Inside, we're all a little Al

Watch this video (is it also up here?), then return here and take the poll...


[Poll #824219]

And yes, I know that the song is vaguely US-centric, but that's what the last option is for, right?

LORD OF THE RINGS!

I had already heard the song but I hadn't seen the video yet. 'Tis excellent. :)

[heidi8.livejournal.com]

OMG how did I forget that?

Er. I mentioned the gap? Of Rohan? Is that enough?

[thistle-chaser.livejournal.com]

Something else that I will state, in all caps, in comments

FFXI >>>> WOW

AND WHY DIDN'T YOU GIVE AN OPTION FOR BEING ONLINE EVEN WHILE IN THE SHOWER?!?!?

Wow, typing in all caps is hard. I kept getting it backwards. "aND WHY". Hee.

Thanks for the link! Every time I think I've outgrown him, it turns out I'm wrong. :)

[photosinensis.livejournal.com]

HARRY POTTER, particularly Harry/Draco.

Also, those options should have been tickyboxes. I had a hard time choosing between several options.

On the other hand I may be white and nerdy, but I spent high school rolling with the gangsters anyway.

[phoenixsong]

But those should ALL be ticky boxes! I know people who qualify for multiple options on the first question, and I KNOW I'm more than one of the second set of options.

Will have to watch the whole video later, it's time to go home already.

Donny???

*screams*

*faints*

[heidi8.livejournal.com]

Is it because he is a Soldier of Love?

[heidi8.livejournal.com]

But if it had only tickyboxes how could there be a *most*?

[heidi8.livejournal.com]

: points to icon

I thought that was only me.

[shocolate.livejournal.com]

Well, I heard that he's a rebel with a heart made of stone
He's got a restless spirit that nobody can own.....

[selinakyle47.livejournal.com]

I didn't realize shopping at the Gap was nerdy. :P

[heidi8.livejournal.com]

And furthermore, he will make a man out of, well, anyone.

[isiscolo.livejournal.com]

Although I most identify with fangirling MC Escher, the one scene that actually made me laugh out loud was the fluency in Javascript and Klingon.

[heidi8.livejournal.com]

Maybe it's a pink hoodie thing?

[ancarett]

That was an absolutely brilliant video and quiz to accompany it!

[rookie131.livejournal.com]

That was hysterical. First of all, Donnie Osmond in the video... He is made of awesome. MADE OF AWESOME!!!

Thanks for the laugh.

Oh, and by the way, my husband's brother can actually speak Klingon. He teaches linguistics at Hebrew University in Israel and he actually learned to speak Klingon. Ha.

[zorb]

MySpace is plebey, not nerdy! Should've gone with a general blog, Al. *wag of the finger*

Of course, then my choices in the poll would've been even tougher.

[hathorx.livejournal.com]

Lol, that was funny!

But apparently I'm the only one who has X-Men comics... *blush*

[marie-j-granger.livejournal.com]

Yup, HARRY POTTER is what I was going to say, too. It's probably too "new" for him to have included it, although his use of My Space makes that questionable. Oh well. Great video, and I'm definitely white and nerdy.

[tall-man.livejournal.com]

LORD OF THE RINGS!

I keep claiming that one of these days, I'm gonna chart out all the relations between the Proper Noun characters of the books... but, of course, someone's already done that.

[heidi8.livejournal.com]

Omg, I made the geekiest quiz ever, didn't I?

[ancarett]

A bsolutely geekiest quiz, yup!

[kimmparker.livejournal.com]

OK I don't actually *own* a soddering gun---but I've used one many times with my father (who is nerdy enough to own several) until I was finally banned after burning too many holes in things that weren't supposed to be burned (always by accident...). It was too much a piece of nerdy childhood memories not to click that one :D

Does it count if I have the most awesome, sci themed, blogs for my classes at work?

(So excited b/c I get to use my new geeky/sci icons that I just uploaded!)

[snowqueenofhoth.livejournal.com]

Video is gone? What? ARGH, stupid youtube. I wasn't fast enough. :P

[moondroplette.livejournal.com]

me neither, alas. RIAA has foiled my schemes YET AGAIN.

[peacockharpy.livejournal.com]

I think between me, my husband, and our local friends, we cover... well, pretty much all of these. Except the Segway, because we're white, nerdy, and not willing to buy a Segway.

Oh, and the Inner Copyeditor says... it's soldering. Not soddering. *grin*

[nyourdrms.livejournal.com]

NO HP

NO LJ (SCREW MY SPACE)

and AND DEW

[heidi8.livejournal.com]

Of course! And note that I only listed the "nerdy" atributes mentioned in the song and video, and I sorta feel that he's singing about himself/his "character", and that shouldn't preclude anyone else from recognizing a bit of him- or herself in the recitation of nerdiness.

[siriologist.livejournal.com]

RUNESCAPE!

All the kids play it and spend hours chatting about it...

[heidi8.livejournal.com]

No, my husband has a few million too.

[heidi8.livejournal.com]

Google video

[snowqueenofhoth.livejournal.com]

MySpace (http://vids.myspace.com/index.cfm?fuseaction=vids.individual&videoID=1194164636&n=2), as pointed out by... I don't remember.

*takes quiz a few days late* ;)

Ahahaha, Holiday Special. Took me forever to find mine... *LOSER*

Talk Nerdy to Me


I can select quite a few from both lists:

Definitely white and nerdy... and so is my hubby. We both love ren fairs, sci fi conventions, British comedy and role-playing... Must show this to him... Thanks for the linkie!
*friends you*

[fodirteg.livejournal.com]

I thought he was describing my dear Hubby. But the Ren Faire weekends were all my idea. Oh, well. He does like the costume garb, though.

[cleito.livejournal.com]

CONVENTIONS!

Oh, c'mon... there's no nerd like a con-nerd!
