So you guys aren't nerds!!!

[Cecasander]

I'm a nerd, for I don't sport and hate hiphop

I'm not a nerd but the above description doesn't exactly fit me, especially the hip hop part

 

[CivCube]

Your friends say this about us and then proceed to brag about football stats?

 

[Speedo]

Nerds beat people from the "popular crowd" with egos so big they need a Uhaul to carry them around....

Though some nerds do just need to be slapped occaisionally

 

[FredLC]

I refuse such labels. I come home from my holy saturday-evening basketball to play a round of CIV, than after an hour or two go out with my lady and my friends for a beer and music. Now what am I?

I tell you. I'm me. That's it.

 

[Ossric]

i just graduated, i'm currently looking for a job in this bad economic environment. So i have way to much time during the days...

Sharky over here has got a point

The world is not black and white, and stereotypes arent always stereotypical

 

[Yoda Power]

I am not a nerd. All I know about computers are the things I need to know in order to mod civ. Also as some might think im not that much into sci-fi.

Oh and I do sports.

 

[Bozo Erectus]

I was putting you guys on, Im no nerd. Im more like James Bond. The names Pothead, DUMB pothead. Im wearing a tuxedo right now.

 

[Zcylen]

I have a pretty normal life in the real world,

It's less about how you dress and more about how you interact with others. For example, when I do my nerd costume (as illustrated previous page), even though my clothing is nerded out to the max I actually wouldn't fit in the stereotype since it tends to make me the life of the party.

 

[BorgeoisBuffoon]

I'm antisocial, I enjoy computer games and the net way too much for my own good, I read nothing but history books when I'm not online, I stay at home on days off.

But I'm not a nerd.

 

[FearlessLeader2]

Lessee:
I can quote whole Monty Python sketches from memory, I've read 'The Trilogy' about a hundred times, I play Civ, debate evolution, loathe Star Trek AND Star Wars, am a classic rock snob, a natty dresser (polos and jeans mainly), have a moustache and a Fu Manchu, and wear wire-frame glasses. I hate all sports but pro football, and only watch that for the strategic aspects. I love movies, but watch only Smallville, JAG, and The Simpsons on TV.

Am I a nerd?

 

[thestonesfan]

My wife is hot, so I think that in itself keeps me from being a nerd.

Same here. Wait! Am I a Trekkie if I watch Trek, or do I have to convention and stuff to be a Trekkie?

 

[Bozo Erectus]

I used to be a Trekkie (actually, thats TREKKER, not Trekkie, just knowing the correct term in itself confirms my nerd status), but not to the extent that I went to conventions or anything like that.
@Sparrowhawk, Im glad clothes dont matter, because Im a lousy dresser. I only wear clothes because its illegal to walk around naked
@Fearlessleader: No, from your description, youre a Neo-zoom-dweebie. Myself, Im more of a Neo-MAXI-zoom-dweebie. Being a Star Trek fan grants me the maxi status.
@thestonefan, no you arent a nerd. Being married automatically exempts you. The only way you could be a nerd if youre married is off youre a rail thin, short, pencil necked geek with glasses, who's hen pecked by a big fat over bearing broad who regularly wacks you on the back of the head when she catches you reading or day dreaming.

 

[FearlessLeader2]

Breakfast Club was just on WGN again, huh?

 

[thestonesfan]

I am rather hen-pecked, I guess.

But, I would describe myself as 'wiry' as opposed to 'rail thin'.

 

[Superevie]

I'm not a nerd at all. I am intelligent, and I enjoy Civ, but I do so many more things. I don't look like a nerd in the slightest, I barely have acne and I only wear glasses on the computer otherwise I get terrible eye strain. Plus, I know nothing about Star Trek.

Does this look like the face of a nerd to you?

 

[thestonesfan]

You have some nerd-like qualities, but that is healthy.
