• A nerd having sex with two hot lesbians is Science Fact. For some of us.

• Oh, been there, done that! Coming off as normal to the average population really pushes the other nerds away, doesn't it? I get you. I do NOT, however, get Scooter here. Man, you're just sitting on too many fences!

• LOS LIIIIIIIINKS!

• Odd. I know a couple people who were in that same extra shoot. Apparently they had you guys sit on bleachers for some insanely long period of time? My friend jacked a bunch of newspapers from the set. :)

• The midnight waiting is overrated

• This was *sigh* 20 years ago now... WTF man... holy shit I'm old

• Oh, and anonymous was me.

• Back in the mid '00s at SD Comic-Con, Niel Gaiman was everywhere, hosting panels, interviewing, signing--the whole enchilada. I didn't follow his work, didn't know him from Adam. I got to see him a lot because a friend I was with was a HUGE fan, BUT even though I was ignorant, I became a fan of the man. He was so friendly, genial and an awesome, charming fellow despite his Nerd-Rockstar Status. If he's at a local Con in your area, do yourself a favor and drop by to see him.

• FYI his name was Muffet and he was a Daggit. :P

• Anger Management classes might be a good idea! Hey, it worked for Adam Sandler!

• Also: WAFFLES!

• Taking a few days off work and flying from Colorado to Ohio to see Ep II on opening day with family.

• Seriously, I just have one question: WHAT IS WRONG WITH YOU?! That is the biggest fail I have ever heard in my entire life.

• I feel your pain. And since no one here is saying it . . . I regret World of Warcraft. All of it. It has well earned its nickname Warcrack. I was a player at one point. Then one day, I typed "/played" and scared myself badly enough to need to change pants. 30 days. That is 7200 hours played in 10 months. I quick cold turkey at that point, giving my account and account access to my guild leader for his autistic son. (Hey, if I put that much time into a character, someone deserves to have it. And I knew that was one of the few things his family could do together.) Therefor, for all nerds that have spent a significant fraction of the past few years working towards pixels on a screen that will be obsolete come the next expansion, I regret Warcraft.

• Let me guess: they had you listen to Adventures in Odyssey?

• Are you sure that person wasn't my mother? I know she was someone who wrecked her brothers and sisters record collections due to "satanism". Then again, quite a few of those were Black Sabbath . . . On a related note, my old high school tossed out its old vinyl collection about a decade ago. On a whim, I went through it. JACKPOT! Original "Abbey Road" in good condition. I didn't sell it. I is preserved with what remain of my parents vinyls (which includes all the original release albums for Star Wars). A wonder how much value that collection is going to have in their estate . . .

• I had gotten my girlfriend to agree to attend a Halloween party as Princess Leia (slave girl) if I went as Jabba the Hutt. A couple of weeks later, just before Halloween, we broke up for unrelated reasons. I don't regret ending the relationship, but I do regret not getting to walk around holding Princess Leia by a chain ;)

• I regret not going back after my Tron: Special Edition DVD after I realized my ex-wife still had it.

• Well, hey, you did make some memories after all!

• As a Christian, I am so, so, SO very sorry. I hurt for you. If it's any consolation, my parents: 1. Wouldn't let us go to Disneyworld because they were "supportive of the gay agenda". (I have no idea what that means) 2. Wouldn't let us watch Star Wars, the Smurfs, or the Care Bears because they were all satanic. 3. Instilled some kind of Pavlovian response in me so whenever I hear "Dungeons and Dragons" I immediately think "Satanic game". This type of insanity isn't Christianity, by the way. It's mob paranoia couched in religious terms, and it happens regardless of religion or society. It's human nature.

• In 1969 my grandmother bought me the first three Star Trek adaptations written by James Blish. I was just starting to read, and she new that I like the TV series so she thought they would encourage me to read. She was right. Over the years I bought each new paperback as they came out. I had all twelve of of them, as well as a first edition of the Star Trek Concordance. I sold them all at a yard sale in 1979 for 25c.

• Here's another retro videogame regret just remembered: My aunt wanted me to have my cousin's clock before they went to live to japan, I turned the thing down because I was a clueless teenage and the thing looked childish, not cool man! not cool! Turns out it was a Cuckoo clock, an original japanese merchandizing from the SNES game Joe & Mac. I heard a friend's little sister got the cuckoo, she destroyed it.

