I decided to put this in the form of those, and I mean it now, GOD-Awful "You Might Be a Redneck" jokes. Why I decided this, I'll never know, maybe the eighth level of Hell opened up and its commander, Jeff Foxworthy, took over my soul for awhile. (Good to be back by the way, I guess baptizing myself by reading a book perhaps helped). :p. Anyway, this isn't really suppose to be "funny" as it is to be frank about my life as a nerd. (Getting to talk about this on the Superbowl thread spawned this, so I don't mean to hijack that by any means, I just want to share what was on my mind at the time, :).) If anything its to reminisce about how fun it can be sometimes, to take some joy and poke fun at it is all. I hope you find some humor in this as well because all of it is true with either one of my friends or myself. And if you too are a nerd, or even if your not, your in good company. Nerds are good people. Anyway, here it is my friends, enjoy:
If you bought a role-playing dice on the day Sir Gary Gygax died, and you believe that this dice grants you better role-playing roles in game... you might be a nerd.
To follow up, if you forgot to buy a role-playing dice on the day Sir Dave Arneson died, and this you believe this is a curse upon your game... you might be a nerd.
If you believe in such things as "blessing dice," and you make the sacred pilgrimage to GenCon to have the "Lords and Creators" of your games "baptize" them for you... you might be a nerd.
When you play Magic the Gathering, and you own all of "The Power Nine" in your deck, (with copies), or better yet, you know what this is... you might be a nerd.
If your idea of a "party" implies that you will be doing some form of calculation down the road... you might be a nerd.
If you know by heart all the words to every Monty Python routine, verbatum... you might be a nerd.
If you know what I mean by the player types of Timmy, Johnny, and Spike... you might be a nerd.
If you schedule a routine around going to your local comic book shop to go "tournaments"... you might be a nerd.
If, in the course of the day with your friends, you decide to talk about philosophy, (The Myth of the Cave), mathematics, (String Theory), or perhaps this proceeds to a discussion on the economy, (Market, Command, and Traditional)... you might be a nerd.
One last one, if you just fought worym deamons yesterday...and you believe it... you might be a nerd.
