Have you ever had such an extremely nerdy moment that you could feel your nerd cred sky rocketing? Like, you either did or said something that maybe only you or a few really nerdy friends got?

A couple of days ago my girlfriend and I were being stereotypical teens and making out at her house and somehow we made a really weird noise. We laughed about it and she said something like "How did that happen?" So, of course, I said "Science!" and explained to her my experiment. We'd have a short french kiss (control) and then alternate breathing. So she'd breath out and I'd breath in, then we'd both breath out at the same time and then we'd both breath in at the same time. It turns out breathing in at the same time made the weird sound. She made fun for the next couple of days. =P

A less nerdy and less personal moment:

I saw a jacket that said H2 OH! Like H2O, but that wasn't right. I pointed it out and said "That's like, Hydrogen Hydroxide, or whatever, not water!"

Yeah, well I'm so nerdy, I've never even kissed a girl!

*nerd cred goes up to OVER NINE THOUSAAAAAAAAAAND!!!*

lol our school had "The Nerd Club", where on Tuesday afternoons we'd bring in video and computer games and whatnot. (Warcraft 3, Starcraft, DDR, Unreal Tournament, etc.) I used to go for the Super Smash Bros. Melee tournaments.

During the school president elections, when we were allowed to ask the nominees questions, I asked: "Is there going to be better funding for the Nerd Club?" Oh I got all the laughs.

WIN.

I do so many nerdy things I can't even remember them.

My friends always tease me because once, when asked if I would rather have my friends die or my computer die, I hesitated for a while and said "Would I get to back up the files first?"

awesome, joe.

for me, it would depend which friends. even if i DID back everything up, i might be able to lose a minor friend. my computer was a huge investment.

plus it's hawt.

nerd points?

I got in trouble for carving a 20-sided die in wood shop once. that's about all.

I got my whole class to sing the Digimon song.

I <3 my class.

nerd cred...
did I tell you about the time I read the 1987 edition Macintosh Bible on the bus?

I remember I once read a javascript book on the bus. The thing is, it was a field trip bus, where everyone is having fun and laughing and stuff.

people tried to talk to me.
nice, friendly people.
"what are you reading?"
"sorry, i can't tell you."
"Why does that monitor have a disk hole in it?"
"that's the whole computer."
"wow...they're really different."

nowadays...
"wat'cha doing? oops, i pressed the off button! ha! ha! loser!"

Now you see, I've had a similar situation, except it was a dumpster, and no, I did not resist the urge to add a decimal point >.>

that reminded me of a roadworker's sign with TRS stencilled on the back. I saw it and started thinking "I should write -80 behind it!".

Ohhh, *laugh* no, sorry. It was a dumptser by my dorm ^^;;

"nerd cred"??? my heart rate has increased! Talk nerdy to me! hahaha... which reminds me, I was looking through a catalogue once and saw a T-shirt that said "Talk nerdy to me" and had a pair of glasses on it... OMG BEST T-SHIRT EVER, why didn't I order it!???

That's annoying to get picked at while you're trying to read; when I was in grade nine some silly guy would tease me when I was reading a sociology textbook ("Why are you reading an encyclopedia??" hur hur hur) but that's sort of different

You don't get cred for that, since you were only a nerd relative to your company. You actually have to be doing something nerdy to get points. It can't just seem nerdy because of your surroundings. If we didn't set this requirement, people from MIT would never get nerd cred, and, in the right crowd, the president would be able to get nerd cred.

Uhh that's why I said it was different. I was not attempting to increase cred. I was merely noting the it is annoying to be bugged while reading

That's pretty dang hot.

Well, this isn't MY nerd cred moment, but there's apparently a photo in existence of my friend Stephanie sitting on the supports of a roller coaster, reading.

Sitting.

On the supports of a roller coaster.

Reading.

I almost did it in a conversation once.

I went to see 28 Weeks Later with a couple of friends and we tried to find a place that could fit us all. So I turned to my friend and I said "If we defragged the theater we could optimize seating and find a spot for us."