• You'd be correct, it's a pretty shamefull moment and if not for the fact I felt up til then I was a pretty decent human being I'm pretty sure I would have gone to jail. Although some days I feel like checking to see if our security guy really was Danny Trejo before he started doing character acting/background tough work...

• I have a local comic shop 30 minutes outside of my town.I usally patron the heavenly place every saturday,since that is when well all just sit in or out of the store chatting about life.It's a great escape from my boring life.In April of this year I met my ex-girlfriend...I did like normal and went to the store and saw everyone like normal and left sadly that was the last time I ever patroned that store for 3 full months.She (the life sucker) liked my geekyness but she said she would never go to that hell.Lucky me,she wanted to go to a lake on the way past my comic shop 3 weeks ago..She agreed to come in with me.Right when we got inside the small place the first thing she said to the owner is,"Grow up and get a real job." I wanted to just leave her in the small town and never see her again.Sadly,I dated her for a pretty long time.She tried to take down my Bleach posters and I said that was the last straw.So my regret is dating a girl that had broader shoulders than myself.

• I was at that episode of Raw. It was pretty awesome. :-D

• Overspending to the point of having to pawn off figures for food. When you're doing it, it'll sound awesome because you're starving and you've been eating nothing but granola bars for the past two days. A year later? You'll be kicking yourself and wondering why you thought it was a good idea to trade Ranma for three tacos and a drink.

• But getting him to sign it would of made it so unique you could of sold it for an insane amount of cash.

• a nerd having a threesome w/2 hot girls IS science fiction.

• I have never seen more justified CAPSE. So sorry for your Wife.

• The moment I accepted that a working Back to the Future hoverboard was never really going to happen.

• I regret not finding the time to make my nerf vulcan shoot 2oo rounds a min. that and not adding vulcan ears to it.

• In her defense, the ocular grounds in All the Pretty Horses are just stunning.

• Messing with my own timeline is strictly forbidden and could cause the whole of the space-time continuum to tear, not to mention my banishment from Gallifrey and maybe even my execution. However, since this is Michael Bay, I'll get right on it.

• I'm going to write my Congress person today and ask them to vote yes on ZeroCorpse's law, which will make it a class 4 felony to burn, throw away or other wise destroy any nerd property who's value increases by at least 50 times within 20 years of it's destruction or loss.

• I had a crush on this girl. She liked Star Wars. I thought that meant all six movies. But no, it only meant the Original Trilogy. Of course, I didn't know this, so when we were chilling at the beach last summer: Her: Isn't it nice out? The weather man said it was going to be ugly, but it's actually really nice today. Me: It's nice, but there's still sand all over the place, and to be honest...I don't like sand. It's coarse and rough and irritating, and it gets everywhere. Her: .......Do you want to go home? I WISH I was kidding. Granted, this didn't blow it, since I actually made up for it later in spectacular fashion, but that's for another "Nerd Save" contest.

• I could've swapped him in and the nerd credentials of the dream would've been astronomical, true. However, that would've been dishonest. And I would never take Bruce Campbell's name in vain.

• My nerdiest regret is that I once, while drunk, wrote an obnoxious and unfunny contest entry on Topless Robot that Rob may have taken as a personal affront--thus forever dooming me to a life in which I can never, ever win a TR T-shirt. Also I regret exploding my old Star Wars action figures with bottle rockets and cherry bombs and gasoline. It was fun, sure, but I miss them terribly now...

• Yeah... I wasn't going to mention it here, as it's not really a nerd regret. - I don't think record collecting was nerdy... But then, I think of "Ghost World" and realize that I could have become Seymour pretty easily if I'd kept up that hobby. - On the other hand, I'd gladly be Seymour if it would mean I could shag Thora Birch.

• How can you have a zombie dream, yet the Bruce involved is not Bruce Campbell???? The mind reels!

• Should hand-shaking really be involved when we're talking about getting turned on by FFF?

• Don't care what part of life you come from, Rocky horror local shows are massive fun.

• Nerd Tailhook! Awesome!

