i guy at work asked me what my hobbies were. i told him computer games, and reading. he said " you don't play sports or go out"? i said no. then he says "so you're a nerd". well if thats his definition of a nerd them i'm proud to say My Name is John and i'm a NERD...[:D][:D][:D]

yes, you are a nerd just so you know [;)]

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

Still you know the old advert: You're never alone...with "Schizophrenia!!"

No, no and no! You are not a Nerd


You're a geek, A geek is a nerd who is proud of being a nerd[:D]

"Roses are red, violets are blue, I'm a schizophrenic and so am I."

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.

I think i like geek better. my wife as another name for me of course....

now i know i'm a nerd for sure. i've never sat in front of this computer with the 1000 yard stare for 3 hours before...

"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.

Well then I guess I'm a geek too. So what?
I got a wonderful wife (I MEAN it), wonderful kids, a bunch of nerds working for me too like 'Point luck' and I can run 1h and still go out at night ... which I don't because of the wondeful wife and WitP! [:D]

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