Geeks, nerds, or dorks?

Posted on August 12th, 2008

Today’s English lesson: Are the people in this video geeks, nerds, or dorks?

Answer: They are geeks who are not ashamed of appearing dorky, if it will further their nerdy loves.

(Asbestos: I love this video. I think it ought to be shown right next to the Sesame Street song about how a bill becomes law.) [Tags: geeks nerds physics cern ]

    To qualify myself as one of the three, the most popular children’s song about how a bill becomes a law is “I’m Just a Bill”, by Schoolhouse Rock.

    Thanks, Tar.

    Unfortunately, Fox in its infinite wisdom pulled the Simpson’s parody off of YouTube because, well, you know, it would have cost …. um, it would have hurt … um … because Fox has its head up its ass.
