    Quite the Nerd Herd on here! I also enjoy "Intellectual Badass" - that's a pretty awesome term.

    My nerdiness can be seen through my nightly devotion to Jeopardy. Trivia is my talent.
    I do understand almost all the jokes on the Big Bang theory.
    I can quote many Monty Python sketches by heart and know almost all of the songs - my husband has been getting Halibut at work (he works for a seafood wholesaler) and every day I ask him if he met Eric the Halibut yet.
    My subscription to Mental Floss is probably my most important magazine subscription. EVER.
    I would much rather spend a night in watching a cool show on the Crystal Cave in Mexico than going out to the bar. BTW - that crystal cave was pretty awesome.
    I have made a TARDIS birthday cake for a friend.

    I can quote the entire movie of "Goonies"
    I am prepared for the Zombie Apocalypse :bigsmile:
    I enjoy reading articles on Astrophysics.
    My "WASD" keys are worn out.

    I LOVE Big Bang Theory.

    I enjoy Aristotle & Plato's work
    I can code an entire website from scratch.
    & I can sit in front of the computer for days straight just to mess around with coding, (html/css/php etc.)

    I 'nerd' professionally.
    I love my boyfriend the most when we discuss research methodologies and study results. We spent the last V Day watching Watson lose.
    My family celebrates "World Nerd Day" - May 25
    My son (9) and I have a family motto.
    My son and I play word games with elements, stars, scientific facts in general.
    My son wrote a blog post about why there is no evidence for God and how his opinion makes him an agnostic humanist. I raised him like that!
    Most of the time, I feel like I am a huge head walking around:)

    I am thrilled to find such a group of kindred nerds here!!!!!!

    I am a huge Star Wars geek and seriously waited in line for 10+ hours when Episode 1 first came out!! -
    Excel spreadsheets make me all warm and fuzzy!
    I still watch Jeopardy for fun and try to beat the people on the tv!
    I can spend hours researching articles and actually enjoy itt!

    I had to add my fave new app on my phone is Vocabology!

    I grew up watching Tom Baker as Dr. Who and I can recite the entire Star Trek Monologue word for word! The original and Next generation. LOL! I love Adam West and hope to meet him at the Mid Ohio Comic Con sometime, since I missed out on getting there last year! Please don't ask me who Adam West is, as that will make me go into in an angry rant! I think comic books are awesome and YES it is still reading, even though they are not 400 page novels, it drives me batty when people say things like that, and I am probably one of the only librarians in the woldl that will tell you that! I play video games and I too own a light saber and I get extremely excited when I find a Captain America or Flash shirt that I can now wear!!! :laugh:

    TALK NERDY TO ME!
    I think I might be more of a geek/nerd/dork groupie than actually nerdy. I feel more comfortable being on the sidelines of a conversation about any of the subjects mentioned in this thread, than a conversation about fashion, sports, or politics. Except I have joined a running group and am starting to geek out over intervals, glycogen stores, recovery, etc! hahaha

    Favorite Nerd Movies: Revenge of the Nerds, Real Genius, Office Space.

    I gave up "TV" 10 years ago, so I don't watch Big Bang Theory; however, from what I have picked up, I'm sure I would love it!

    ROCK ON.

    I was a library aide as my first real job.
  • I fist pump every time Ichigo yells "Bankai!"
    I trust in The Force more than my gps to find my way.
    I named my first rpg character Tiberius after a certain Star Fleet Captain.
    I'm looking for d20 tire valve stem caps, 4d20 ftw!
    My first question I ask my buddy about Spring Break 'How soon can you run your new campaign?'
    I have a running debate on who is funnier between Master Shake and Meatwad.

    Most of all, I love this thread! Failed my saving throw to resist awesome geek stories!

    I spent my eye appointment yesterday talking about the pros and cons of raiding and class/spec choices with my optometrist who had a horde jacket on.

    I also happen to own a Darth Vader spatula and a limited edition light saber.

    I still find science (just about any type) so enthralling and will spend a lot of time reading about it. Still like comic books and old animation too.

    Im not a nerd..im a dork! lol

    nerds are my cousins...haha

    i'm a dork for laughing at this. lol. funny stuff!
  • In addition to the usual "I <3 sci-fi, fantasy, gaming, tech, etc, etc"...

    One of my high school friends and I decided to get up early the morning after our prom to go to a Star Trek convention (for those who love the Trek and are curious, we saw Robert Picardo).

    I decided not to go to my 10-year high school reunion because it conflicted with my gaming session...I felt the time was better spent playing D&D with friends.

    I once hosted a Lord of the Rings marathon...we spent the entire day watching the extended versions of the movies straight through, beginning to end.

    I volunteered to be one of the first to beta test our office's new terminal server so we could get the bugs worked out before the less tech-savvy folks in the office were added to the server. And I enjoyed it.

    Since my pen 'n paper RPG group no longer lives in the same area, we now get together online to play using a combo of Hamachi, Skype (or G+ Hangouts) and rptools. That's right, we're playing old school RPGs on the computer. ;)

    Ive laughed so hard milk came out my nose
    I get travel sick
    All my comics books are individually bagged and boarded with calcium buffered boards and I wait for the TPB to read the six issues
    I watched the original Transformers movie in 1986 and howled like a little girl with all the other kids when Optimus Prime died (Hot Rod you suck)
    My dissertation final paper at uni was on Spider-Man as a post modern hero
    I have asthma

    I almost let my Husband buy me an engineering section ST badge yesterday...

    ....but, I wasn't sure that I wouldn't rather have the science badge, instead. *sigh*


    I drive a Prius, and I can explain how the HSD actually works. Highlight of my life was meeting the chief engineer for Toyota a couple of years ago.

    My husband is also a nerd.

    He just left for the SCA event out in the park with his friends. He will be dressing up in armor and clanging swords around at other fellow nerds. It's like a real life MMO. :laugh:
