What's the Nerdiest Thing You've Ever Done?

[Jezzy54]

Self-explanatory. Mine's a doozy: I've learned all the known oaths of the various corps from the Green Lantern comics, including that of the solo golden age Green Lantern and the Indigo Tribe, the latter of which currently exists only in the form of a strange new alien language no-one understands. Feel free to laugh right now. In my own defense, I drew the line at learning the Alpha Lantern oath because the Alpha Lanterns were jerks. So what about you guys? Chances are yours isn't as bad as mine, if that's any consolation.

Smoked pot for the time ever and then played dungeons and dragons for the first time ever,
I WAS NOT PROUD OF MYSELF

Interrupted a math teacher on my probabilities test to ask what type of dice was he talking about in one of the problems. Then proceeded to show him my collection of glow in the dark dice that I keep with me, complete with closing hands around them to show that they do, in fact, glow.

I passed that exam with flying colours though.

 

[MrShowerHead]

Got A+ from an English test. 3 times. In a row.

I was quite amazed...

Tried applying Fallout conversation mechanics to shops in my local town... It seems that staring at staff and asking for discounts don't work on this earth =/

 

[GrimTuesday]

I argued with a guy for 45 minutes about The history of the the Jedi order, and another 35 minutes on the history of of the Mandalorians... so I like Star Wars, you got a problem with that?

I'm trying to write the 38,911 signs of ArMEGAdon on twitter.

Back when I was still a rabid Star Wars fan, I waited in line for six hours to see Revenge of the Sith on opening night with one of my friends. I even dressed up in costume (and my character was from the expanded universe!)

You want to know the really sad part? I was NINETEEN YEARS OLD.

In my defense, I thought the film was going to be good. You'd think I would have learned my lesson after Attack of the Clones.

I got mad at my english teacher when she sais that elfs can fly...
she was thinking of fairies, so i got up and told her the difference, slightly angry, everyone in the classroom looked at me like:
dude why do you know and should you care?
was so proud of myself for doing that

Im from the netherlands and here fairy is translated as "fee" and so she could be mixing those two up cause those words look so much alike, but still did the right thing, right?

Depends what mythology "elves" come from (even AD&D have flying elves). They can get mixed up sometimes.

Other than playing World of Warcraft?

For a creative writing assignment back in high school, we had to write a poem in the style of another author. I chose Tolkien. I wrote a poem in Quenya, and carefully hand-wrote it in Tengwar script on nice paper. It even rhymed. I ONLY GOT A B+. SO ANGRY.

My friend did the exact same thing except... pokemon and he took his writing to lunch and read it to random people because of how proud he was of it.

I probably have a better one but this is the only one can think of atm, I joke-VATS attacked my friend after she kept lightly punching me... She was so confused as to what just happened that she was stunned... It was like Fallout 3!

 

[LongHairRocker]

We were discussing an assigment about Lord of The Rings, so i was thinking about those elves
