Answer me this: How do mismatched socks, suspenders and taped up glasses signify nerd-dom?
I’ll tell you. They don’t. Mismatched socks mark your inability to dress yourself. Suspenders mean your pants are too big or too heavy. Taped up glasses indicate that you’re irresponsible with your stuff.
This morning I donned my prized scribblenaut rooster hat and Gamestop uniform to intensify the nerdiness that I treasure so. Upon entering the building, I must have seen a hundred Steve Urkel wannabees. The guy’s a dork, for crying out loud! And there’s a difference. Trust me.
I’ve walked these halls and seen far too many who don’t understand the true nerd way of life. And to tell you the truth, I’m more of a geek than anything else. But at least I know the difference. I know where the line is drawn. And for those of you who don’t, I’ve made a handy Venn diagram to help you out.
If anything, today should have been Geek Day: Outsmart the Owls. After all, it only makes sense.
