    When my parents left me alone in the house when is was 13/14, I didn't throw parties or drink or other wild things, I took the pc's apart and tinkered with them...

    nice confession:D

    I'm going to put "the" in front of everything now. Fanastic pic, the Cyber!

    I suppose I'm not a nerd if I have to ask what the definition of a nerd actually is? I imagine it's moved on a bit from sitting at the front of class and wearing glasses held together with a sticky plaster?

    Depends on your definition. We got comic nerds(me), programming nerds, and video-game nerds. What's your nerdy?

    Hmmmm, I don't think I have a nerdy.

    Ooops, I forgot the music nerds.

    Is a rabid progrock fan of The Nice, E.L.P. etc, but who also goes for James Taylor and Pentangle, (whew!) a nerd.
    And why are so few of the previous posters not 'nocturnal'.

    Yes, they are. Really not sure, why so many are not technically 'nocturnal'. Although around, an appreciation for the darkness qualifies you as nocturnal

    'Nocturnal' should be people who are online now or thereabouts.

    As for me: I have ALL studio albums of:
    Yes
    Genesis
    ELP
    The Nice
    Marillion
    Riverside
    I.Q.
    Porcupine Tree
    James Taylor
    Nick Drake
    and about 25 of Tangerine Dream (Impossible to have all of them, I think)

    From the charter:
    Nocs aren't neccesarily Nocturnal, as was declared many moons ago.
    Nocs can be insomniacs, nightshifters,nightowls, etc.
    Nocs can be weird and wonderful beasts,such as werewolves,vampires etc
    Nocs can be RolePlayers,Geeks,Freaks,Goths or simply friendly humans that simply follow the Noc code, or like to hang with the Nocs.

    Me personally, I be a comic nerd.

    WOW! Very impressive! No Squirrel Girl though...


  • Moderators, Science, Health & Environment Moderators, Social & Fun Moderators Posts: 47,784 Mod ✭✭✭✭cyberwolf77


    Doom does not need flavored lips to destroy his enemies.

    Doom does not need flavored lips to destroy his enemies.

    Maybe if he had flavoured lips he'd be able to take on Squirrel Girl.


  • Moderators, Science, Health & Environment Moderators, Social & Fun Moderators Posts: 47,784 Mod ✭✭✭✭cyberwolf77


    What flavor would he have though?
