I'm a nerd. I am proud to admit it and I fully accept it. Nerds are cool though. We're funny and we keep the world interesting for the non-nerds... and without us, most major scientific discoveries would never happen (or at least no role playing, or in my case board war games would get playtime !:rotfl: )
Nerds rule the world.

Although I've served my country and saw action in combat, in the past, most of my life has been as a complete nerd. People and businesses ... not to mention governments ... cannot long survive without nerds to make things happen.

Did the Arnold Schwarzeneggers and Sly Stallones of the world create M1 Abrams MBTs and B2 bombers, not to mention the electronic wizardry that makes them function? Where would someone like Jesse Ventura be without the nerds who created the minigun he used in Predator, not to mention the techs which are part of every movie?

Presidents, Kings, CEO's, Popes, and Dictators all require the presence of nerds to keep their governments functioning, and equip them with all the latest spy hardware and weapons to make war.

Courageous astronauts blast off into space, but the nerds who made the rockets and man the control panels in Houston get them there.

When the handsome and rugged captain of the High School football team ends up with a beer belly and a bald head by fifty, not to mention his trailer park mansion, the nerds that everyone laughed at ... the ones that started their business in a garage ... live in huge estates and provide computers and software to millions of people across the world.

Nerds rule the world.

I'm so bad that my computers have names. My desktop is "Rogue" and has a picture of X-men's Rogue on it's wallpaper, and my laptop is nammed Laura and has a picture of one of my City of Heroes character's on it. Of course I put in audio files to match their personalities. When I shut down Rogue, it says in a southern drawl "The girls are right ! You ARE a charmer !" and there are other sound files I put in there that make it almost seem like the computers are flirting with me. I did this on purpose simply because....

My wife refers to my computers as my square headed mistresses (or another vulgar word in place of the word "mistresses" )

So.. one day, when she wasn't home, I got ahold of her laptop when she wasn't around... and painstakingly cut and spliced some audio together so it was perfect...

The next time she turned her laptop on... there was a picture of Rogue on her desktop and her computer blurted out in a southern drawl "KEEP YOUR HANDS OFF OF MAH MAN !!!":rotfl:

Yes there was yelling... but there was also a LOT of laughter (from me) :rotfl:

My boss lady doesnt mind it when i play - be it sh3 or ETQW.

In fact, its almost the best of both worlds. The more i play, the more anxious she gets - shes going through a nesting phase atm, gaming is my escape!!!
