What is the Nerdiest Thing About You?

[Concord]

In the 1980s and early 90s, I used to record the NFL draft.


You have to remember that back then, that was thought of by a lot of people as pretty strange or "nerdy."

I would save the vhs tapes and occasionally watch them, especially in February and March the following year to get my draft juices going. I watched them so much that I had some of the dialogue memorized between a very young Mel Kiper, Dr. Z, Paul Maguire, Howard Balzer, etc.

I had several years of draft tapes at one time. Not sure what I have now.

In the early 1990s, I was watching the local news on one of the El Paso affiliates and during the so-called "witty banter" between the anchorwoman and the sports guy, the topic of the NFL draft came up (it was the lead story or something). The anchorwoman told the sports guy, "My husband actually tapes that event ... can you believe that?" and the whole news team had a good laugh.

I realized then that I had a kindred spirit out there somewhere. :laugh2:

I also used to be a total nerd/geek about the JFK assassination. That dates back to around 1980. I've read many books and articles and of course, made the pilgrimmage to Dealy Plaza. I don't have as much interest in that as I used too. The truth will never be known.

Me too.

I still have the 89 Draft with a very young looking Aikman on BETA!

yeah right, no married guy is that fortunate, if they were, I would be out of a job

Sorry to disappoint you. I am that fortunate. I call it being a good enough man to deserve it. You have already called that impossible. I'm not sure whether that means the attitude, the clothes, the highlights, or something else just don't rev the engine right. Maybe you should ask her instead of announcing to the world that you are frustrated? Just a thought.

The fact that I'll be in line at midnight to pick up Madden 10.

That's what I thought, too. Just because he can't get his wife going doesn't mean that nobody else can either.

Women don't hate intimacy. That's a complete stereotype and utterly false.

Your woman isn't giving it up? Look in the mirror, buddy.

I was so hungry a few days ago I looked up pizza

The internet has anything youd want to know in its tubes, and I went to Pizza.com

......disappointing site actually

Someone says something... I run to Google to verify or challenge it.

My brother tries to set me up. He says something... I get that look... then I get up and he says, "there he goes"

:laugh2:

It's called both working long hours at stressful jobs, taking care of a 5 year old etc

then again, Hostile didn't say how often he asks for it. Maybe he only asks twice a month. The implication was that he asks a lot but maybe he doesn't and maybe Faerluna is not asked often.

 

[YosemiteSam]

The fact that my TV consumption consists of sports or Nerd TV. (Science Channel, History Channel, Nat Geo Channel Discovery Channel, or The Military Channel) Other than that I really don't watch any TV at all. (beyond movies of course, but I don't consider those TV per se)

I play D&D and have had my own booth and show at the Texas Renaissance Festival displaying swords knives and fighting styles.

Beat that.

I cannot compete w/ this post or poster.


He shines above all nerds nation wide.


I am proud to know this poster.


Well done Zrin. You make this nerd proud.

I own D&D books, but do not play. I attempted to after 4.0 rules came out, but it just didn't work out. (I will sell the 4.0 books and a boat load of dice to you!) :laugh2:

When my dad was in the military, I knew a guy who made the swords in his garage.

You wouldn't want to put any money where your filthy mouth is would you? Because I'd love to take your money. Name your price.

That is if you have the huevos to actually back up this false bravado. I doubt that given your previous admissions of equipment failure.

 

[Temo]

Seriously this "does Hostile really get it whenever he wants" argument may be the dumbest argument ever on this board.

Ever.

 

[Zaxor]

Strike that. Reverse it.

He speaks big stick and carries softly?!
