Nerdy/geeky thoughts that have made you want to slap yourself

[Cristina]

Hello Nerdfighters!

This discussion idea was inspired by events occurring a few days ago, and I wanted to know if any of you had ever had a similar thing happen to you.

Basically, I was walking to my bedroom with the intent to practice my speech for School Captain. On my way there, I decided to do it in front of my mirror, because (quote my brain) "it will give me Charisma points". I then stopped and wanted to slap myself for believing for even a second that The Sims and real life were interchangable. (Sim-playing Nerdfighters will understand =P)

Needless to say, I didn't end up speaking in front of the mirror; though I could've used some Charisma points. =P

So, has anything like that happened to any of you? You've thought something really nerdy/stupid and were so glad that no one could hear it? =P Share!

EDIT: Alex Day (nerimon) mentioned this discussion in his new video "Google Verb". Win!

I can't remember anything specific but there have been times when I've wanted to move something and think "Now all I have to do is click and drag...Oh, wait, crap I'm an idiot. afk dammit."

When I actually tried "fish custard" from episode one of series 5 of Doctor Who.
For anyone who wants to know... it's strangely yummy :D

[Cristina]

Are you serious? Americans don't have custard?! It should be there in the supermarket with the yoghurts and creams!

I just used vanilla pudding. But "real" custard, no. Not unless it's made from scratch (which, though delicious, is time-consuming.) It was okay, chicken would've been better...

My sister once asked if I'd like to go out and do something (I forget what exactly it was) and I responded with a quote from V for Vendetta: "Thank you, but I would rather be taken and shot behind the chemical sheds." Of course she had not read the book so some confusing drama ensued.

i have had so many stupid and funny moments that it is hard to keep up with them all. on thing happened before a girl scout meeting about a year and a half ago. for awhile now, there have only been 3 girls in my troop and i was hanging out with one of the girls while waiting for the other one. we were playing war and i laid down a jack when she laid down a seven. she wasn't paying attention and tried to pick them up. i said "hey your trying to jack my Jack!" we laughed about it and went on. a few minutes later we both laid down a Jack. so, naturally, i yelled,"Hey, look, it's a Jack Off!" to this day the other girl says that the funniest thing about the situation was not that we were at her moms place of business waiting for a girl scout meeting to start or even what i said. she says the best part was the look on my face when i realize what i had just said. so yeah, there's one stupid moment in my life... :)

I've been playing the Sims pretty frequently, so when, on a walk today, my friend said, "Oh, look, butterflies!" my first thought was to catch them and see how much they would sell for.

I get these weird thoughts that come to me as I'm falling asleep - I've taken to keeping a sheet of paper by my bed to write them down. A geeky sampling:
"What time zone do they use in space?"
"When people do that thing where they wear a velcro suit and stick to a velcro wall, do the people wear the hooks or the loops?"

[Captain Jacqui Sparrow]

They do wear the loops. I've actually seen people wear velcro bodysuits while jumping on a trampoline so they stick to a wall made of velcro. And yes, it is as awesome as it sounds.

Last night I had a dream where I and some random people were trying to find food in order to survive. We ended up finding 1up mushrooms and eating them. I facepalmed when I woke up haha.

I also do alot of wheezywaiter related things, like saying "shirt!" in a high pitched voice or singing like his rug does whenever I move around on my spinny chair.
