Dork / Stick Around is a split extended play by American punk rock bands AFI and Loose Change (which featured future AFI guitarist Jade Puget),^[1] released on March 2, 1993, on Key Lime Pie Records and Wilson House Records.

This was AFI's first release, put out within a year of the band's formation, and was limited to around 200 copies.^[1] The cover is a picture of AFI drummer Adam Carson. "NyQuil" was written by then-bassist Vic Chalker, and was re-recorded for the band's first full-length album, Answer That and Stay Fashionable.^[2]

Counterfeits were sold on eBay for at least a year, which prompted former AFI bassist Geoff Kresge to reveal their inauthenticity.^[3] Kresge himself reissued AFI's Dork with an added outtake on September 29, 2017, without the current band's consent.^[4]
