A Feral Meme
Responded to this one a long, long time ago over at lurkerwithout's place, but failed to perpetuate it at the time. So I've trapped it and will re-release it.
List 5 reasons why you are a nerd. And make them good reasons. Justify them. Explain them. Be loud and proud about how big of a nerd you are! Then pick the 5 biggest nerds you know and have them do the meme.
#1) I've been into desktop computers since Trash Eighties.
#2) PUBLIC TV. (As the UHF stations here are too poopy.) I've even worked the phone banks on pledge drives. Great way to meet fellow nerds.
#3) Nerd Food. Anybody for Ramen? How about Fish Sticks?
#4) Nerd Car. Chevy Prizm, a.k.a. Toyota Corolla wearing a bowtie. Thinking about changing it into a Holden by buying new badges and hubcaps.
#5) Nerd fashion. Dickie slacks with cell phone pockets (which I use for anything other than carrying a cell phone, which I don't have or want), freebie t-shirts from cereal companies, army surplus belt, socks from a discount store, sneakers from the bargain rack at Payless Shoe Source. Don't need glasses but have a fake pair if I really want to nerd out, which isn't so often.
Now, much as I'd like to call out the users who've Friended me recently, I think that anybody who wants to show me some Nerd Cred is free to do so. No need in this case to set a quota or limit.