• When I was five years old, the best toys in the world were Star Wars action figures. I was born three years before A New Hope hit the theatres, so I was the perfect age to create my own adventures on Hoth, Tatooine, and the Death Star. I only had one Stormtrooper in the bunch, and Han, Luke, Chewie, and Leia tended to gang up on him. In fact, as the only bad guy, he pretty much had a starring role. Perversely, my parents ordered me to never take such toys out of the house. As any parent should know, such proactive measures lead inevitably to one result: I took my action figures outside. Not just outside, but a few yards away. And... it's still almost too painful to talk about... I lost the stormtrooper. Yes, the beautiful white-clad bad guy of my childhood fantasies -- gone, but never forgotten. I had to force the Medic Droid to fill in as a replacement villain. That's how bad it was.

• This is not a standard-fare form of nerdery, but aside from my comics, fantasy lit, video games and cartoon geekery i am also a bit of a music nerd. As many of my kin would agree, the album "In the Aeroplane Over the Sea" by Neutral Milk Hotel is nothing short of gospel and has been the soundtrack for many many important moments of my life. The man behind the music though, Jeff Mangum, is a bit of a recluse and hasnt done a gig in close to a decade. He is something of a JD Salinger to music snobs. Anyway jump back a few months to May. Le Poisson Rouge, here in NYC, was hosting a benefit for a fellow named Chris Knox and had a few music acts who i was pretty interested in seeing. I had tickets too but passed them off as I was closing in my medical boards and desperately needed to study. Long story short, I dont think I need to explain the rest. Jeff Mangum is buddies with Chris Knox and made an appearance, playing those classic songs that I would have murdered my best friend to have had the chance to hear live, just once. I missed it. Plain and simple and will not likely ever have that opportunity again. I still havent got those grades back yet but Id damn well better have done well. Arrrrrrgh!

• Yeah but he still will miss out on all the midnight waiting at bookstores thing. Suppose he could still do it with the movies but it's probably not the same. Plus it's such a common thing these days. That being said, I haven't read them either. :P

• Testify, Brother!

• Did you go last year? Did you cosplay? And if you went last year, did you happen to notice a chick that was wearing a costume that was meant to look like Growlithe but looked more like a lame version of Tigger? That's my ex's ex-girlfriend, my ex was the guy with the nerdy TF2 t-shirt and I was the one hanging around with them both. Going with a few friends always makes the day more fun but I can see how it might get annoying if one person wants to do one thing and the others what to do something else.

• Ok, I already posted my attempt at humor earlier. That just got me thinking over the weekend...did I have a real Nerd regret. Then I remembered...I must have pushed it deep into the back of my mind..smoothered it with layers of movie trivia, song lirics, and Playboy centerfold likes and dislikes. I had gotten caught (while young..so very young) having a "sexy party" involving my GIJOE's (with Kungfu action grip) and my older sister's Barbies. I sat there my jaw slack and open, a slight tremor in the hand that was holding the Joe with the telescopic eye. I wished that I had tried to explain it...soldiers on leave...the uncertain future of a soldier going of to the front in a few days, but I was just embarrassed. I let down my troops, I retreated in cowardice. I never let my troops have weekend passes again.

• Another twin topless robot reader! I thought I was the only one.

• It's not like the books disappeared... you can still read them.

• I DID see it drunk, and still hated it. There really are some things alcohol can't fix.

• My only regret is that I can't shake your hand

• FUCK and NO! you dismantled a Commodore 64? you're an ANIMAL, sir! an ANIMAL!! oh, and that bit about FFF is kinda bad too, i suppose XD

