I play computer games, read, play sports and go out....... .....guess that makes me schizophrenic.

I was also asked that question and I said PC games, wargames etc. And they said I was a nerd but I followed up by adding.....I still manage to get laid at least three times a week (for real) and that shut them up.

"Don't you play sports and go out?"

Man those jock types really have to hold on to their high school days, don't they?

When people call me a nerd I tell em "Yeah, I'm a nerd who rides a harley and loves shooting guns. In fact I own 11 weapons. You got a problem with nerds?". [:D]

Well yeah, he does go out........................................to the computer store that is. I suppose an appropriate wargamer response to whether you play sports or not is "Do you play WAR?

I get paid big bucks just for being the Chief Nerd in my office, I even have my own group of little nerd working under me.

Plus I get to play golf, travel dine out and sometimes even get paid to bring the wife along. I'm glad I went to Nerd School

You blew the answer! Tell the nosey bastards "Doing whatever I want whenever I want
to do it." The "PC" so-and-so's are just looking for a reason to feel superior about being
"lock-stepped" into their own lifestyles..., so don't give them one. To each his own!

I play basketball and soccer religiously, go out, read dense history books, and play computer wargames, and my wife says I'm a "Closet Nerd".

Does that mean I'm just afraid of coming out?

No that means that when the day comes, and it will, when you sustain enough injuries through sports, or some freak closet accident if you will, that you'll be a full-fledged nerd.

A big HURRA for all the nerds and geeks!!! [8|]
