Just ran across this Nerd Handbook (for those of you who are companioned to a nerd) and I think it's quite brilliant. I have this Canukistani friend who aught to read this -- she knows damned well most of the info but there might be some novel strategies proposed.
Enjoy your special friends' friends,
Bp

Coke cans

one of those coke cans was probably mine leftover from a D&D session, right? >.<
As I sat in my Cave reading this on my Computer, I felt like I was hit in the face when he said "level your Night Elf to 70."
It's like when you look at the cards for the Illuminati card game and you laugh at the UFO Guys and the Phone Freaks and the Republicans and the next card is Democrats, and you say, "Hey, that's me!"
I had a feeling this post might strike a few chords LOL.
Bentley, thank you for the excellent illustration -- that's so what he's talking about.
Nerds, just like games, have levels. Our friend Bently, for example, is till several levels below a level 4,294,967,295 (that's (2**32)-1 for the non-nerds out there) nerd. The problem? He drinks Coke. Trun nerds need more caffeine with their sugar water, and drink Mountain Dew.
I have a friend who has a son who is well on his way to being a nerd genius. When the sone was 11 years old, he would hole up in his cave for many;many hours playing online games. One day his mother started cleaning his room. When she went to empty the wastebasket, she found under the boy's desk, full of urine. When asked to explain, he said that he was in the middle of a game and just didn't want to interrupt it to get up and go to the bathroom.
Now, that's a seriously caved-up nerd for you.
I HATE HATE HATE HATE HATE not being able to edit my comments!!!!!!!
ah, we Canucks have a reason for choosing coke. Our mountain dew contains no caffeine....completely different formula from yours, and therefore useless ;)
I forgot about that.... the weirdest thing!
No wonder the Canuckistani are such a laid back people...
