I SPIT on Weird Al!

[Oeditpus Rex]

In "White and Nerdy," he associates "Monty Python and the Holy Grail" with white nerdiness.

We must say "Ni!" to him.

:grr:

[YellowRubberDuckie]

1. Oh please.

You're only pissed because you know it's true. :evilgrin:
You know you love that song. That is the best ear worm EVER.

3. I accept and even embrace geekdom

But, nerdiness? No way.

[lizziegrace]

2. YOU

just wanted an excuse to use that smilie. :P

[Oeditpus Rex]

4. Nuh-uh!

Seriously — if I were ever to meet the dude, I'd throw him under a camel.

:grr:

[lizziegrace]

6. you are serious

:hug:

Like Lelapin used to say when she was two "it be all right" :hug:

5. My soon-to-be 13 yr old son looooves him. What can I say?

He's big with that age group. :D

[FVZA_Colonel]

7. Not just that age group

On another forum I frequent I've seen a lot of college-agers and twenty-somethings who love him.

[Shine]

10. Well, there you have it, then.

:hi: Good to know...

[YellowRubberDuckie]

8. There are worse artists for your kid to be in to.

[Shine]

9. My sentiments exactly.

:hi:

[LeftyMom]

11. d00d, you can't get omni spit on weird al

That's just mean. :grr:

[Oeditpus Rex]

13. I'll eat some broccoli first

He must be spat upon. Or made to do battle with a harmless little bunny.

12. I have several interests in common with Mr. White n Nerdy

So I guess I should be worried!

Although for some reason, I've always thought that "nerds" can be almost hip in a smart, Seth-Cohen-from-the-OC sort of way... whereas "geekdom" is something you want to avoid at all costs. In other words, nerds and geeks are pretty much the same, except nerds have social skills and geeks don't.

But other people have told me that I have it exactly backwards and it's okay to be a geek but not a nerd.

Now I don't know what to believe :cry:

[Oeditpus Rex]

16. Nerdiness is general

Means you just. don't. quite. fit.

Geekdom, OTOH, is specific; i.e. one can be a Monty Python geek (*points at self*) but be perfectly normal in all other ways.









Not that I'm even remotely normal in other ways, mind you.

[WildEyedLiberal]

17. Ah.

Well by that definition I don't think I'm really a nerd as such, but I am a geek many times over. Not that I'm implying that I am normal in any way, shape, or form. :D

[Okiojira]

18. We need new words for "geek" and "nerd"...

...IMO, no matter how you slice it those words will always have a negative connotation. Therefore, I propose coming up with new, hopefully cooler sounding euphemisms for geek & nerd.

Sorry, I haven't thought of any yet myself...

[Oeditpus Rex]

19. Well, for 'geek'

there's "buff," "devotée," "aficionado," "connoisseur," "habitué," "votary," "enthusiast"...

For "nerd," there's just "dork."

[trof]

14. Weird Al spits right back.

ptuuiii
I just know he would.
;-)

[YankeyMCC]

15. I fart in his gneral direction!

[Bassic]

20. It's more geeky than nerdy.

But it's also nerdy.

I like Star Trek and D&D and Warhammer, and just about everything geeky. I know your pain.

[RevolutionaryActs]

21. Uh, honey it's true.

It's ok, but it's true. :P

[EFerrari]

22. "Ni"?! We must say "Ni"?! What the heck kind of

white nerdy expletive is THAT?

:rofl:

[sendero]

23. He's nailed it..

... and if you can't handle it that's your problem :) Nerd.
