I'd like to enter a new contestant for Queen of the Nerds; meet Sillysparrowness, who built her own TARDIS. Now the fact that she built a TARDIS is not why I think she'd make a fine nerd queen, at least not exactly. Here's why she gets my vote:
• She made an incredibly awesome TARDIS
• She made an awesome TARDIS that's both easily constructable and totally portable
• She made this video documenting her making of said TARDIS
• The video is funny, adorable, and extremely well-edited
• SillySparrowness herself is funny, adorable, and if not well-edited, she's still incredibly clever and immensely talented Seriously, even you guys who aren't into Doctor Who should give this a watch, because this lady is absolutely delightful, and so is her video. Infinite thanks to my friend Mel for the tip; now if you'll excuse me, I need to go swoon for a bit.
More links from around the web!

She is so lovely and her TARDIS is awesome!
-
I get that a lot. ;-)
-
I need to kiss this girl. my lips are telling me so.
-
x Sigh x I have a crush now.
-
would you make one from her vlog "why i like school" too? you'll know what i mean, when you watch the video ^^
-
Swoon indeed!
-
WOW this has been great watching 'Silly' build this and see they way she thinks..(somewhat the same as myself when building)..she did a Fantastic job and I love the many ways it can go places & how easy to assemble...I'm sure she could make money selling the 'kits' for all the rest of us 'nerds' floating out here :D
-
And now I'm going to have to find a wood shop class, because I want to have a Tardis shaped chicken coop for my chickens.
-
You wouldn't last a minute,that's too much heat for any human,unless you're silicon instead of carbon-based in which case : ALLONZE!
-
Get her a better Mic system, and I'd rather watch her than most of the stuff on the D.I.Y. channel any day. Witty, awesome, WIN. Also, "the BBC props department is a douchebag" is PRICELESS.

Eccleston / 2005 is a decent starting point, but in my opinion Series 5 / 2010 with Matt Smith is a better place to jump on. The story line is more concise and consistent from 2010-present. I think the newest incarnation is the way to go for someone new to the Doctor in action. If you're hooked after Series 5 & 6, then go back and watch the best of the newer and classic series, or watch them all if you are so inclined. There are many highlights from 2005-2010, but the lows are often hard to get through. I think the newest stuff is the most entertaining to watch, and I've been a fan since the late 70's.

Bricken is smitten

In Germany of course :D
-
First i wanted to kick u in the Throat, then i clicked your link. Everything's cool now :D
-
Yes! Yes that would bring people to your table at......oh, you meant the TARDIS. Yeah, i guess that would work also. I would pay good money to see her do any of her other Projects or ANYTHING else. Swwooooonn-faint.
-
It sounds like you have the beginning of a song by Ben Gibbard with words like that. But who knows, maybe she'd swoon for you in return because of that.
-
On bended knee, with matching sonic screw drivers instead of rings.
-
I will never be this cool.
-
"Her accent is not as strong some I've heard from Germany" She mentions in one of her other videos she is a Language Scholar and English teacher. I have a friend who is a multi-language teacher very similar to this woman, who is currently working her way through Korean just because she thought the Korean alphabet looked pretty. She also taught herself to count to a hundred in Finnish one saturday because she was bored.
-
Where the hell were all these girls when I was growing up?! Bwaaaaaaaaa!
-
I'm semi ashamed to admit I rewound the video more than once as she glued the windows. I'm ashamed. I'll go spend some time alone as punishment. Just let me grab an old sock....
-
I never knew porta potties had such a cult following. Fun vid though. Even if I still don't get the appeal of Dr Who.
-
I thought Germans were supposed to be efficient? I joke because my German American friend built a TARDIS he takes to cons and such. I do belive there was a good deal of German cursing involved there too. I helped a bit. His family and other friends helped. This one seems a much more light weight. So it might not be as durable, but it seems much quicker to assemble and transport. Though my friend did put wheels on it, so it can spin and move on a floor. Still is kinda a pain to move. So it's a trade off. Oh and eventually his girlfriend got him an awesome antique phone that matches the one inside the door. I forget how it attaches, but I think he might have that as an optional piece for some shoots. And, yeah, the lamp on top is a pain in the butt to make and you really need to custom that sucker like crazy from various bits.

