaron who did not make it home until four A.M. the following day. He is also very thankful for the well wishes and support received from family, friends, and total strangers while on leave.
Tyler also met a very pleasant fellow from Bulgaria named Colin who learned to bowl during his short weeklong visit to the United States, and then proceeded to destroy Tyler in a ten frame game. Tyler blames it on the beer, and Colin was quite polite about completely destroying him. The day before Colin left for home, Tyler and friends visited the Harrah's Entertainment Casino in Earth City, Missouri for a bout of late night drinking after his terrible loss in the aforementioned bowling game. Colin and Tyler spoke of the war in Iraq, where over countless beers and a few too many shots, both agreed amiably that the only thing for us to do now was survive and rebuild Iraq to the best of our abilities. Very impressed with an almost total stranger from a European countries view on the war and opinions of the U.S., Tyler and Colin both departed that evening unsure if their paths would cross again in the future but looked forward to the possibility of meeting later on in their lives.
Also while on leave, Tyler was going to get yet another tattoo to add to his collection but was thwarted by his wife who by not only knowing what tattoo she wanted to get but also by garnering the attention of Omar of All Star Tattoo for her idea, was able to get an appointment while Tyler did not. Upon further thought and reflection, Tyler realized that maybe going back to a hot, dry, sandy country with a fresh tattoo might not be the greatest idea and was not upset in his wife usurping his tattoo slot. Also, she got a pretty sweet tattoo out of the deal.
