You know you're one of us... Err, watched too much Futurama when...

[Reply #600 on:]

Ever since I saw Twilight, the futurama dreams are less frequent if you get my drift.

You're saying Twilight was so terrible it actually extinguished any thoughts of anything good? TOTP!!!!!

It's because you're a guy, and from what I can tell, not gay.

Honestly, a film/book made for one sexuality specifically is NOT a good book/film...

Twilight.... Why won't it just go away? Obsessive fans of that book/movie are what turned me away from ever readng it/seeing it.

[Reply #602 on:]

They're probably saying the same thing about us.

Ugh! seriously! Can't wait for that to be over!
But Futurama is not as mainstream as stuff like Twilight and Harry Potter.
I don't think people really know how obsessive Futurama fans are. Perhaps we should introduce the world to FistfulOfAwesome.

[Reply #605 on:]

Obsessive Futurama fans are 50 times better then obsessive Twilight fans....

I'm in the process of reading "Eclipse" of the Twilight series, and the reason I'm reading the books at all is because of curiosity over the fad that's arisen around them.

And frankly,  I don't get it. I hate vampire books/films/movies that don't follow the rules; that is, where the vampires in them are powerful, strong, sex-ay, can fly, drink blood, etc. etc BUT crucifixes, garlic, sunlight and holy water have no effect on them. SO WHERE'S THE FUN? It's like the religious aspect of the myth is being purged...maybe because religion is being purged overall, or being ridiculed and degraded, from and in all sorts of media today. And while I'm not religious myself, at least not in the traditional sense, I like that aspect of vampire lore. When I watched the original Dracula movie, with Bela Legosi, I liked Van Helsing and the good guys, not Dracula. Yet so many people seem to like vampires. I don't get the attraction for them AT ALL. They're human leeches with weird accents. Even worse, in the Twilight books, they're sparkly human statues with dark circles under their eyes with no relation to the traditional vampire in any way. They're all beautiful and without flaw, a pack of parasitic pretty boys, a bunch of cold-blooded Jonas Brothers! Bleah!

But then I don't quite get the Potter craze either. The books are badly written IMO. And Ron and Hermione? Does that even make sense? I do like the books' eldritch atmosphere, however, and Severus Snape makes that series IMO.

I'm proud to be a Futurama fan. To be one requires brains and a sense of humor. Qualities that would be a handicap to members of a lot of other fandoms, I'm afraid...

[Reply #608 on:]

All Futurama fans are proud of being Futurama fans and most are proud to be nerds. Futurama is a smart show, Twilight is just poorly written book.

Anyway, we're WAY off-topic. Shall we get back on the subject?

[Reply #609 on:]

Back on topic.

When you're pissed off about work tasks, and you find yourself muttering "tote that space barge, pitch that space bale".

Who you calling a nerd?

*Looks in the mirror*

Oh noesssss...

[Reply #611 on:]

...When you know you're a nerd and are proud of it.

[Reply #612 on:]

I knew I was a nerd the moment I got my first glasses at the age of 7.

*chest swells up with pride*

[Reply #613 on:]

I don't think that works when a female says it.

[Reply #614 on:]

Besides, you've already posted a HAWT pic of you here.  Nerd you don't look.

Me gots good english skills

[Reply #615 on:]

That's because you two have yet to see me with my glasses. I shall muster up another bunch of courage to snap another shot.

who knows when

[Reply #616 on:]

You can be a nerd without looking like one (That's why I have contact lenses).

[Reply #617 on:]

My husband and I are as nerdy as it gets, but I don't think I appear nerdy. *see pic in peeler pic thread*

[Reply #618 on:]

I guess it's the classic nerd picture I have in my mind; black thick rimmed glasses, pocket protector with 20 pens, poindexter beanie with propeller on it.  I think I need to update the pic...

The last time I wore contact lenses, I had an eye infection which almost cost me an injection. I am not going anywhere near them again.

They'd better watch out for those leather jacket wearing hair slicked back grease monkeys.

[Reply #621 on:]

I have pensils, pens, paint brushes, sketches and papers all around my art/writing room. But if you saw the rest of my house without seeing that room you'd hardly know a nerd lives there.

I know where it came from: Revenge of the Nerds!

That's some bunch of nerdy nerd nerds.
