I almost forgot to celebrate the nation's other holiday that happens today~ the day of my people, my homies, my nerdlingtons...Freaks and geeks, lend me your ears, for today is Geek/Nerd Pride Day! Not all nerds wear pants that are too short, taped-up glasses and carry protractors, nay, we've cast off the shackles of dork cliches and come in many forms. Yeah, yeah, we all think about dorks like Urkel or Bill Gates right away, but we're so much more than that. To honor this day of kings, here's a mini homage that I just made up off the top of my head of outcasts and unconventional nerds that helped pave the way for the rest of us:
Cartoon nerd!
Wonder Years nerds!
Head of the Class nerds!
Weird Science nerds!
Duckie the nerd!
16 Candles nerds!
Mork the nerd!
And me, the biggest dork of them all. Seriously. I'm just going incognito in this pic. My pocket protector is in the shop.
And for you hardcore, vintage nerds, here's a vintage 60's tie for you, complete with math equations. It's almost painfully nerdy, isn't it? Geek love!
And for your entertainment this evening, enjoy the best scene of Revenge of the Nerds, the lamest rap and also the best rap of all time, and don't think I'm not going to try to find this song for my ring tone, because I totally am. That's how we dorks roll.

You are in the very rare sub genre of super hot nerds.
ReplyDeleteYou may be a nerd (a fabulous one, that is), but I swear to God you're one of my favorite writers. I've been re-reading and catching up on your blog, and laughing out loud... thank you so much! xoxo
ReplyDeletePS Kitty Planter wants you to know that it misses you.
Haha, happy geek/nerd day!! I love it, I never knew there was a day for us. Well off to reconcile data in spreadsheets how geeky/nerdy is that?? Have a great day!
ReplyDeleteHa! I'm more the garden veriety dork, but thanks for the tuesday mornin' laugh!
ReplyDeleteAww Sparkle, thanks man! You can tell scary kitteh that I may have to visit and bring another evil planter friend for him. Her? He/she?
ReplyDeleteMs de Vil, your comment actually made me LOL (whether you meant to or not!). "Spreadsheets" and "data" are always funny.
ReplyDelete(And Nerd Day is apparently a pretty new thing, 3 years old or something.)
I love Daria SO much.
ReplyDeleteI would be ever so happy if they would do a live action show. Daria rocked.
I miss watching daria everyday after school.
ReplyDeleteAdorable post.
Did you ever watch freaks and geeks that was one of my all time favorite shows.
Adorable dress and sweater you have on.
♥Darla
I loooove that tie! I'm a math nerd - after learning all about clothing and textiles, I went and learned all about math.
ReplyDeleteGirl nerds are cool.
Chantelle
Darla, yes! That show was fantastic- so of COURSE it got cancelled, right?! Freaky Links was another awesome show involving computer geeks.
ReplyDeleteJulie~ word. Daria was one of the few shows that MTV didn't totally fark up. I always wanted Daria and...Jake (? was that his name?) to get together. (And yes, I'm apparently 14.)
ReplyDeleteI just spent a zillion dollars on some seriously nerdy (trendy/ academic) glasses. And you know why? Cos I am a nerd and damned proud of it. I have no qualms whatsoever with people rightly thinking I am very smart.
ReplyDeleteSo you go nerdy girl! Power to us!
(People used to call me Daria when this show was on. lol)
Kimmmmm.....I love your blog so much. The end. And yes, I had some beer, it was a tough day.
ReplyDeleteAng
Thanks Ang! (Hope the morning is treating you better. Oy.) But I do love me some drunken comment posts!