• I have a couple of nerd regrets. I don't actively regret them I guess, but they are sad scenarios nonetheless. When I was in 1st of 2nd grade (not sure which) my twin brother and I had somehow collected enough money to purchase the super-awesome, really-working, G.I.Joe Hovercraft. My mom was actually going to take us to the store to get it the next day after school. Well, the day of the big event, my mom picks us up from school and finds out that we brought the hovercraft money with us to school (I guess we were eager). She wasn't amused. To punish us, she decided we weren't getting the Hovercraft... and we never got the Hovercraft. So, so cruel Another annoying thing happened in 3rd grade. I had just gotten a M.A.S.K. figure as a Xmas gift. It was the yellow jumpsuit guy with the green motorcycle/helicopter. I'd been dying to get that guy, and I was eager to show him off. I snuck him to school soon after. I didn't let my mom or my teacher know that of course. Well, sometime that day as he was in my locker, the figure fell into the locker beneath mine. He fell down a gap in the metal sheet that separated my locker from the locker below mine. The locker's "floor" was damaged and kind of dented "open." Anyway, having had that locker all year, I knew no one was using the one below mine, so I couldn't ask some kid to get it. I didn't tell my teacher, cuz I knew I'd get in trouble, and of course I never told my mom, because I would've has my ass handed to me. So, in the end, I had a kick ass motorcycle copter but no one to pilot it. So, so sad.

• Rob, maybe you should regret the fact you still haven't signed up for Gaikai or even reported on it. I mean, this is a nerd news site and we like games... and you could get MONEY from it: http://www.gaikai.com/faq#affiliates Also, every time I try to email you it (apparently) fails.

• goddamn! this makes my sob story pales in comparison!

• I mentioned it before but I'll use it again. I used to play a text-based MMORPG called "The Eternal Forest." If I remember correctly, for my first char, I played 90 days (at least 30, I have no idea the total for then all. Less than 200)... not game days, REAL DAYS. That's about 2170 hours I spent in front of the computer. When I got to level 100, (the level cap) I remorted my character, and did it a second time. 300 levels. 2170 hours. After that I realized I was a horrible tank and hated doing it, and yet I chose a tank class... such a waste of life... C'mon Rob, seriously, I want to be able to say "I spent over 90 days on a MMORPG, and for all that time wasted, I GOT THIS AWESOME T-SHIRT!!!" Just thinking of all the stuff I missed out on... that's regret... Rob... I want that time spent to have meaning... please? I'm begging here...

• well, being a doctor, you probably still have the time lord's name card from a convention somewhere, right? maybe you can ring him up and we can borrow the TARDIS for a bit? just a thought.

• DUDE, seriously... get some promises from those parents of yours; Like, unbreakable oaths and stuff!!!

• Love us and take us for who we are, or leave us in the ditch or trade us off for "the son/daughter you've always wanted". DON'T try to change us to be mini-yous! You shall fail! And parents, that's a surefire way to get yourself into the old folks home later in life! En-FUCKING-joy! Note: Hit the "Post" button too soon. That too is a regret I suppose.

• dude, that's just wrong.

• Okay, who has the TV series My Secret Identity? How about the complete New Leave It to Beaver, including the TV movie that spawned it, Still the Beaver?

• goddamn...you know, if they have laws that outlawed animal cruelty, they MUST have laws againts nerd cruelty!! i mean, FUCK!! i always hear about these tales of how parents/siblings/family fucked up our nerd lives and not the least bit apologetic about how they try to turn us into "someone normal", just like them. hey family! listen up and listen good! we are NERDS!!

• You should have linked to the vid http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=kdhhQhqi_AE

• Used to have MASSIVE collection of Japanese mecha toys. Mazinger, Valkyries(Macross/Robotech), Gaiking, etc. I even got their enemies, so I have enough resources to recreate my own Super Robot Wars battle scenes. 7th grade came, and mom convinced me that "a kid your age don't play with toys". Well, to be nice, I gave them up to my six-year-old cousin. The regret comes a year after, when I visited his place. I half expected him to appreciate my collection like I did and put 'em on a crystal glass cabinet with robo whores or something. But what I found was a scene straight out of Robotech: torn pieces of robo limbs, scraped off decals and paint, and Mazinger was missing its chest casing (which, to me, kinda foreshadows "Topless Robot"). I swear, if he wasn't family, I would've chopped off a horse's head and leave it on the little snotbucket's bed. See how HE likes it to find a decapitated head in the morning! In a twist, though, Gaiking was strangely left intact. And now, the other anime bots went onto obscurity while it is getting a remake. I couldn't help if M.Shyamalamadingdong was somehow involved in all this…

• Somebody had to say it! I don't think you can win, but you deserve an Honorable Mention for your massive Geek balls.

