Talking So *cough* are we nerds?

Well we do spend a lot of time online, on a car forum... According to certian people I know, this makes us "nerds". Not to mention all the fighting over "nerdy" issues.

So do we accept our fate or go down fighting?

Go down fighting! Er, well, maybe not. Nerds don't really like fights.

I'm a bonafide nerd anyway, so my excess surfing on this forum doesn't affect my status...

If you can't get it started, I'll swing by and pick you up in my Ford Tempo, in Tiamat Red with 20-sided dice hanging from the mirror. License plate "H1 RLLR".

Don't worry about me.

I keep a yellow Maverick and a '71 Plymouth Valiant, Signet trim level in case the LTD doesn't start.

My nerd score is 48, lightly nerdy.

51% scored higher (more nerdy),
1% scored the same, and
48% scored lower (less nerdy).

Geeks get things done. Nerds, not so much.

Geek - n: a carnival performer often billed as a wild man whose act usually includes biting the head off a live chicken, bat or snake....

Not too many nerds taking that job I guess.

People made fun of computer geeks back in the 70's and 80's. Now those geeks are laughing from the back decks of there 300ft yachts...
