Nerdiest thing you've ever done
Hmmm…I top every previous nerdy moment I have on a daily basis. It usually involves zombies, or my uncanny ability rcall the theme song of EVERY 80's cartoon.
Yes, even that one.
Though, in recent times, I would have to say it was getting reeeeaaaaaaalllyyyyyy drunk, and having my roommate find me on the livingroom floor, wearing my Snake Eyes mask, watching Transformers the Movie, and my old motorized Tripticon was walking around with the dog chasing it. She looked at her friends, then at me and said, "…and this is James…"
I'm told I ordered them to transform and roll out…then passed out.
Please, ladies…try to control yourselves, I know that's one sexy story…
I'd have to say that the nerdiest thin that I've ever done is singing the song 'Let's build a snowman!' from Cannibal! The musical (best movie ever!)
At the top of my lungs…
While doing the dance moves and everything…
In public…
Multiple times. Pretty much every opportunity that I could get, now that I think about it…
It drove my friends insane…
thinking and somtimes talking in internet lingo. like brb lol stfu so on and so forth
also trying to get athletic people to understand how i can play video games 40 houres at a time thugh maby that ones just more so stupid than nerdly.
I did the first one for a speech class speech just to irritate the teacher. The second one is required of me daily as I seem to be one of those guys who everyone just HAS to talk to. >(
The nerdiest thing I think I've ever done though would have to be trying to get people motivated for "Talk like a pirate day" (September 19 I think, right?) There's worse I'm sure. It'll come to me in time…
(Does doing a comic about a subforum count?)
Every time someone asks me what my hobbies are, or anything about me, for that matter. I always end up mention comics- and God forbid they know anything about comics, because the n I'll start talking about them.
I don't ever go over the top, but I guess a person could tell what I wanna do for the rest of my life. :-3
Starting a blog about programming… http://e-pds.blogspot.com/
I bought the fifth season of Red Dwarf, and nearly exploded with glee when I discovered that it came with Red Dwarf trading cards. I'm going to wear an 'H' on my forehead this Halloween (to represent the almighty Rimmer.)
I get excited to an extreme level when I make some amazing discovery of a hard-to-find film at a CD exchange or half-price books and movie store. I found the entire Blackadder Collection for 10 bucks once, that really made my day. And it was all on dvd!
I have a dvd aficionado account, and with 312 movies on the li…I know I've still got at least 50 I haven't added yet.
I am in the process of ordering several John Pirro films, I will basically read anything that contains at least one reference to Ash, I'm still miserable that I can't find a copy of 'Love Bites' with Adam Ant that will work on American VCR's (I've been searching for about 5 years.)
I cosplay, and that's pretty nerdy.
I get frustrated at my role-play characters when they do stupid things (simply because they seem to make their own choices.)
I nearly went into convulsions when I bought the 'box set of the first Saiyuki season' and discovered that it was only the box, a Saiyuki t-shirt, and the first dvd. But I didn't take it back for a refund, I kept it all and wear the shirt at least once every 2 weeks.
I know the lyrics to Dragostae Din Tae (aka the 'numa numa' song) and will sing along whenever I hear it.
I didn't really like Cedric, and half the time forgot he was a character in the book…but when I first read Harry Potter 4, I cried and ran downstairs to tell my mom when he was done in.
Only people who do or used to hang out at Avidgamers.com would get this, but I remember the Snail Thread. I posted once in it on page 2!
trip in fornt of thousands of people
That's nerdy? Sounds more embarrasing moment than nerdy. Sides, I do that all the time. Once I tried ta do a high kick and ended up landing on my butt somehow…in front of a Tae Kwon Do teacher, too. Still haven't figured that one out yet.
hmmm…the nerdiest thing i've ever done….i think that might be….
Let's see, i have a large arrangement of "friends" everything from band geeks, nerds, goths, hippies, funny guys, and jackasses. One of my biggest nerd friends loves architecture and engnineering, everything from castles to spaceships. Apparently, right now, NASA is accepting designs for new space shuttles to be developed, and my friend (who happens to be 16) jumps on it. He comes up with a quite detailed and expansive space ship design, with an odd resemblance to a Destroyer from Star Wars. Anyway, one day me and several of my went out to a mexican resturaunt for lunch. It was their that my friend showed me the plans for his spaceship, and started to explain the different mechanics of it. He started talking about how he would some magnetic field to activate the nuclear powered engines and he, as much as 16 year old without a high school diploma can, really thought it'd work.
But, something didn't click right here. Within his plan, and his thought process for me the whole thing wasn't adding up. So me, another one of my nerd friends, and my other friend began to argue about the designs of the ship. We tried to explain to him how the magnetic field couldn't possibly generate enough power to activate this ship. Plus, i explained, that if NASA ever did build this ship America's economy would go down the hole (in theory, the ship was supposed to be 2 football fields long, and would have to be constructed in space). And this went on for a good 30 min. until one of my jackass friends started listening in, and finally he cut my friend off by saying in a stereotypical nerd voice "Hey, you wanna know who's really cool, Captain Spok!"
My two friends silently scowled at him, and suddenly i had my nerdiest moment ever. I responded, "Wait…Spok wasn't captain."
My jackass friend turned to me and said, "Dammit Michael, I thought there was hope for you."
here are so many things to choose from, so I'll pick one from my teen years and one from here recently. When the first Batman movie came out, my buddy and I decked out in Batman gear and camped out in front of the movie theater (the only one in our little town of 1500) 12 hours early to make sure we got tickets. For the first 11 hours and 45 minutes we were the only people in line.
Recently at work ( I work surrounded by old school nerds in an undisclosed location) one of our group mentioned that he was considering changing his house over from bulbs to LED's. This prompted a passionate discussion with hastily sketched diagrams about how hard it would be to take a regular light bulb casing and convert it to hold an LED filament (and yes, I know they don't technically have filaments, thank you very much). Before long we had constructed, on paper, an entire circuit to that effect.
I also constantly explain obscure comic book references to my long-suffering wife. ("Honey, one of the addresses on the police scanner in Spiderman 3 was the address of the old Marvel building!
