Nerdiest item that you own?

[Norri]

okay so what is the nerdiest item that you own and how did you get it.

[Monika W]

I've got the LotR ones too. I can watch them over and over again :)

[Joh]

I own not one, but TWO shelves of manga and a plush Companion Cube from Portal.
And the cards from Card Captor Sakura...

[Jayde]

Hmmmm, I'm not sure what that would be for me. My apartment is stuffed to the rafters with nerdy stuff.

Is it the 3000+ Dungeons and Dragons miniatures? Those my boyfriend purchased to replace the ones that were stolen from our car. He bought it from Harry Potter so that he could pay rent. There's a long story there, it involves a Harry lookalike and a place called The Adventurer's Guild.

Is it the 20th anniversary edition 4th edition Shadowrun core book? This also comes from the Adventurer's Guild.

Is it the Arkham Horror boardgame along with all of the expansion packs? Or the Munchkin game and expansions? Or the Munchkin books such as the Dungeon Masters Guide: Munchkin Edition? Settlers of Catan? Battlestar Galatica boardgame, also known as four hours of Whose the Dirty Cylon? They come from all over the place, really. We play a lot of weird boardgames around here.

Is it the small city built using card boxes filled with Magic the Gathering Cards? The boyfriend used to work at a gaming store, we had a discount.

Is it the Quark (of Deep Space Nine) statue we have on standing proudly on top of the giant shelf of video games and webcomic books? This thing is so old I can't remember where it came from.

Nah, I think it's my dangly earrings made from d20s. They're a great conversation piece. :P They were a gift from the boyfriend from when he went to the Pop Culture fair Pure Speculation, which I couldn't make it to because I was working that day. He played Shadowrun in a game GMed by the artist of Weregeek.

I cannot beat any of your nerdy stuff with one exception. I have saved about 80% of all my childhood toys, and still believe that they, like Buzz and Woody (and Raggedy Ann & Andy from a previous era) have adventures without me.

My personal favorite is one that I improvised myself - it was a store bought cheap dune buggy. Molded plastic, turning wheels, probably made in a small Asian country. I dressed the little bright yellow car up by using red electrical tape to detail it. It has racing stripes and the number 12 (my date of birth in May). I later constructed wings for it, and imagined it to be a contemporary sort of Chitty Chitty Bang Bang.

Now, if that's not nerdy enough, please note that I did this type of adjusting with plenty of toys, and eventually did the same for my son. He and I built our own Titans tower for his Teen Titans figures out of foam core. We also repainted Robin's R-Cycle (orginally molded PURPLE!) Bright Red with yellow highlights.

I am a nerd.

If the previous post wasn't nerdy enough, try the Puzz-3D Millenium Falcon (unfinished) or the Puzz-3D Cinderella's Castle (finished and carefully moved during 2 house changes).

The nerdiest thing I own is probably my Timopoly. Tim freakin' Horton's Monopoly! Sadly only the Canadian Nerdfighters will understand and respect this item..

Apart from that my nerdiest items are either my wax hand molded in the shape of the Vulcan salute, or my lifesized Hob Goblin cardboard cutout display.

my 'i use to be schizophrenic but we're ok now' t-shirt. it's funny but i have to explain it to everyone

[Hannah]

Haha, that's ironic because Schizophrenics don't have multiple personalities :P They just hear voices in their heads.

[Marz Ars]

Probably this shirt:

Yes, that is a cape. It has the Robin logo on it. What makes it especially nerdy is I could have gotten Superman, Wonder Woman, Batgirl or Robin, and I chose Robin. I don't know why, but I've always like Robin (except for Jason Todd, I didn't care for him).

[Anna Rieman]

Hmmm... my complete collection of Burger King Star Wars toys from when I was 13? Or "My other car is a TARDIS" bumper sticker. Take your pick.

[Lisa Ann]

A complete set of Funk and Wagnell Encyclopedia bought for me when I was born

[Larry]

I would have to ask for a definition of what makes something nerdy.

I can tell you my most nerdy behavior.

I alphabetize everything (or would that be OCD?).
