Just a boy with a dream….of pirates and moon ships

White and Nerdy

Yes, I am the first to admit it….I relate to this song in FAR too many ways:

See my confirmation notations in italics below.  (mmmm…italic pizza!)

White and Nerdy by Weird Al Yankovic

First in my class here at MIT
Got skills, I’m a champion at D&D  (I have the dice)
MC Escher – that’s my favorite MC  (blows the doors of MC Hammer)
Keep your 40, I’ll just have an Earl Grey tea  (prefer Green tea, but you get the idea)
My rims never spin, to the contrary  (you know what kind of laptop I can get for the pricetag on those rims???)
You’ll find that they’re quite stationary
All of my action figures are cherry  (guilty)
Steven Hawking’s in my library  (got his own shelf)
My MySpace page is all totally pimped out  (ok, maybe not totally pimp)
Got people beggin’ for my top eight spaces
Yo, I know pi to a thousand places  (I can remember to 36 places, but cannot remember breakfast)
Ain’t got no grills but I still wear braces  (naw, just rolled with a retainer…top and bottom)
I order all of my sandwiches with mayonnaise  (this is where the wheels start coming off…light mayo only please)
I’m a whiz at Minesweeper – I could play for days  (hmmm….not so much)
(…)
I’ll ace any trivia quiz you bring on  (bring it baby!)
I’m fluent in JavaScript as well as Klingon

(…)
Even made a homepage for my dog  (ok, maybe not my dog)
Yo, I got myself a fanny pack
They were havin’ a sale down at The Gap  (got the receipts to prove!)
Spend my nights with a roll of bubble wrap
Pop, pop, hope no one sees me
Gettin’ freaky
I’m nerdy in the extreme
And whiter than sour cream  (they do not get much whiter)
I was in AV Club and Glee Club and even the Chess Team  (check, check, and check)
Only question I
Ever thought was hard
Was do I like Kirk
Or do I like Picard  (do not make me have to answer!)
