Breaking: Nerds Work Out

Redfox — Thu, 27 Mar 2008 11:44:39 EDT

*sigh* It's always depressing to see internecine conflict in the Nerd Community. Brothers and sisters, there is room in Nerdaria for ALL: skinny and buff, shut-in and extrovert, four-eyes and 20/20 vision-havers! Let us stand together and be proud!

My Nerd Activist side aside, I love/hate the bitches with the abs. I love them because hot nerds make me tingle; I hate them because I'm a gay, skinny-fat (think huge belly and regular rest of the body) nerd who couldn't get abs if I tried, so no one will fuck me in a million years!. *sigh* I'm going to go eat some more donuts now.

If they'd cover their faces when their abs are showing, then nobody would know they are nerds.

@SarahMcL: Ha, I had the same experience recently! I watched it on a date (it was the morning after, but we didn't do it I swear, but that's not even the point of this) and I was sorta embarrassed because I said how much I loved the movie, and then we both were totally grossed out after that scene. How about how they install a camera in the women's sorority house so they can film the women naked without their knowledge? And selling the cakes with the girl's naked breasts on the bottom? I guess sexual abuse/harassment was hilarious in the 1980's.

I watched Revenge of the Nerds last night with my roommate... has anyone else watched that movie recently? Wow, I was especially grossed out by the scene where the Alpha Nerd dresses up like Darth Vader to basically date-rape the Alpha Blonde, then when she figures out she's been duped, she is already so overcome by his sexual prowess all she can do is breathe heavily and as "are all nerds as good as you????"

I love* the skinny hipster types who own one dumbell. It's usally something in the 20 pound range and sits all forlorn and lonely in the corner of his bedroom.

*By "love," I mean "it makes me want to laugh my ass off but I refrain because then I won't get to have the sex."

not to mention, do you know how much of a work-out it is to get into Forbidden Planet on a Wednesday and then get on the train, walk up those stairs, walk (again!) to my local bar and then drink beer while reading said comics?

Doree's point isn't that these people are embarrassed about how good they look, but that they are embarrassed that they care about how good they look. There's a difference, and the latter is far more interesting.
