Excellent!

There’s a video (you can find by clicking directly on this video) called “1-900-nerdgirl” which was amusing but, I’m sure you’ll agree, wildly inaccurate.

It’s nice to have that set straight. By a cute red-head.

So say we all!

  1. I was thinking, that we obviously need Nancy to show off all her Star Wars books on camera too. :-P If we’re going to keep the hot nerdy girl, on camera, with a ton of star wars books theme. ;-)

    Her dirty little secret of not really liking the Hitchhikers Guide to the Galaxy book is safe with me tho! (yeah, I know.. total deal breaker!)

    • I didn’t like Hitchhiker’s either. Like Heinlein, it has a slapdash style to it that just doesn’t work for me. I also suspect that it’s something that you need to read as a young adult to really appreciate. I read it a few years ago and just didn’t get what all the fuss was about.

      • I read both as a young adult, and perhaps loved it for its slapdashery. :)

        Since then, I’ve come to fall out of love for Heinlein, though he’ll always have a place in me heart, but I still find myself rather amused with HG.

        I have to say that most british comedy, though, leaves me wanting.

      • I had my mom read HHGG, and she rather enjoyed it.. and she was in her late thirties at that point. So I suspect part of it is just the person as well. *shrugs*

        I’m not sure that Amy really likes it either. :-/

      • I liked both Hitchhikers and Heinlein as well, though I think I fell out of love with HHGG rather than Heinlein. One of the problems that the Guide has is that, much like Monty Python, it’s humor is very tied into the time in which it was made, it’s therefore becoming dated (all the fuss about Sony Walkmen, and Dire Straits for example). I feel fortunate to have read the Hitchhikers trilogy as a teenager in the late 1980s and early 1990s.

        Looking back the 1990s really were the fin de cicle for quite a lot in this world.

        • That may be part of it. I read HHGG just a few years ago and it felt really dated, and not in a good way.

          Also, I’ll admit that I’m just one of those people that don’t connect with certain kinds of humor, though it’s hard to put my finger on exactly what will fall into that blackout category. Humor is so subjective.

  5. Meanwhile, us average girls will continue on, being nerdy, hoping no one will really notice us …

    Actually, what I mean to say is, “What IS hot, anyway?”

    :P

  7. Of course the intrinsic problem with a nerdy 900 service is present in these wide generalities a) nerdy and geeky and h4xor!!1! boys are all types of less apt to employ a phone line as their arousal catalyst of choice; b) most nerdy and geeky and h4xor!!1! girls didn’t learn early on to leverage sexuality as a commodity, so they’re more likely to give that sort of thing away for free…on MMO’s and chat clients… for the (gasp!) fun of it.

    But no doubt, hot nerdy girls exist and they’re blinding you with science. The redhead is, like, blinding me right now. In a totally hetero way.

    • Indeed, the idea of calling a phone sex number was never an attractive one – and yeah, I had my hot nerd-girl chats for free. :D

      I’m totally surrounded by geeky women. As SkennCon attests. And I love it. I love people comfortable enough in themselves to use their imagination in public, to be nerdy if that’s where their passions take them.

      • I think the only time my friends ever called a phone sex number was on a dare – one of them kept making jokes about a supposedly fictional 1-900 number (it had too many digits) and was dared to call it…it turned out that it DID exist and was very fun to mock.

    • And I’m not even THAT hot

      lol…oh the memories you bring back of fannish IRC channels when I was barely legal (and just discovering the community).

      I was part of the right forums, intelligently debated various fannish theories, had my personal photo (I have no curves whatsoever and my face is really nothing to look at, but the dresses I wore definitely had a vampire/rennie thing going) as my user icon…and suddenly every guy 26-50 regardless of marital status and sexuality either wants to adopt me or pick me up.

      I did the MMO thing too…but not in the cyber manner. No…my linkshell would have a daily dose of perversion where we’d all toss out innuendo like there was no tomorrow. Apparently, by the time I got a real life boyfriend again I had a dozen men and women infatuated with me.

      plasmonicgrid said this on March 10, 2008 at 5:19 pm

    • I will answer with nerdcore precision!

      Cruisin’ Mos Espa
      In my Delorean
      War’s over
      I’m a peacetime mandalorian

      My story has stumped
      Star Wars historians
      Deep in debate,
      Buffet plate at Bennigan’s

      Rhyme renegade
      Sure to penetrate
      First and second offense
      I won’t hesitate

      Got a job to do
      And Darth’s the guy that delegates
      Got something against Skywalker
      Someone he really hates

      I don’t give a fuck
      I’m after Solo
      For all I care
      He could be hidin’ at Yoda’s dojo

      Gotta make the money
      Credit’s no good
      When the jawas runin’ shop
      In your neighborhood

      Think you can cook
      I got a grappling hook
      Let’s make this quick
      ‘Cause I’m really booked

      I’m a devious degenerate
      Defender of the devil
      Shut down all the trash compactors
      On the detention level

      chorus
      My backpack’s got jets
      Well I’m Boba the Fett
      Well I bounty hunt for Jabba Hutt
      To finance my ‘Vette

      …

  10. Really, if she wanted to cement her reputation as a nerd, she should have flipped a few appropriate O’Reilly books up there in that segment as well. All she proved was that she was a fan of popular sci-fi.

  16. 47 comments and nobody calls *dibs* yet? Well I here by call it. Not only do I know what Mandalorian armor is (my Bounty Hunter in SWRPG had some) but I would totally kick her ass in a nun chuck fight.

    Seriously, this poor girl must have gotten about 100 marriage proposals by now. Maybe I’ll see her at GenCon.

      Nancy’s comments made the particulars of the armor obvious here, if not on youtube. :)
