Geek Posse
The Wife has been making fun of me (and my friends) behind my back. I know it seems crazy, but it’s true.
At the end of September, “Weird Al” Yankovic released a video for his parody “White and Nerdy” (hat tip: Jeremy). Its hilarious, you should watch it. I’ll wait.
Back? Funny, no?
When The Wife saw it, she merely shook her head: “I never knew knew how truly geeky you were until now. It’s like your theme song.”
The other day, she dropped a new word I hadn’t heard before. I had to ask her to repeat it because I thought I had misheard her.
She had asked, “Are you going to The Koreana for lunch on Friday?” Honestly, she was jilted that I wasn’t taking her to the best sushi in town. I told her that I was.
“I see how it is,” she protested, “you gotta hang with your Nerdies.”
Apparently, Nerdies is like Homies for the slide rule crowd. She tells her coworkers things like “My husband was hanging out on IM with his Nerdies last night.”
I guess I’ll just have to spill a bit of Earl Grey tea for my fallen Nerdies.
“This one’s for Nelly’s XML Bridge.”
“Fo’ Shizzle.”
