You're a nerd when .....

KTRIC

This just dawned on me this morning whilst listening to the radio that I'm such a bloody nerd. The topic was gig's (as in the ones with music) and I got confused because I kept thinking in terms of storage capacity of a harddisk.
So essentially is what I'm saying is .....

You're a nerd when ....

some one says there's a good gig on next week and you think a gig of what ??

nerds a hard time.

That is a very specific age and type of Gnerd.

When you call your mates by their user name instead of their real name.

Zapho

You see a bumper sticker that says "Users are losers" and you don't realise that its refering to drugs!

You find a t-shirt that says "Resistance is futile (if less than 1 ohm)" funny

Clinical Waste

Heh heh!

...when you've said "I like the weird al version better"
(stolen from Lore comics[making me even nerdier])

Peteee

Whenever theres a family get together the only reason people talk to you is because they have a problem with their computer.

You think saying ROFL is an acceptable substitute to actually laughing, because its shorter.

Instead of actually eating a chocolate bar, you say /me eats chocolate

Surely knowing this everyday piece of information isn't nerdish.Why i thought everybody knew that THACO was an acronym for To Hit Armor Class Zero, a term used in AD&D. Basically, it is a number in the 1-20 range that allows a player or DM to quickly determine what number he will need to roll to hit an opponent. The latest edition of D&D does not use this term or the mechanic attached to it, but older versions of the game (and the gamers who play those older versions) will mention it.
Duh

Sleepy

That got a genuine LOL djmarkus...

You see a bumper sticker that says "Users are losers" and you don't realise that its refering to drugs!

I was wondering where I could get one of those until I read the last part of the sentence...

You know you're a nerd when you and a mate get drunk and have a discussion about
which is your favourite binary number.......

Went something like this:

Me: got to love the old 0, it's lovely and round,

guy:yeah, but 1 is thinner, and it tells you what to do...

me: ah yeah, but you know you can just chill out when there's a 0 there..........