• Marvelous!

• FUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUU... That is among the saddest tales I have ever heard. In my home town, the local crusty-vinyl-merchant had a copy of that, too... He kept it in a glass case, and even in AWFUL condition, he wanted $500. Oh, how we lusted after it!!!

• I have no nerd regrets. I stood in line for "The Phantom Menace", waited in the back of a hot car in line at the drive-in to see "Mega-Force", and stood in the rain to see "Star Trek V". I watched or taped every episode of "Misfits of Science", "Automan" and "Manimal". To quote Hedonism Bot "I regret nothing!" A true nerd should have no regrets, embrace the fact that you can recite TWOK from memory!

• At least you know where they and they're intact. Just make sure your parents hang on to them until you can retrieve them.

• That's what I always hated about my College: I went to a small liberal arts school that used original works instead of textbooks, which sounds great but meant we were forced to shell out cash for a 300 page book even though the course itself might only touch on 20 or so--but that's not what pissed me off. The books we were assigned were fascinating and engrossing, the kind of stuff I'd read for pleasure, then they'd tell us to read ten particular pages and dissect them in class discussion. This wasn't so bad with non-fiction, but it tore the soul out of any truly creative work. We'd do the same in other classes with art and music. We didn't talk about what a piece meant or how it made us feel, we talked about saturation and vanishing points or pitch and meter. We bled the Arts dry and performed autopsies on their cadavers...I don't know where I'm going with this, I just felt the need to rant. As one might suppose, I never finished College.

• Never reading Harry Potter.

• My other regret is not having seen James Brown live before he died. Not specifically nerdy but so huge it crosses over.

• The night before Episode 1 came out was the night I graduated from high school. Being the nerds that we were my best friend and I went to the school sponsored "all night" graduation party at a local sports bar in Phoenix that the school had rented. Anyhow, when we were finally released from that we jumped into his car and headed to the first theater we could find showing the film. We got there at 6AM for a 7AM or so show. Being as tired as we were at that point since we had been up for over 24 hours when we got to the theater, we thought the movie was really good, except for that annoying kid up on screen. Knowing what we know now, We would have done something else.

• Standing up for yourself is one thing, nearly committing manslaughter is another. I seriously doubt King Psyz posted this story as something to be admired.

• My regret is, having found ICE's Lonely Mountain game in mint condition at a garage sale for $2, not having any friends who will play it with me.

• I'm in the suburbs about an hour north of you. Just a five dollar metra ticket away. Oh, the temptation!

• Your sister should wake up every morning and thank whatever gods there may be that you haven't killed her. Not only did she potentially lose you 20 Gs, she contributed to the destruction of a piece of Rock and Roll history. Your restraint is truly superhuman. Christians everywhere, ponder well this man's tale: THIS IS WHY SO MANY OF US HATE YOU! For your own safety, please do your best to disassociate yourselves from individuals like this.

• Chicago. I work about a block from where they're filming and I swear to GFSM if they leave a mess on the corner of LaSalle & Monroe I am going to punch Bay right in his pig snout. Now The Dark Knight, those guys were class acts. Flipped a semi right on an intersection at 3 AM and I could walk to Chipotle at 11 the next morning and see no evidence.

• i already entered so this is just something i have to vent.. today i took my son [son of a bitch] to his 1st boy scout camp. the camp is in the north GA mountains. we went up and had brunch about 30 minutes from the camp and after paying the check we realized we had about an hour and 1/2 to kill so we started to drive around. in the middle of nowhere we passed a large flea market. we pulled in and had about 30 minutes to look around before we had to leave to get to camp which was still 30 minutes away. we looked through the stalls, SOB found a pokemon emerald for $15 i bought about $20 of other generic crap. we should have left but the last lean-to of stalls only had 4 so we went to look quickly. there was a guy that had original star wars figures that blew my mind. he had the old jabba on the platform with salacious crumb and the hookah 12" kenner luke and han figures and about 10 others. he also had snookums from the muppets who has always been my favorite. he wanted $10 each piece. TEN DOLLARS EACH PIECE!!!!! i had about $6 in cash left and he wouldn't take checks or plastic. here i am 30 minutes from an atm, they close in 2 hours, i need to get my son to camp so i cant drive to the atm and go back before i drive him to camp and he wont hold them anyway. i walked away. i drove by after i left SOB at camp and the market was closed. i can go back next weekend when the guy's booth is open but i am going to cry if jabba or snookums is gone.

