Tell Me the Truth - Am I a Nerd?

  1. I like Neil Diamond, or at least his old stuff like Holly Holy and Sweet Caroline and one of my all-time favorite songs is Brother Love Travelling Show (God I love that song).

  2. I still watch the Brady Bunch.

  3. One of my favorite movies is The Sound of Music and I even sing along when I watch my video.

  4. I chew my toenails if I can’t find the clippers.

  5. I put ketchup in my macaroni and cheese.

  6. I scrapbook.

  7. When my feet get cold at work I will put socks on under my sandals.

  8. I have panties that have each day of the week sewn in the front. I always make sure they match the day unless I am feeling a little rebelious.
    This is just the tip of the iceberg.

:: VOOOOM ::

That was the sound of my fantasies fleeing the scene before Diane does any more damage to them.

**1. I like Neil Diamond, or at least his old stuff **
Eh, to each his own. I don’t see what’s so nerdy about that.

**2. I still watch the Brady Bunch. **
Chalk that up to nostalgia, not nerdiness.

**3. One of my favorite movies is The Sound of Music and I even sing along when I watch my video. **
I think everybody has something like this. With me, it’s Monty Python and the Holy Grail. I can’t NOT recite the dialogue along with the film.

4. I chew my toenails if I can’t find the clippers.
Not very ladylike, but not necessarily nerdy.

**5. I put ketchup in my macaroni and cheese. **
For God’s sake woman, why? That’s just wrong. On a right-wrong scale of 1-10, where 1 is absolute correctness and 10 is wrong of an unimaginable magnitude, that rates about a 9.85, just behind ordering a steak well-done.

**6. I scrapbook. **
Hey, a hobby’s a hobby.

**7. When my feet get cold at work I will put socks on under my sandals. **
That’s comfort, not nerdiness.

**8. I have panties that have each day of the week sewn in the front. I always make sure they match the day unless I am feeling a little rebelious. **
Not to bad, since you do get rebelious from time-to-time. My question is, do you feel like a rebel when you’re wearing the Friday panties on Wednesday? Do you to let go of the handrail of the escalator and shout the world, “Look at me! I’m wearing Friday’s undies and today’s Wednesday! Bwa-ha-ha-ha! And I’m not holding on to the handrail! I’m a rebel!” Cuz, then, yeah, that’s kinda nerdy.

I was under the impression that you couldn’t be called a nerd if you were able to get laid.
I have no idea how that would apply to your situation.

    As long as there’s a day and not a month sewn there!
    :smiley:

none of those things make you a nerd…

most of them are just practical (though the flexibility of you chewing your toenails is putting a few improper ideas in my mind’s eye <slap> sorry)

no no no… you are not a nerd… nerd is predicated buy either a) writing code (I’m guilty) b) doing theoretical math (I’m guilty) and/or c) solving physics equations just so you know (I’m guilty again)

OH SHIT… I’m a nerd… and I’m proud (yet I’m still athletic, thank god… otherwise I’d probably look like the comic book guy from Simpsons)

You are just eclectic… embrace your differentness… normal is boring…

Oh God, you’re right! I’m not so much a nerd as I am a doof! :eek:

Paul Harvey once said (and I’m paraphrasing here) “You had better learn to like the nerds. One day you’ll work FOR one!”

The Brave, The Proud, The Nerds :slight_smile:

Eeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeewwww ew ew ew ew ew ew ew ew ew ew ew ew ew ew eeeeeeeeeeeewwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwww ew ew ew ew ew ew ew ew ew ew ew ew eeeeeeeeeeewwwwwwwwww

Diane, you are just weird ma’am…chewing your toenails? Ketchup in mac n cheese?

Okay call me a nerd but you’s just weird hunny.

:wink:

< techchick buys Diane some toe nail clippers, not sure what to do about the ketchup in the mac though. >

We all love you anyway Diane.

Unless you putting green ketchup on your macaroni and cheese. Then we’d have to ban you from the board.

9.90- putting mustard on Mac 'n Cheese, a torture I suffered repeatedly growing up at the hands of my “creative” mother.

I wouldn’t say you’re not a nerd, Diane, but chewing your toenails??? That’s just sick. Can’t you smell your feet while your face is down there?

actually being a nerd is higher these days than being a geek
now if your your typing old commodore vic-20 games 10 from a book 10 years after the fact for fun … .youre a geek

If you like digging for out dtated hardware and games for the computer and or consoles you can qualify

If you can recite whole chapters with dice equasions from the first edition ad&d dungeons masters guide … youre a geek
Also if your on everquest and you can remeber the names of your playing guild but not members of your family youre a definate geek

That also applies to any role playing game group online or no

But you caN be a geek or nerd in just sertain things ie computers or math ect

And on the ketchup on mac and cheese I thought I was the only odd ball that did that but only wiht the box stuff ie kraft or the cheap 4 for a buck boxes my mother was fond of

But nice to know im not the only one

And as for the being able to chew off your tonails ? im not going there :slight_smile:

I always wear socks under my sandals.

I listen to bands that first started out in the 1060’s. Can’t stand “new music”.

I hate new TV shows. My favorites are “All In The Family”, “The Jeffersons”, “Alfred Hitchcock” and “I Love Lucy”

I do chew my toenails sometimes.

I have a red shirt that I like wearing on Mondays and a pair of smiley face boxers I will only wear in Fridays.

As for ketchup, Neil Diamond, and The Sound Of Music, I hate all of them.

I can’t stand the Brady Bunch (except Marcia).

That dosen’t make you a nerd.

Like William and the Conquerors? :wink:

The Rolling Stones maybe?og

I have been informed of this equation…

Count the number of computers you have ever owned and then take away the number of boy/girl friends you have ever had. If you have a positive number you are a nerd.

Hell by this I’m a Nerd.

ew ew yuck ick yuck ew ick ick yuck gag ew yuck yuck yuck ick ick gag ew ew gag… you get the idea.

Because chanting church music never gets old.

Diane, you may or may not be a nerd. It’s hard to tell. Wearing socks with sandals is way nerdy, but you do it discreetly, so you get points back for that.

And you’re asking this group of social misfits if you’re a nerd? Like we could objectively tell?

(And that would be “social misfit” in the good way. We’re too cool for the cool kids, so they make us eat lunch at our own table as they quietly envy us.)
-Rue.

Nope. They’re just like my farts - they don’t stink. :wink:

Regarding the macaroni and cheese. It’s the cheap 4 for a $1 stuff, anything else is just crap. Tried the green ketchup and it was just too wrong, however, I do have a new unopened bottle of the purple that I plan on trying the next time I make the stuff. What’s with the “icks”? Have you ever tried it? It is goooooo-oooooood! Sometimes I will even slice up a hotdog, microwave the life out of it until it is a crunchy little blob and add it to the mac and cheese with ketchup.

My recipe book will be available just in time for Christmas. Order now to avoid the rush.

And yes guys, I am single and available!

Please keep the comments coming. You all are making me feel. . . . um. . . . . better?
