    speaking of functional jedi powers, I can't be the only one spending way too much time trying to force pull things when they are out of reach?

    that also applies for force persuation, especially when that person is far away....

    no it hasn't worked yet :(

    Well, I do pretend to be using the force to open automatic doors.

    As for the nerdiest thing I've ever done, 17 episodes of Angel in one day, as mentioned it in my qualifications, stands out, but I wish I could do better than that, and hopefully will.

    I want to live, and I want to love, I want to catch something that I might be ashamed of.
  • Me and my friend have the same kind of MP3 player, and when we listen to artists on random we try to use the force to pick the next song. When it works, we feel like gods! GODS I TELL YOU!

  • Sat in front of the tv every day for decades to participate in "Jeopardy!" and had my trusty calculator to add and subtract the dollar amounts I'd win or lose as well as the total amount of winnings and gloat to no one in particular when I virtually win that night (which is often).

    Well, with automatic doors it always works. Well, usually. Apparently I walk freakishly fast which would explain why I sometimes have to slow down for automatic doors.

    watched anime till the break of dawn for a conservative 3 weeks straight. Now I can brag about how many anime I have watched.

    Mit der ich sonst viele Zeit verdorben,
    Sie hat so lange nichts von mir vernommen,
    Sie mag wohl glauben, ich sei gestorben!" - Mahler

    ooh i have a new one.
    standing around with a couple other people critiquing the playing style of the pac-man screen saver that comes with PClinuxOS.

  • I like to ride my basket to my car at the grocery store. There's a pretty good slope, so I just keep on going. Reactions are best! Little kids point and look at their parents; parents smile and shake their heads. :)

    Certainly not the nerdiest thing I've ever done (nerdy nonetheless), but then I've had a lot of years to work on being a nerd (And, the older you get, the less you have to try. :) Check out your parents, kiddies)! I'm not even going to try to join this group because I'm too insecure; I don't want to reveal just how nerdy I really am... ;) Nuff said already.

    That's awesome, Gary. I wish I had the confidence to do that.

  • It's really doesn't require a lot of skill to ride a grocery basket... I'm sure you could do it! ;)

    I rigged a old model PSP (the ones with the IR Transmitter) to work as a universal remote on everything from TV's to microwaves to traffic lights. I also built my own working robot and use usenet for filez.

    Top that wannabe nerds.

    Was on teamspeak. The phone rang and every time I started talking I'd press my push-to-talk key.

  • Well, I avoided going to see the Dark Knight with my girlfriend because I knew it'd just turn out to be a make out session. I thought I'd save that shit for Pineapple express, not the big DK. Luckily this wasn't too difficult as she said she didn't like 'comic book movies'. I ended up seeing the Dark Knight three times anyway. The irony kicks in on the third viewing, where I finally decided to talk my girlfriend into seeing it, and she watched intently and refused to let me distract her with kisses. Figures.

  • Uh.I love writing essays on random stuff...because I'm interested in lots of different subjects for random reasons.. Like typography and emma jung's theory on the Aenima and Animus for example. I sometimes write essays purely for my own enjoyment about the subjects when I learn more or less everything about them...

    Oh and I love DEVO.

  • I've taken part in Final Fantasy Fight...
    And I also argue over stupid things
    Of course, this is not all, but I'm too lazy to list everythin or remember stuff I've done.

    Except from several Star-Wars-Marathons (wich I'd say is like as important to being a proper nerd as knowing how an algorithm works for being an informatics-guy) I've playind LOTRO for several fucking days being dressed up as Frodo. Yes, while having the LOTR-Soundtrack running on my player.

    For a while I went to the astronomic observatory every week. And I participated a holyday course in astronomics.

    I went to the Star Trek world tour in a Star Trek uniform.

    Lots of nights spent playing games, watching movies, reading books.

    Covered my walls with SciFi- and Fantasy-Posters, jig saw puzzles and scientific stuff like the periodic table of elements.
