FAVORITE MOVIE NERD: I really identified with Anthony Michael Hall's character in WEIRD SCIENCE when I was a jr high school nerdy kid. I was horny for girls and disliked by other students. Luckily things changed when I went to high school (in another district). I still haven't been able to get Kelly LeBrock to come out of my computer, but I saw naked pictures of her once. I guess that'll have to do.
WHAT KIND OF NRRRD WERE YOU IN SCHOOL: A Goofball.
IF YOUR NRRRDY LIFE WERE A MOVIE, WHAT WOULD BE YOUR TRIUMPHANT SONG AT THE END:
"We Are The Champions" by Queen like at the end of Revenge Of The Nerds. It was just what I needed to hear back then.
FAVORITE NERDY PUBLIC FIGURE: Al Franken.
FAVORTE NRRRDY BAND(s): Devo, Casiotone For The Painfully Alone, Popular Girl, Wall Of Voodoo, 8-Bit, 14 Year Old Girls

FAVORITE MOVIE NERD: Cameron (before he decided to kick his dad's car's ass)
WHAT KIND OF NRRRD WERE YOU IN SCHOOL: I would try and buy apples out of the fruit vending machine hoping to get a tasty one. Every one that came out was way too ripe, and I fell for that shit over and over. I promptly threw them onto the roof of the school.

FAVORITE WEBSITE AT THE MOMENT: Mine, always
FAVORITE MOVIE NERD: I like when Anthony Michael Hall gets "stuck" under the glass coffee table in "Sixteen Candles." What a great acting job. It is hard to pull off such silliness and that scene really cracks me up.
WHAT KIND OF NRRRD WERE YOU IN SCHOOL: Freak, fer sure.
IF YOUR NRRRDY LIFE WERE A MOVIE, WHAT WOULD BE YOUR TRIUMPHANT SONG AT THE END:
That would have to be "Pretty In Pink" by the Psychedelic Furs.
FAVORITE NERDY PUBLIC FIGURE: Hmm, not really sure. Uh...Chris Beyond? Just kidding Chris!
FAVORTE NRRRDY BAND(s): Weezer.

FAVORITE MOVIE NERD: Ducky. "I'm off like a dirty shirt." That's why.
WHAT KIND OF NRRRD WERE YOU IN SCHOOL: Geek-Freak. I watched horror movies, read Stephen King, played Dungeons & Dragons, obsessed over Star Wars, read FANGORIA ... all while listening to The Cure, Skinny Puppy & the Pixies. That officially qualifies me for both, I think.
IF YOUR NRRRDY LIFE WERE A MOVIE, WHAT WOULD BE YOUR TRIUMPHANT SONG AT THE END:
The Smiths "Please Please Please Let Me Get What I Want". Totally.
FAVORITE NERDY PUBLIC FIGURE: George Lucas - cuz he's insane! And a geek. With tons of money. And I like Jar Jar. There I said it! I said it!
