The Thought Process of Nerds

Blogged under Work is where the nerds are. on Tuesday 30 December 2008 at 8:30 am

I work with nerds.  I always have.  I’m sort of a nerd groupie.

Yesterday at lunch my nerds were discussing really boring things like phones and PHP.  In an attempt to change the subject I asked, “So, how about them sports?”

They looked at me in disgust knowing full well I was going to require a conversation about sports.  WHICH I KNOW NOTHING ABOUT, but I felt like having normal boy talk may be fun.

We talked about college bowl games, which The Kid informed us are a really big deal–something about a lot of money, and mountain west recognition. YAWN.

Things quickly took a turn for the worse when we started discussing bowl sponsorship. Nerds can turn anything back into phone talk. I braced myself for a boredom overload by finding entertainment in eating my sugar-free pudding cup in four whole bites.

To recap:

Football—->bowl games—->Tostito Fiesta Bowl—->sponsors—->DAMN PHONES

Every time you share me I won't punch a kitten!

    I will teach you everything you need to know about football: the Utes and Chargers are the best teams in college and the NFL, respectively. You’re welcome.

    Phone talk, how lame… on the other hand iPhone talk, that would be awesome!

    Jesus buys Apple.

    The only thing you need to know about the Fiesta Bowl is that Ohio State owns it. ‘Nuff said.

    Oh man, you opened up that can of worms by saying the sports word. Bah! It is interesting how men talk about the most boring things, isn’t it?

    At least you don’t live with one. And I don’t even live with the good kind (knows stuff about technological things). I live with the kinds that plays Final Fantasy VI on the computer and WWE Wrestle Mania on the Play Station. And then asks me how to hook up the VCR.
