NERDS! (c) Ogre

I was reading through the post on supercharges and it hit me: I am not the only nerd/geek on this board! Oh, and don't think for a second that your fancy talk about dynos, mods, fuel mixtures, and air intake is not nerdy! Post something nerdy-

I'll start:
I collect t-shirts with computer jargon jokes that most people don't get, for example:

Me: Make me a sandwich.
You: No.
Me. Sudo-Make me sandwich
You: Mustard or Mayo?

I also collect Michael Jordan Signature sneakers. I currently own 14 out of 22.

I collect coins.
I have 24 complete set of Walking Liberty (all 65 coins in a set from 1916 to 1947) I even have a 1916 D double die, What a find, super rare!
3 complete sets of Mercury Dimes (including 1916 D's)
Then I have 10 complete sets of Franklins including 1 set that is AU/BU
Does that make me a nerd or a geek?

Id say nerd. Geeks are more obsessed.

I have a huge collection of NASCAR diecast. I would venture to guess I have at least 50 of the 1/24 size and about 500 of the 1/64th size. There's also some 1/32 in there too and a couple 1/18. I even have a 1/32 UPS truck that has a Dale Jarrett car that goes in the back of the Big Brown truck. You open the back of the truck and pull down the ramps and the car rolls out.

Does that make me a geek or a nerd? Probably a geek...I'm really obsessed. I've even got Kleenex boxes for the #88 and a box of Corn Flakes & Raisan Bran that's NASCAR too. The list above doesn't include all the miscellaneous stuff like teddy bears, monkeys, slammers, NASCAR Barbie...and about 15 books full of baseball type NASCAR cards.

Yep...I'm definitely a NASCAR geek.

I see the view column is busy...but little reply...hmmm...

I have one word for the HHR community....DENIAL!

I just know there are some trekkies out there...ashamed to speak up

I have another confession. I went to the midnight premier of the last star wars episode (III).