• Aagh! You beat me too it, ZeroCorpse ;)

• One of my big nerd regrets happened when I was a wee 11 year-old and didn't hit me until I was between the age of 18 and 19. I was a big fan of the ninja turtles when I was in grammar school. I had the toys, the lunch boxes and a stuffed Mikey who slept by my side every night. My best friend Joey, who later became my boyfriend when we go older, invited me to his house. His dad had acquired a bunch of comic books from a co-worker and had brought them home. He said they used to belong to his co-worker's son (whether this was intentional by the said son and not his dad just giving them away, I'm not sure). Joey's dad opened it and lo and behold—they were all TMNT comics. Granted, this was the time when the turtles were not as popular as they were in 90-91, but we still loved them anyway. They all ranged from the Archie to Mirage and since Joey and I were more familiar to the Achie ones since they were based off the cartoon, they were the first ones we grabbed. The black and white Mirage ones were nothing we had ever seen, but we liked the gritty look of them so we divided those up as well. Then Joey picked up one that was bigger than the rest and had yellowish pages. We flipped through it and were immediately horrified by the weird look of the turtles. They were small with thin arms and had beaks and tails and not all how they looked in the other comics and the cartoon. We left it in the box and when Joey's dad asked if we wanted that single, out of place comic we said no. He probably threw it away for all we knew. We kept the other comics and were very happy with our selves. Later when I was a budding college student I had rediscovered the ninja turtles after re-reading the old black and white comics after an expedition up into the attic. The Archie ones failed to interest me unlike the Mirage ones which were more dark and adult. I fell back in love with the turtles and began to seek out more at the local comic shops. After looking online for some good deals I saw a few scans of the 1st edition. Its was worth a pretty penny, probably more so now, but once I set eyes on the comic art I was floored. The same comic Joey and I had been so disgusted when we were eleven….was TMNT # 1. Had I kept it along with my other TMNT comics, which were nice and safe up in the attic all those years, I would have had it in my possession. We still kept in touch via Facebook and I told him about the story a few years back. He was also pissed as hell.

• yeah, i'm thinking it was for legitimate reasons as well. [besides the star trek] hot and nerdy aren't a total package, its just the wrapping. perhaps the filling was vapid and vain?

• Probably.

• As a kid growing up in the 90's, I had quite a large collection of toys. Sure, they were much more brightly colored than the stuff of the 80's, but no less awesome. Then I reached the age of 12-13, and went into the short time period where I decided I was too old for toys, and sold everything at a few yard sales. Power Rangers, gone. Generation 2 Transformers, gone. Beast Wars Transformers (And I had almost all of them), gone. Gaudily colored GI Joes, gone. Same story with Star Wars, Batman, Spider-Man, and so on. I even got rid of quite a few comic books. Now, as an older collector, I'm trying to find and buy many of the same toys I once had, often at rather high prices. Every time I look on eBay for a Dinobot, or in a secondhand toy shop for the White Ranger, I'm reminded that I had it all, but gave it up.

• You could have saved some blood and gotten the same result if you'd just written "REDRUM".

• I'd say you dodged a bullet there.

• Wow. That reminded me of something worst than my TMNT story, below. - My Bible-thumper sister convinced my parents that my record collection (vinyl) was full of evil messages, recorded backwards, and I ended up having to throw away first pressings of many great rock albums. - One of the albums I had to throw away was a particular Beatles album with meat on the cover... It "looked Satanic". I found it among an estate collection when I was a young teen, and kept it because I thought it looked interesting. It wasn't until years after the record-pitching incident that I found out that it was the oh-so-rare unpasted-over "butcher cover" for The Beatles "Yesterday and Today". - I just looked up the value, and I hate my life. - Poor condition: $2,000 Excellent condition: Up to $20,000 - Mine was unpeeled, in pretty decent-though-well-played condition. I would have at least gotten a few thousand out of it, had I known what it was. - And it ended up in a landfill. ...Because my sister thought it was "Satanic". - Excuse me. I need to go hurt something.

