White And Nerdy

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!

Photobucket
Head of the Class nerds!

Photobucket
Weird Science nerds!

Photobucket
Duckie the nerd!

Photobucket
16 Candles nerds!

Photobucket
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.

  6. Ms de Vil, your comment actually made me LOL (whether you meant to or not!). "Spreadsheets" and "data" are always funny.

    (And Nerd Day is apparently a pretty new thing, 3 years old or something.)

  10. Darla, yes! That show was fantastic- so of COURSE it got cancelled, right?! Freaky Links was another awesome show involving computer geeks.

  11. Julie~ 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.)

  12. I 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.
    So you go nerdy girl! Power to us!

    (People used to call me Daria when this show was on. lol)
