    nerdy gift exchange time, message me if you want to gift each other nerdy stuff

    no one trusts me :'(

    I trust you...as much as most people...you "look" harmless!

    But what exactly is a nerdy gift?

    Guess it depends on the type of nerd...I like super gross medical stuff, space stuff, environmental science, sci-fi/horror, rpg, and reading dictionaries.

    What would you gift me?

    If I told you it wouldn't be a secret! But for these things I'll usually do a limit of like 20 bucks, so I'm not sure how cool an item I could buy. I'd probably hit up a science store and browse for something cool.

    Well...truth be told you don't even need to spend money...send me a gory pic, link to an interesting environmental science article, music or book or movie recommendations!

    But as far as gift exchange goes, should I send you some awkward random idea of what I think is cool?
    Or do you have a wish list?

    any of those cool physics toys would be awesome

    I have this. No springs or anything, just magnets set facing opposite poles

    But you can't have it

    When I opened this thread all I saw was the top of the pole. And I am not saying anymore about that since my points don't expire until tomorrow.

    OH come on. I can't be the ONLY person left that doesn't watch GoT? It isn't something I think I'd like but more than that I don't think I want the commitment of a show like that. I've missed just about every popular tv series for that reason!

    I'm a hold out too...
    By in large I think most TV shows today are pretty lame, especially sitcoms... I just think "How I met your mother" or "Everybody loves Raymond", shutter and cringe lol...

    I would give GOT a chance but I barely have time to breathe and sleep these days...

    Although I've gotten pretty heavy into audiobooks, listening to the age of swords right now and dig it...

    Ugh, hated that Raymond show. I got rid of the dvr a few years ago so I tend to forget a show I like is on.

    No one's mentioned extra curricular nerdy.

    I went to a performing arts school and I was in a treble choir that practiced Mondays and Wednesdays 3:30 - 5:00 and I took choral class B)

    I dig it! Although I'm not musically inclined whatsoever I have memorized Mary Had A Little Lamb on the piano

    I can play Mary had a little lamb on a telephone. 6545666555666654566655654

    You're not alone, I have never even seen 2 seconds of it.

    another one that so many people are obsessed with and that I hate is Big Bang Theory

    I loved it until it became an average sitcom about the relationship issues. Still watch it. I feel I need to see it through whatever awful ending they come up with. Will skip the new show about young Sheldon. We know how the character turns out... seems pointless.

    But that's why I don't want to take on more shows since if I like it I'll watch whatever crap they'll eventually throw at me.

    The first couple seasons were decent then it went to pot. Turned into the nerd version of Friends. Don't get me wrong, I loved Friends and set my VCR every Thursday. Then had a group viewing party every Friday but there can only be one Friends.
