Homecoming week means dress-up days, and every few years we do nerd day. This, of course, begs the question whether I should wear anything different, but I usually do. four years or so ago Tom Guilford bought a tie for me that has a can holder, pen holder, ID badge holder and some other holder that I have yet to identify, but that works reasonably well for glasses. To that I added about a half dozen devices clipped to my belt and the obligatory pocket protector complete with slide rule. Lauren also supplied some attitude glasses that hadn’t been worn since college.
Naturally, there were some who were confused about the social outcast hierarchy and who dressed as dorks, dweebs, nerds and Klingons.
It’s like you’ve infected your students. They all look like you. “You will be assimilated… resistance is futile.”
(Does quoting Star Trek make me a nerd?)
Yes; just embrace it.
I’m just glad that when you squatted down for that picture duct tape did not become a necessity…
But just in case, I think he can hold duct tape in his tie!
Your left arm is crazy wicked long to be able to reach all the way around Hanna D. which makes you Gumby, which makes you really cool!
That’s hysterical … thanks for pointing it out!
Drat, now you know my secret power.
Now we know why you’re considered the long arm of the law at your school.

What a lovely assortment of nerds! Try taking the Nerd Test @ Nerdtest.com. “I’m not nerdy, but not hip”. I beg to differ. I’m pretty hip.
I tried to get to nerdtest.com. No luck. I want to know if I’m hip! (I won’t be, but I want to know for sure…)
google: Nerdtest.com
It should be the 1st one that comes up. I’d put a link here, but apparently I’m not nerding enough to figure out how to do that. Calling all nerds: how do you put a linky thing here?

And I’m a low ranking nerd. Definitely a nerd, but on the low end of the nerd totem pole. My score was 61.
Slightly Dorky Non-Nerd, whoops, there was a score to report???? 🙂
I’m afraid to try it!
Oh, and Lloyd is going to blow the top off the nerd test.

Ha, I was slighty dorky nerd queen, maybe we are related.
My score was 59. “Lightly Nerdy” The follow-up commentary said, “Somewhat nerdy. I mean face it, you are nerdier than about half the test takers.”

I’m a high nerd… I don’t believe it! I guess it’s all the Math Club stuff. Geez.
I just wasted precious work time taking that test, only to find I’m an Uber Cool Light-Weight Nerd. I don’t think that’s accurate, though, since most of the easily-accessed nerd things in my house are Lloyd’s.