• I'm not looking to win the contest, but I wanted to share. Here it is, and MAN does it suck: - I left my copy of Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles #1, volume 1, FIRST PRINTING, mint in a poly bag, sitting on the counter in my house while I ran to do something outside (I don't even remember what it was). - My teenage sister, feeling vindictive because I'd given her old, used, beat-up Barbie doll a buzzcut, took a razor blade to the back of my comic book... Several times. `Sliced right through to the middle of the book, too. It was a total loss. - Current value of TMNT #1, first printing: $900.00 - Price I paid for it in 1984: $3.00 - Value of the beat-to-crap Barbie I shaved, at the time I did it: $1.00 (maybe). - My sister and I do not get along very well.

• Yeah, I gotta agree here. Pretty nerd girls aren't uncommon these days because it has become socially acceptable and really almost idolized for being one, so more women admit it (or in Wookie's case shout it). Not to mention having large breasts (or Tig ol' Bitties as my friend likes them) isn't uncommon either, especially in the nerd community because of our sedentary lifestyle. I imagine a good deal of women post on this site, each with her own list of nerd hobbies. For example, I love to play D&D, video games, comics, classic pinup photography, and cosplay (I make a pretty spot on Tifa or Brandy from Liberty Meadows). Not to mention (more importantly) our intellectual interests, which really should have more attention drawn to than the silly things we like to do in our free time (I'm working on getting a doctorate in history). I'm sorry about being dumped, but I highly doubt that it was done without reason. Maybe he wanted someone who has a higher self-esteem and confidence who doesn't need validation from the internet. Either way, good luck on finding someone who better suits you and for the sake of the rest of us nerd girls, keep your crazy in check. It gives us a bad name.

• I stood in line for all 3 prequels and the Ep IV re-release. And while waiting in line for Ep IV I saw a girl that I had a crush on in school but she had moved before I worked up the nerve to ask her out. I decided that it was better to not lose my place in line than catch up to her and say hi.

• My biggest regret is keeping my nerdiness to myself for so long. I didn't share it with others until college. Here's what happened: 1) I saw The Rocky Horror Picture Show, at midnight, at a local theatre…three times. Once was Halloween, when I was dressed as Death from Piers Anthony's Incarnations of Immortality series. 2) I went to my first comic book convention. 3) I met my wife (fifteen years married and going strong…) 4) I met my best friend (who was my Best Man at my wedding) 5) I enjoyed long debates/discussions about the best writers, artists, characters, etc... while playing D&D. And most of all… 6) Had the best time of my life surrounded by others like me. I can only imagine what might have been had I opened up during high school. Yes, there would have been teasing and bullying. Yes, there would have been dateless Saturday nights. But I would have been much more comfortable in my own skin during that very awkward time.

• I possess Tennant-like glasses, Ten's manic energy, and have Tom Baker hair. Two outta three ain't bad...?

• When I was in my prime 'Joe' days, my biggest regret was the day my mother took me to "Ben Franklin's" (little general store in Boulder Co.). I must have been 8 yrs old. There, I discovered the Swivel arm battle grip version of O.G. Snake Eyes. My soul yearned for that Joe. I didn't have the cash and my mom wouldn't shell out the $2.99 to buy it for me. It was the first and last time it touched my little hands and my little heart.

• Veoh is blocked in my country. but honestly, i can access the content just fine by torrent's and such. i just regret not being able to "buy" them.

• In school, in the late 90s, you had the choice of Spanish, French, or just introduced Japanese. Now, three and a half years of Japanese means I could be reading Weekly Jump right now, and probably spending less than $12 a copy for manga by buying untranslated. Three and a half years of Spanish means I can follow the dialog on that annoying Bing commercial. Living 300km from the Mexican border, I chose Spanish. There hasn't been any thing I wanted to read or hear in Spanish ever.

• Jesus! Just as turkeys dread Thanksgiving, action figures must dread July 4th.

• The reason this is fail isn't because you were a giant nerd, it's because you interrupted her and talked about yourself and your interests only for a good portion of the date. The same thing would've happened if you were say talking about banking.