I saw this and absolutely HAD to create a GIF of her pointing at her cock. lexplex dot com
-
Shame he's not the deluxe - they come with so much more Eagle.
-
This is great ! Terry Parker, get on it and make one.
-
Adorable! Funny! She looks like Jodie Foster: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Jodie_Foster
-
Boy, with her talent, problem solving ability and hard work added tp my skill to stay out of the way, ability to hand over a hammer when asked at least by the second time, and my total lack of shame to be able to claim other peoples work-------- We'd make a great team!
-
Bag of Shame - I'm stealing this idea. And the best part is that it is a DIY project I can actually complete!
-
I now have the last piece for my Felicia Day threesome. Me, Felicia and German Felicia
-
Ich liebe dich. Mich reizt deine schone TARDIS. Und bist du nicht willig so brauch ich...Daleks?
-
Liked solely due to the commenter handle.
-
Fantastic video! She is sooo adorable. Not to mention, my modest understanding of German helped me translate all the swear words. Bonus!
-
She sounds German.
-
I love her. And I want to be her friend or something
-
Ok, she has passed the qualifying rounds and stands in first place to become my second wife.
-
She's cute for a Deutsche fraulien. I'd luftwaffe her!
-
I LOVE YOU. MARRY ME.
-
Hmm.... garden shed Tardis.... wonder if my neighborhood association would allow that? Fuck it, I'll build it anyway!
-
That, and he would have around 50 years of back episodes.
-
What do YOU mean "you people", you people?
-
I agree. If you didn't grow up watching classic Who, you probably won't enjoy it as much. Eccleston is a fantastic starting point.
-
Please marry me.
-
I'd say start with the Eccleston reboot in 2005 and watch through to present day. If you enjoy all that, then you can start watching the older stuff on Netflix.
-
I had no intention of watching a sixteen minute video about a phone booth. Then I hit play. To my shame, I've never actually seen a single episode of Doctor Who.. Should I start at the first - first or is there a better starting place?
-
Seriously. Swooooooon!
-
*in love*
-
It's a Tropic Thunder reference, hence meant as a joke. Which is fine if you don't know the reference.
-
Same here. High five....err let me clean up first.
-
Deutsche madchen Sweding the TARDIS LOL Her accent is not as strong some I've heard from Germany This a bit like watching Phil Hartman as the Anal Retentive Chef. Though the presence of lady-bits makes it tremendously more interesting than Phil's Chef.
-
You know what people he means, stop playing dumb. Its people like YOU how make things bad.
-
What do YOU mean "you people?"

Saw something like this at a con once. The Fourth Doctor and Sarah Jane put it together AND THEN GOT IN IT and came out as 11 and Amy, is was fucking cool.
-
this has prob been done before but it just occurred to me, fill the entire (or almost entire) inside with mirrored surface. bam. looks bigger on the inside.
-
That would totally bring people to my table at cons . . . . Hmmm . . . . Hey VexedByRaptors, get my keys! We're going to Home Depot!
-
I found this amazingly easy to masturbate to
-
uh-oh someone better alert ms robot.
-
That was impressively done.
-
What do you mean "You People"?
-
This young lady deserves a medal. Not just for her wit and Tardis-building abilities, but also for not being one of those scary fans. You know who you are...
-
I love these totally portable TARDISes. My fiancee's friend has one, which is the one you'll usually see at the Chicago TARDIS convention and it's so handy to set up. My goal is to create one of my own some day, but make it the TARDIS from Classic Who with the blue signs. You just never see anyone give the Classic TARDIS love anymore.
