Talking Geeky

I consider myself a geek and I go out of my way to do nerdy things. Play Magic the Gathering, play only RPG video games and talk/chat/post for hours (on other people's blogs, of course) about the big wussy monster on level 100,000,000 that nearly kicked my ass (but lucky for me and my level 10^6 Archer...), and all other nerdy things. "Dude, I just got 'The Doomsday Machine' special edition on DVD. The one where the Enterprise is about to blow up!!!" See. I'm basically a nerd. But I'm cool wit it.

What gets me is when in conversation someone says, "You just can't get around it without an alpha-beta 2 dash ten red/blue switch." Then there's that awkward silence. I'm like, "Dude, no one's laughing. I don't get it. What's the punchline?" Said person repeats him/herself and still no response. Now me, I'm ready to shoot the sucka down. "Man, you stupid. I tried it without that switch and it worked fine. Looks like you need to go back to the drawing board, dumbass." But I can never get my two cents in. Someone, that one person who always looks out for the little man, changes the subject. "Anyone catch Enterprise last night?" Its weird because the person who says these weird things know exactly what they're talking about. Whatever the hell it is they're talking about, they own it. We've all been there.

I guess you don't have to be a nerd to know what I'm talking about, but it’s especially funny when it’s nerdy talk. Or Chris Rock. Now you've all seen PootyTang on the Chris Rock Show. Pooty is generally bragging about his new video, while Chris is continually boosting his ego. Then Pooty goes, "Stank shank on the Pooty Booty!"
Chris: Pooty what the hell you just say?
Pooty(annunciating every word): Stank-shank-on-the-Pooty-Booty.
one minute of silence
Chris(laughing): Ohhhhh, Stank shank on the pooty booty!!

as if now it makes more sense.
These are moments that, one could say, "You just had to be there!"
