How To Tell If You're A Nerd:)

[MediaSlayer]

1) If you find yourself intentionally making typing mistakes when creating a post just to fit in...You might be a nerd.

2) The following is a poem that describes the invention of what would later become what we think of now as the "internet" Just so you know the Tim guy won a nobel prize or something(I forgot his last name) for doing this.Here it is:
In the beginning, Tim created the HyperText Markup Language. The Internet was without form and void, and text was upon the face of the monitor and the Hands of Tim were moving over the face of the keyboard. And Tim said, Let there be links; and there were links. And Tim saw that the links were good; and Tim separated the links from the text. Tim called the links Anchors, and the text He called Other Stuff. And the whole thing together was the first Web Page.
Ok If you both understood all the terminology and you thought it was funny...You might be a nerd.
If you just thought it was funny - you are in danger. REformat your psyche at once - there is still hope
If you didn't think it was anything but lame - You can crash at my house anytime you want and I will burn some cool sh*t to take with you when you leave.(in my world everyone has a computer)

3) If you notice a thread wherein the posters are posting about a very passionate, controversial topic but you find that you're only interested in correcting their grammatical mistakes...You might be nerd.

4) And finally If you tell you're girlfriend she should suck your ^$&^ by "default" ...You might be a nerd.
I'll be signing autographs in the lobby.
Edit: Doing this :) is okay though

Staring, gazing into screens not skies nor eyes nor faces.
Touching keys and fondling mice, searching cyber-spaces.
Once were glued to TV tubes now its our computer.
Smaller, it fits in our lap, its noises are much cuter.
Post offices are obsolete, libraries silent tombs now.
It's our right, get out of sight, go visit other rooms now
Hooked up to the whole wide world theres no need to roam now.
No need to go anywhere, we're not alone at home now.
We all dream of genies at our beck and call
Power, access and control, wishing for it all.
Intellect means diddysquat for hardcore software users.
A chip can check Kasparov, geniuses are losers.
Only an invention, such a useful tool.
There's no time left to teach Shakespeare in the public school.
But homework's fun, work's a snap, love lurks in cyber-spaces.
Staring gazing into screens, not skies nor eyes nor faces.
Not skies nor eyes nor faces.

Does this mean you are a nerd chalice?

or not? :P


soon our fridges will order our food for us.
happy days, im a lazy f*ck.

I suppose I am a nerd.
If that is what it is to scrutinse things beyond their value.
Some of the discussions in movie world are ultranerd stuff.
I can't help it.
I'm sitting here at the minute reading Alan Moore's Top 10 and it has so many cross-references and little nuances that you have to be a nerde to understand it.
Nerd was a word made up by thickos.
Rise brothers, join the Dawn of the Nerds.

I suppose ill put my hands up too.....

but only because i have always loved computers :lol: and muckin about on em

the movieworld thing too..... :D ....i do love my movies

and what does this book give the top 10 of?

[MediaSlayer]

I thought of s'more:
1) If you ever got confused over pie (like you thought a person meant they hate 3.146395799466300708 when they said"I hate pie") ...You might be a nerd.

2) If the people at the computer store know you by name...You might be a nerd.

3) If you find yourself bragging to your friends about your "big hard drive"...You might be a nerd.

4) If you warn people not to "mess anything up" before they use your computer you are anal and also...You might be a nerd.

5) If you've ever talked to your computer...You might be a nerd.

6) If you try to use your computer as a "selling point" while trying to pick up women at the bar...You might be a nerd.

7) If you find yourself unwilling to break up with a sh*tty girlfriend just because her computer is Phat...You might be a nerd.

8) And finally, if you prefer using the computer to sex...You need to be shot like a dog & You are a nerd!

[crazy_billy_bats]

but doesnt the increased rise in use of computers and the internet mean people will talk about them more ?!! :D


altho the hard drive part is true.......... :lol:

[MediaSlayer]

Actually to be serious about it bill it IS becoming cool to know about computers. I mean there is a girl that works at the grocery store near where I live and the next time I see her I'm planning to ask her if she wants me to burn some country cd's for her(I currently live in North Carolina)- which she will probably be thrilled to hear because I think she likes me a little bit. So you see it's getting better everyday. Progress.

Ah the wonders of electric sex....what happens if it crashes/stalls/overheats/gets produced by microsoft though?

Always wondered, there was that kid that got a darwin award (an award you get by killing yourself or removing yourself from the gene pool in a stupid way) who read that he could make a sex toy from attaching a cows heart to a battery...unfortunatly he went for the full effect and plugged his into the mains

What a way to go

[Buffalo]

I think they very clever! Sending info and messages to people all over. there's alot of them and they are needed in this wor.......hang on............ :rolleyes: ...sorry you said 'Nerd'...not 'Node' :lol:

I guess this makes me a nerd, besides, they say nerds make up for their nerdiness in other ways........at least acording to the film where nerds get revenge by getting at the jocks who keep calling them nerds, so the nerds then get revenge on them....I think it was called "the nerds who got back at the jocks" :D :lol:

[crazy_billy_bats]

im still a nerd....

for bumping this other distinctly fishy thread up tha top of da pile...

or maybe that just makes me weird and curious.....

you decide.

this something to do with one of those dyson fingys?

or the fact (maybe) that both you and I, are nerds?
