    and if they're ideas on "where I should shove it" or likewise, please refrain.

    I want to make a shrine to dorkdom built on the theme of some random dude like myself proclaiming himself nerd overlord and actually turning out to somehow be the nerd overlord, though that actually gives him about zero powers except something like a knowing look that generates snorts in nerds or something dumb. maybe just that all of his powers somehow cancel themselves out so that really he's got nuthin but dorky one-liners or rants.

    I think it could be hallarious and occasionally have ideas. Since I store the rest of my brain here I thought I might as well do this too, plus you people are funny and I could use creative input.

    I was thinking of doing a "great moments in nerd history" or something and have a mix of real and spoofed articles. "the first time gates touched a boob" would be a good one. "Al Gore invents the internet" might be good. I dunno. I was just contemplating the thing and thought I'd see what you guys think up.

    How about something outlining the difference between a "Nerd" and a "Dork" so people can judge themselves and see if they qualify for Nerdhood, or if they are forever stuck in Dorkdom?

    Maybe in the form of one of those stupid online quizzes that everyone loves.

    And if you don't for Nerdhood, you access is limited to only certain public areas of the site, and you aren't allowed behind the Velvet Curtains for the good stuff.

    Don't forget geek. There are just too many variations on what the difference between a geek and a nerd is. It'd be really helpful if someone sorted that out.

    Dude, Gates is married. He touches a boob all the time. You're gonna have to look for a bigger nerd.

    I would suggest that your ubernerd powers involve being able to survive for years without exercise or adequate nutrition. This is a valuable nerd skill, or so it would seem...

    I have personally known nerdier nerds than he, although perhaps not as rich.

    I have seen the starvation of the Resident Evil player...
    I have seen the millenial pizza frozen to the counter with age...
    I have seen the wasted years of collectible card games...
    I have watched a generation of college students flunk out of school because they played "Enemy In Sight" instead of going to class....
    I have heard a person say "Dammit! I just finished my collection of white border elder dragon legends and the bastards released them in black border!"

    The world abounds with nerds, my friend, and in its deepest recesses are forgotten nerds who have never seen the light of day...

    You mind if I quote that? Hehe.

    Hmm.. I need to work on the definitions I suppose. I think you're describing dweebs. Nerds are more tech related aren't they?

    Go around and take pictures of your everyday nerd. Profile them and hang it on the site.

    [Perhaps after Nerd, a character in If I Ran the Zoo, by Theodor Seuss Geisel.]
    --------------------------------------------------------------------------------
    nerdy adj.
    Word History: The word nerd, undefined but illustrated, first appeared in 1950 in 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!” (The nerd is a small humanoid creature looking comically angry, like a thin, cross Chester A. Arthur.) Nerd next appears, with a gloss, in the February 10, 1957, issue of the Glasgow, Scotland, Sunday Mail in a regular column entitled “ABC for SQUARES”: “Nerda square, any explanation needed?” Many of the terms defined in this “ABC” are unmistakable Americanisms, such as hep, ick, and jazzy, as is the gloss “square,” the current meaning of nerd. The third appearance of nerd in print is back in the United States in 1970 in Current Slang: “Nurd [sic], someone with objectionable habits or traits.... An uninteresting person, a ‘dud.’” Authorities disagree on whether the two nerdsDr. Seuss's small creature and the teenage slang term in the Glasgow Sunday Mailare the same word. Some experts claim there is no semantic connection and the identity of the words is fortuitous. Others maintain that Dr. Seuss is the true originator of nerd and that the word nerd (“comically unpleasant creature”) was picked up by the five- and six-year-olds of 1950 and passed on to their older siblings, who by 1957, as teenagers, had restricted and specified the meaning to the most comically obnoxious creature of their own class, a “square.”

    Dood, whoever said that doesn't know what the hell they are talking about.
    Black borders come first. Reprints are white border.

    Not to mention whoever said that said it along time ago.
    The EDL's where first printed in june of 94 in legends.
    Chronicles was released in july of 95. THat is when they where reprinted (with the white borders.)
