Nerding Out

No point in denying it
We've all done it
Maybe when we were younger and dumber or maybe when weren't that young and should have known better
This thread is for laughs and feeling better about how much better we are now

In college I got in an argument with a guy about whether The Imperial March was also called Darth Vader's theme. I went back to my room and found my CD as proof. When I came back he was gone and I was a left a bit ashamed at how important it seemed.

Just two years ago I forced my wife to stand in line to get a picture with Darth Vader at Star Wars Celebration at Disney World. Would I do it again? Absolutely. Am I proud of it? Not at all. I'm sure I'll remember more as the thread goes on

This a thread for moments we are not proud of. Moments we took are obsessions and our need to be right just a little too far. If you have no moments like that. If you are still proud as Hell about all the arguments you've had about stupid shit this thread is not for you.

    I have to say that one of the things I most value in my marriage is that my wife has to listen to all my stupid nerd shit, no matter how disinterested she is. It was in our vows!

    I have metal friends who do this and it is the fucking worst. Also the endless categorising of music into super-genres.

    I nerd about it the opposite way though.

    I don't classify it all into super genres and shit.

    That is asinine.

    I listen to it and enjoy it.

    I remember I went to the Halo 2 launch in Sydney and was floored when the girl I liked from school was there. I was like HOLY SHIT SHE LIKES HALO. Turns out she was there to see the band that was playing and didnt give a shit about Halo.

    Then halo 2 turned out to be shit. My poor teenage self.

    I am usually conscientious of whether an oxford comma would help understanding

    If it would not I would rather not use it
