Not sure I’m nerdy enough for this crowd, but…
I’m so nerdy I once organized all of my scifi/fantasy collection alphabetically by publisher then alphabetically by author (or anthology editor) within publisher and numerically by series (or chronologically, for shared universe stories) within author. Then alphabetically by title for anything left over.
With a system to determine where a series split between multiple publishers would be shelved.
Pfffft. That’s Revellogram scale. Call back when you build it at 1/12. 
I would love to build Trumpter’s new 1/16 King Tiger, but the price I’m hearing is somewhere around $600… I can buy a metric butt-ton of Dragon’s 1/35 stuff for the same money. And Revell… <shudders in horror>:eek:
So shift to making WWII armored vessel models. 1/35 is a very fine scale for that, indeed. 
I’m so nerdy that…
…I, along with my sister, insisted that our mother name her cat Thrasymachus, after a character in Plato’s Republic.
…I named my older cat Anastasia, and insist that it be pronounced in the proper, Greek manner.
…We named our younger cat Desdemona, accent on the second syllable, after the character in Verdi’s Otello. Not the character in Shakespeare’s Othello; that’s pronounced differently.
…I actually have a periodic table in my wallet, just in case. I am not a chemist or scientist of any stripe.
Cool! I named my little black kitty Persephone because she’s my little Queen of the Underworld (and acts like a right Queen of the Underworld too!). It’s funny how smug a cat can look when one pronounces their name correctly, even if it’s as simple as ‘Cat’.
Yes, I play Warhammer 40k and paint the models.
Let me tell you about my 2000 point Necron army. No? How about the Chaos Marines then?
Of course you can. As any nerd knows you have two options: dump all your points into one or two stats while leaving the rest as low as possible or spread them out so you achieve at least base nerdiness in all abilities. The min/max nerds will always tell you that they’re superior for being focused but there is a significant group that prefers the flexibility of the wider distribution.
I hold with the adaptability doctrine myself, but a nerd who spreads out his efforts can’t really compete in a show off contest one who focuses. I can compete in bredth, but I’ve freely shared many of my nerdiest actions on the SDMB in the past few weeks and repeating them here seems awkward.
Ladies and gentlemen, we have a winner!
(You’re a magistrate, right? Did you issue any orders/opinions in Pirate as well?)
Yes and no, respectively (although yarrr, I was sorely tempted, me lad).
:eek:
i wanted to name my youngest daughter Mary-Anastasia, but the (ex)hub wouldnt hear of it. i went through a whole list of names from mythologies before getting him to agree on one… that, and the nurse said we couldnt leave 'til the baby was named.
I’m so nerdy that…
…I still play second edition AD&D.
…The people I work with call me for computer problems, even though IT is nowhere in my job title.
…My boss gave me a propeller beanie and I proudly display it at work.
…I’m the only one in the office with a computer and a docking station for a laptop, both needed for work.
I’m so nerdy that…
…I’ve cosplayed at an anime con.
…I have a tattoo of the Hylian Shield (Ocarina style)
…I’ve played the Mario Party drinking game.
…When I was a child.
…Using pop.
…I’ve attended a screening of an anime movie in a Canadian theatre.
…I’m part of a group whose motto is ‘We believe in God, we just believe in Nintendo more!’
…I read ‘Game Over’, an industry biography of Nintendo, when I was in 7th Grade.
…and understood and enjoyed it.
…I read and write smutty fanfic.
…my friends say that at least half the time, whatever comes out of my mouth starts with, “well, I read on the Internet that…”
You don’t actually read all the boring, extra stuff! I did a lovely job of editing when I read the series - skipped over all the stupid songs, skimmed over his three page descriptions of every moss-covered rock in the forest, and had a great time reading the books.
HA! Just like Robert Jordan’s bloated epics- gloss over the chapters of description and look for the dialogue.
I know that I’m going to burnt at the stake for these heresies.
What are you wearing?
I don’t normally consider myself very nerdy but the other day the following words came right out of my mouth: “3NF (third normal form) Rocks!” And I meant it.
I guess it’s the latent nerd in me making itself known.
