Hey, I was going to post the same strip! Atragon beat me to it.

 

Of course we have come full circle. When I was growing up only the nerds had computers. Now the nerds are the ones *without* computers!

I am cooler then cool. Hotter then hot. I am the disco dancing, nightclub fighting, Saurian Ale drinking stereotype of awesomeness. Am I a nerd???

I don't think I should ask Kroells...

 

 

And yes, I'm a nerd. I've even been called a drama-nerd... now we need to think of hand gesture and all go "Nerd Power!"

 

Okay you know I think I'll shut up now...

I've been called just about every flavor of nerd...band nerd (even though I wasn't in band), computer nerd (now that one is true), etc.

 

I just accept it and go on with life. If that means I get to include Star Trek nerd in the list, so be it.

I'm a nerd in disguise, lol. I like scifi and fantasy and tons of nerdy stuff like that, I was a nerd as a kid for sure. But not now, its nerd on the inside and all coolness on the outside, lol. I play guitar, sing and songwrite, work out, get a decent amount of dates, throw some awesome parties, but I still have to geek out once in awhile. No matter how un-nerdy I get I'll never loose Star Trek, it was the biggest part of my childhood and really played a large role in shaping me into who I am today.

 

By the time I was about 16 I was one of those guys who could go between in group, I could just as easily hang out with the nerds in the computer lab and talk about Star Trek, as I could hang out with the jocks and cheerleaders, or hang out with the punks and goths. That's the way I like having it, I like being able to talk to and hang out with whoever I please because I've learned that every single group has their pros and cons. My main group of friends is an odd assortment, we all grew up together from childhood but developed in different ways, we have a professional musician, a woman who's almost a nun, a punk, a hippy, an anime geek, two jocks, a lawyer, and me who's becoming a teacher. We all get along and are really tight but we're all so different.

 

So what I'm saying is that I think Star Trek attracts people from all different walks of life. I've met really scary biker guys who love Star Trek, and I've met nerdy barely-100lbs pocket protector geeks who like Star Trek, and I've been on dates with blond-haired sterotypically hot women who love Star Trek (which by the way I date women like I hang with people, all different types), and they're all cool in my eyes.

Hey there,

 

I do not classify myself as a "nerd," using the definition attributed to the slang term when it first appeared in 1950 Dr. Seuss's If I Ran the Zoo “And then, just to show them, I'll sail to Ka-Troo And Bring Back an It-Kutch a Preep and a Proo A Nerkle a Nerd and a Seersucker, too!”.

 

However, I do find myself often beliving that I am....what is the term...ah yes...smart. I have even seen breakfast foods designed specifically for people who fall into my category.

Anyone who can speak Rihan is definitely a nerd. It's not the speaking that bothers me so much as the spelling. :P

 

No...we call those people illiterate. ;)
