TWH Salute to Nerds!
Published Tuesday, August 14, 2007 by Ted | E-mail this post
I salute you nerds. With you aversion to human interactions and overwhelming knowledge of farfetched plot lines. I appreciate your dedication to computers and the games that replace a person’s life.
If it wasn’t for you laptops would be pretty much only for business people and would be vastly over priced, but your demand for playing video games and communicating with your online Ever Qwest brethren on the rare occasion you vacate your desk has driven prices down.
You make my general disinterest in hygiene seem okay in comparison. Many of you also parade around in sweatpants with TV show theme t-shirts on, make me, a jeans and t-shirt fella, seem fashionable.
I understand your enjoyment of the story lines that demand you have an active imagination and bask in the glory of your loose grip on reality. You spend copious amounts of money on nostalgia items that are best described as over priced and under cleaned. William Shatner’s sweat is what dictates how much your money is worth.
I honor you, in part because you scare me, in part because you smell bad, and in part because you have forced the technology of our time to chase you lofty and completely unscientific aspirations of a TV show thereby making my life increasingly better.
I encourage you to take a moment from either you computer game or Zena TV series to stand up out of the chair that has been completely formed to you back and is now 95% Cheetos to wave a hand towards the masses of people who are grateful for what you have contributed to society but wouldn’t be caught dead with you in public.
Well Done!

He forgot it was nerd night.
