Who sits atop the nerd hierarchy? (2 Viewers)

That drummer chick is flat.

You should see her butt pimples.

You will notice how high up on Pasty's chart that Heinlein fans are. That's me and Taurus, among others.

Of course, I consider myself to be a multi-geek...Azimov...Bradbury...Star Trek...Star Wars...Babylon 5...Battlestar Galactica (old and new)...Tolkien (I read the books over a decade before the movies came out)...

It started with "The Twilight Zone" and "The Outer Limits" when I was a kid and just kinda snowballed from there.

Asimov isn't geeky. Asimov is truth

In my time, Asimov was a dreamer and a visionary.

Sagan was truth.

I dunno. Seems football forum geeks rule.

LAMBDA LAMBDA LAMBDA and OMEGA MOO.

Not the MOO's they're a bunch of pigs.

RA you only burn your wizards sleeve if you don't use the advanced spirit cocoon spell followed by the dragons tear balm DUH!!!!


I am a Heinlein fan as well. Nerd alert.

Let's see here. . . I am a D&D Dork, a Star Wars Freak, a Comic Book Geek, a Video Game Goober, an Anime Wackjob, an Alternate History Afficianado, and a Tolkien fan. . . and even I find LARPers creepy.

They're mostly the same. Maybe Star Trek people don't like Star Wars or something like that, but most nerds in school were into at least three of the above.

I voted Trekkies, but good point on the multiples.

Do I get negative nerd points if I don't know what Heinlein is?

Sounds like a balance I owe on a Holland beer.

It simply means that old school Sci-Fi officiantos will view you with scorn and derision, granting your opinions the same weight as that given to Joe Theismann's broadcast booth brilliance.

Heinlein? You may never have read his works, but every Sci-Fi TV show and movie since the 1960s have "borrowed" his themes and plot lines.

Then I guess you get my points.

I voted Jonsey because you have to be very nerdy to post this poll.

ps - what's nerdy about Star Wars?

Like the ancient sun god, your points have brilliantly illuminated my mind for a half-score years here.
