Nerdiness Is WAY Hotter Than You Think. ('You' being, ya know, ... non-nerds.)


Okay, kids. This is not about music. It's a little about fashion because I'm gonna show you a picture of my new tattoo, which I think is EPIC.

Here's a little background on the conversation I'm about to post. I'm online, on Facebook, a little drunk, and this boy makes a nerdy as hell comment on the wall of one of my friends. AND I sent him a friend request, to which he replied: "What's up with the friend request?" This amazing exchange followed. Needless to say, we are now friends.

What if I said I was possessed by an alien parasite, that temporarily took control of my brain and nervous function?

I'd say that you don't really want to be friends, just the parasite that took over your brain. After that I'd say that I'm a human supremacist, and refuse your friendship.

One more try. =)

I'd say that an alliance is necessary to save a galaxy in peril -- a joining of the forces, talents, and deadly skills required to end a reign of tyranny and xenophobia. Skills and talents both you and I possess.

Your coming was foretold in the ancient book of Amun-Ra. (Well, either you or Imotehp ... It's tough to make out the actual name.)

But as a human supremacist, wouldn't xenophobia be one of my traits? Wouldn't I want to encourage tyranny as a means of keeping the Heretic and The Xeno from making any kind of mark on our fine Homo Sapiens culture?

Sorry, you really gotta try harder. Imagine you're dealing with Renegade Shepherd from Mass Effect, or a servant of WH40k's God Emperor.

Also, my coming, if foretold in any ancient texts, would be in the Táin or the Lebor na hUidre.

But hey, you got another try! This is fun.

You make a compelling point, sir. Here I was trying to appeal to a man of singular mindset with pleas of peace and justice for every creature. Perhaps a compromise cannot be reached. In that case, I may have to turn my back on those I hold most dear and join forces with evil.

No longer will Twi-leks trade alongside humans on the streets of Coruscant (contaminating other non-compatible, non-humanoid species with their alien ways and toxins), no more the plaintive call of Teroenza's minions enslaving alien men and women to work in the spice mines of Nar Shaddaa (thereby ensuring the traffic of spice and downfall of lesser beings).

I can see now the error of my ways -- surely imposing our will on those lesser races will destroy them much more quickly than their own folly by way of self-governance.

Here I've been promoting human supremacy in a roundabout way, by letting lesser creatures destroy themselves over time ... When surely I might just have embraced this reign of human greatness from the beginning.

Okay. You've won me over. Added.

Aaand.... match. Pure Sabacc.

Tell me that's not wonderful.
