I just looked up how much that shits worth. Nothing. I hope the people who were paying hundreds for those things sold quickly

To be honest, at this stage in the game, I think being a Star Wars fan is far more acceptable than collecting baseball cards.
Baseball cards, as far as I know, have gone to shit as an industry. Most people from the past few generations, or males at least, are star wars fans on some level. If you mean die-hard convention types, then yea sure. |

I'm hard pressed to say a single frame of a cartoon constitutes an anime freak.

In high school some kid tried to show me an anime and said it was like the Godfather of animes. I fell asleep.
Personally I hate it, but I got not bones against people who like it. Whatever floats your boat I say. |

It's probably because most cult followings/groups of fans have such overlap into other things. If you're into most of that stuff that falls under the category of nerdom, you probably have a higher probability of meeting friends and having stuff in common/to do.
It's an interesting subculture. |

There was a guy in my dorm who was rumored to be into gay furry porn. If I had to guess what someone who put on a suit and had intercourse with other men in animal suits, it would definitely be him.

There's only a correlation if you make one. I thought of the ninja thing, because anime, well, features ninjas and comes from the same culture. I asked two questions after you made a statement. Easy.

Do people who watch the O'Reilly Factor count as cult fans?

Yes, but not exponentially. I am going to develop a formula for amount of time devoted to the (activity x money spent)(number of nerdy activities). There may be some variables, but this should give you a pretty accurate reading of your Real World Nerdability.

Hmm...the advent of the internet throws my formula off because many nerds would download their anime for free...no money spent.

One time I beat up a nerd and demanded to know where his lunch money was. The last thing he said to me before blood loss caused him to lose consciousness was, "Between my Spellfire cards and my inhaler!"

That's the funny thing about nerds. They all think they're owed something by the creators of the stuff they worship, even though they've gotten a lifetime of entertainment from it.
When something new comes out, they think they deserved more even though they're the ones who aren't paying for it. Prime example would be the people who shape their lives around George Lucas' creations (Star Wars, Indiana Jones), a guy who created the very thing they're in love with. Then they want the guy put to death for not living up to their hype. I think wrestling fans can be the exact same way about Vince McMahon. Last edited by Jeritron; 01-29-2009 at 04:56 PM. |

Back then I used to record my nerd beatings with my Talkboy so I could relive the sounds of fist on doughy flesh over and over, or, if I so chose, in SLOW mode.

Did you also record your voice and change it so that you could reserve fancy hotels in New York as your dad? Credit card? You got it.

I have been on all kinds of wacky adventures with the Talkboy. Including going to Smackdown to see Matt Hardy.

Oh yeah. I told him, then I rewound it in case he didn't catch it the first time.
Parkmania, I've been meaning to ask: does your name pertain to a massive love for parks, and if so, amusement or dog-walking? Or is it a love of having your car safely nestled in your garage for the night, ignition off, with the excitement of getting to pull that brake again tomorrow? |
