So what's wrong with tucking shirts inside pants? That's in fact the formal way to dress. Shirts inside trousers.

Anyway, much of this "weirdness" is a consequence of being bullied, of being casted as a pariah.

Besides, who's to judge what card games are "weird?"

tucked shirt inside pants?

what planet are you from Albert?

Do you know nothing about the world? I'll give you the benefit of the doubt, I knew nothing about looking nice at your age. When I joined the navy we were required to tuck our shirts in. In the middle east we had a dress code. We HAD to wear shirts with collars. And yes shirts with collars should be tucked in. There are exceptions of course. Like back in the 80's during those miami vice days...

Put an end to popups!

Ya know, I bet that behind Albert's back, some other kids are going :
"There's that odd kid with crazy mother and he's always being polite on girls. What's up with him?"
"Yeah, and the way he posts on some boards about something called "Civilization"."
"I've heard he's a fascist. What kind of person would be fascist, I ask you?"
"Look at those Tommy Hilfigers he's always wearing. What's he trying to prove?"
"He's always listening to rap music, too."
"Yeah, yeah, rap music. Remember that time when he told us he lost his leather jacket and his mother was sending him to Lebanon? I've always wondered about that, you know."
"And when he was telling everyone about his crush on Lee-Ann. I mean, Lee-Ann? I mean, I'd fuck her, of course, but havin' a relationship with him?"
"That politeness thing is creeping me out, man. Is he trying to hit on them or something? They're probably creeped out too."
"That kid's sure is weird, man. I've heard he has Asberger's."
"Yeah. Better not tell him, though, he might kick our ass. Remember that one time in locker room...?"

And now, some lyrics:

INSIGHT

Who's that kid in the back of the room?
Who's that kid in the back of the room?
He's setting all his papers on fire
He's setting all his papers on fire
Where did he get that crazy smile?
Where did he get that crazy smile?
We all think he's really weird
We all think he's really weird

(chorus)
We never talk to him
He never looks quite right
He laughs at us
We just beat him up
What he sees escapes our sight

We never see him with the girls
We never see him with the girls
He's talking to himself again
He's talking to himself again

Why doesn't he want tons of friends?
Why doesn't he want tons of friends?
Says he's bored when we hang around
Says he's bored when we hang around

(chorus)
We never talk to him
He never looks quite right
He laughs at us
We just beat him up
What he sees escapes our sight

We're all planning our careers
We're all planning our careers
We're all planning our careers
He says we're growing old...

.........................................................................................................

"Straight A's"

Sixteen, on the honor roll
I wish that I was dead
Parents hate me, I got zits
And bruises 'round my head

Pressure's on to get good grades
So I can be like them
Do my homework all the time
I can't go out just then

People they ain't friends at all
They tease and suck me dry
Yell at me when I **** up
And party while I cry
I look so big on paper
I feel so ****ing small
Wanna die and you don't care
Just stride on down the hall

Suicide suicide
Read the paper, wonder why
Turn the light out, then you cry
It's your fault, you made me die

Touch me won't you touch me now
So frozen I can't love
When I was born my mama cried
And picked me up with gloves

Girls, they kick me in the eye
Want answers to the tests
When they get them they drive off
And leave me home to rest

Hold my head
Make me warm
Tell me I am loved
Give me hope
Let me cry
Make me feel
Give me touch

The window's broken bleeding screaming
Lying in the hall
I'm gone no one remembers me
A picture on the wall
"He was such a bright boy
The future in his hands:"
-Or a spineless human pinball
Shot around by your demands

Suicide suicide
Goin' to sleep and when I die
You'll look up and realize
Then look down and wipe your eyes
Then go back to your stupid lives
Aw ****

How in the name of Satan's pet badger did your Asperger's get discussed here if your mother made it up? Does she post here?

Do I need to remind you that the reason why it was brought up is because you said you had it? Have you now changed your mind?

You're really surprising me. I'm really bothered that people like you, Imran, Connorkimbro, and David Floyd who always used to defend me now are the ones attacking me. What's up?

I may be a piece of ****. I've always thought of myself as a piece of **** and my experiences seem to have proved that but I try with all my heart to be better. I pray to God to make me worthy of a good life. yet I never understand how people who commit wrongs are capable of having good lives and being cared for by friends and family. How can nerds who don't give a **** about physical appearance and relations with others and so on possibly have good lives? I dont understand this.


thanks


There's a certain mental condition that causes this lack of understanding about other people. You get a shiny penny if you guess what it is.

Imran and BD used to defend you because it was part of a general political stance. At the same time they were accusing Ming of overt leftist bias, for Christ's sake. They're now more inclined to avoid knee-jerk reactions and judge people by their actions rather than their politics. This is a good thing, and I have a lot more respect for them even if their politics are different from my own. Unfortunately it means you're screwed, because you're basically not very nice.

I wonder if anyone ever told this kid that there is such a thing as trying too hard. My roomie in college was great guy, real nice, good looking, smart, but he was also a royal asskisser with the ladies. It impressed a few at first but after awhile they all tired of it. Most girls respect a polite man but they don't want to be coddled like little babies.

And as far as nerds.....well, we're all posting on a site which is based on a game. A computer game. If that isn't nerdy, I don't know what is.

i'm sure any girl would get tired of a guy who is always extremely shy and always agrees to everything you say never seems to have an opinion etc... sure a lot of people open up more when you become close but if they don't i couldn't imagine a more boring relationship....

i guess i could definitely be considered a nerd but i'm definitely one of the most spontaneous persons i know... (just today i brought up the growing infertility of racoons in english!)

i think i was trying to prove a point but i got lost in my own thoughts and the simpsons are on soon so i gotta go anyway...

Avatar Enlargement: We've got the solution

OK, I confess. I wear my shirt tales tucked in. Now here's something even worse: I have a pocket protector and I use it! Why? Because I write up 30+ charts/day, my pen is in and out of my pocket continuously, I don't have time to check to see if the point is retracted every time I put it back in, I have about a dozen pens in my pocket because I can't afforg the time to run back and forth looking for a new pen every time one runs out of ink, and I also have an EKG protractor, a ruler, and a penlight in my pocket, so that's a lot of weight in a shirt pocket and the pocket protector provides extra support so that I don't have to keep buying new shirts which would require increasing my fees.


That's Why.


So remember Mr Cool Hand Luke, the next time you're out running around in your Big Green Pleasure Machine, and you've got your shirt tails flapping in the wind, and the shirt tail hits you in the eye, and you don't see that truck coming at you, and you wind up wearing the imprint of a White Truck grill on your face; the guy doing your neurosurgery IS A NERD!!!!!!

Albert ~ I've said this to you before and I will say it again. Be yourself. Stop trying so hard to impress people. Girls will like you for who you are not what you are trying to be.

If you're a nerd then be one, if your not then be what you are.

Caesar ~ you can still be a nerd and spontainious as well. Just because you posses nerd qualities doesn't mean you can't have fun. It just means you have fun in a nerdy type of way!

Nerds will always be the ones with the good jobs and job security. At some point this will become important in a womans life. She will want her mate to be able to be a good provider as well as a good mate for her. As I said earlier, nerds tend to have big hearts, decent morals, and a good respect for women. That's something that makes a man totally irresistable to a woman!
