Fun You know you're a nerd when...

When you begin to explain to your work colleagues what the difference is between a £10 Darth Vader action figure and £200 Darth Vader action figure

 

Every year when you proctoring the SAT or giving your spring final exam to your AP US History students, this music and scene from Real Genius plays in your head throughout it:



Every. Single. Year.

 

Somebody at Better Homes and Gardens is a Doctor Who fan. I entered one of their daily contests as the code word to prove you are not a robot was 'chin boy.'

 

When you work in an organization with so many engineers and architects, and they look at you as the #1 nerd without any doubt...

 

When you succeed in mostly convincing your friends that Aiden Eherenrich is probably going to be okay as Han Solo, by comparing it to Zachary Quinto playing Spock in the NuTrek (aka JJ-verse, aka Kelvinverse) Star Trek movies.

 

Sorry for the double post, but.....

You know you're a need when you go into this thread for the first image in months, and not only post something, but also end up reading the entire thread again, even though it's way late and why are you even on the internet right now anyway.....again.

 

...you let someone use your back to sign paperwork and you think, "Here, here, here, use my back, victim."

 

...you are getting money from the ATM and notice the ATM Network label and think, "Why can't I have Shazam?!"

 

Or you think that Star card should be named Stark or Star Lord

And...you think that's awfully meta that there is a Meta and a MetaBank on that list too

 

You will never use awkard again from now on it's

 

...your schedule for the day is:

1. Go to Barnes & Noble to order a fantasy book written by a JCCer.
2. Go to Bookstock specifically to the scifi table.
3. Go see Avengers Infinity War
4. Come back home and hit the web to talk about it.

 

...everyone else is excited about cinco de mayo and I'm over here giddy about Free Comic Book Day.

 

Funny how I am typing this on Star Wars day, but if one is excited about Cinco De Mayo and Free Comic Book Day, even better. I have to skip FCBD this year (which is a shame because the Marvel and Image freebies sound very interesting.)

Enjoy it.

 

Same, to both of you. I told my colleagues "May the Fourth be with you!" and some scoffed and said "I prefer Cinco de Mayo."
Bully for them
I have to skip FCBD too Master_Lok, can you get anyone to snag some of the freebies for you?

 

when no one understand your happiness about harry potter.

...you buy yellow gloves for work and think:

 

Midtown Comics may have some extras next week, otherwise, no. Sorry you have to miss it too.

Enjoy your Fourth and happy Cinco.

 

You geek out over Benedict Cumberbatch's goofing on the Cloak of Levitation in an interview, the IW screenwriters mentioning Fraiser as an influence on Stephen and Tony's disdain for each other.

And when Rick Baker does this for Star Wars day.

Finally, you laugh at your mom who takes one look at your Celtic Frost shirt and declares, "That's really ugly..." Then she pauses before saying, "Oh. That's the point isn't it?"
Yes, mom.

 

I don’t know, I think that that’s a pretty good attempt at Alec Guinness cosplay.

 

As did Rick, which is another reason why I still am such a big fan. I think he nailed it for a fast ‘out of the kit’ attempt.

 

Have a collection of Ahsoka Items, and re watch the star wars marathon with TCW and Rebels included

 

You wear a Star Trek T-shirt to a restaurant and your waitress says “live long and prosper.”

 

On May 4th, your students write down names like "_____ Skywalker" and "General ______ Windu"
I was out on Friday, and those were wonderful surprises to come back to when grading the work I left for them.

 

Hopefully you did’t have to fail the kid who wrote “Yoda.”

 

Nope, just those who did nothing
