Anime geeks, as I am obviously scared of pedophiles.

I am not sure if my stepdad & his VA buddies qulify as D&D nerds....

some of them are into war reinactments, by stepdad & I have the tendancy to collect sharp objects, and keep decent stockpiles of them.....

My stepdad's collection is far more extensive then my own (dozens of cooking & specialty knives, Plus Foil, Epee, Cal. Saber, & bamboo practice swords.

My Stepdads: Vietnam Era "Gurka" Knives from Humong, VC, Anzac, & 1 actual Gurka sources. 1 Vietnam era US military combat knife, 1 WWI bayonette, 1 WWII or Korean War Bayonette, Civil War bayonette, 4 Bowie Knives, Roman Gladius replica, Actual Toledo naval saber (obtained from smith in Toledo Spain), 1 watered steel Scimitar (optained from bazzar in the Middle East), 3 Katana's, 1 wakazashi (all obtained from his sister-in-law who works for Bandai Japan), 1 Claymore Sword (first prize axe competition Highland games one year), half a dozen throwing axes, more cooking/utility knives then ME, more industrial knives then me. (Heh, at least I have two industrial knives he doesn't have, mostly because I had dissection class in college and he didn't (I still have my own bone cutters/PM knives in storage)

We're not pedophiles. Prawn's just a dick that enjoys pissing other people off.

Relax, Spanky. You know how much Prawn likes it when people gobble up his bait and begin foaming at the mouth.

Oh and mildly Pyro, knife freaks like me generally end up working in restaurants, not going out becoming the latest horror movie fodder....

hmm, remind me to add that to that to the Horror movie for intellegent people script....

The short order cook at the lodge has a bigger arsenal then the psycho killer....

Those geeks are nothing compared to the ultra-elitists who berates everyone for not watching anime raw, and thinks anime should only be bought directly from Japan.

As an anime geek, I'd tend to vote for anime geeks. As a matter of pride.

But the fact is, any domain of geekdom taken to its extreme is pretty damn freaky.

I've seen one or two of them at MT.com, damn they piss me off.

I was being relaxed. I was just telling her to never listen to anything Prawn ever says. If I wasn't relaxed, you'd be able to tell easily.

By any chance they mentioned anything about themselves being in Japan ? If the answer is yes, you've probably encountered even rarer ultra self-righteous otakus, especially if they're not lying about being over there. If the answer is no, then they're the generic elitist pricks.

Likely, there are many resident MT.com forum goers who live in Asia, namely Japan for obvious reasons. I rarely venture into the actual animé and manga forum anyway, they have discussions that either bore me or ruin series I haven't got chance to see yet. Oh yeah, they also have the odd elitist prick.

Strangely, the main forum is where people that hardly care for the webcomic reside.

From what I've heard the posters;present company excluded of course;

at MT.com are the worst of the worst of otakus.

LARPers. LARPers of any kind are far and away the scariest.

?????

I have a friend who's an avid LARPer, and he's not even remotely scary. Heck - he's not even geeky.

I thought that "nerd" was a corruption of the word "nut".

(Understandable, since some nerds are quite nutty)

OK - V:TM LARPers who hang around the Eerie pubs in London because there's faux-gothic architecture and cocktails named after sins and Addam Family members.

Look, any one who makes a metaller cringe in embarrasment is in trouble...

Nope, Dictonary.com gives only the following possible etomology:

[Perhaps after Nerd, a character in If I Ran the Zoo, by Theodor Seuss Geisel.]

And definition-wise a nerd is:

n. Slang
A foolish, inept, or unattractive person.
A person who is single-minded or accomplished in scientific or technical pursuits but is felt to be socially inept.

So "nerd" has nothing to do with "nut."

Peregrin Toker · Post by **Peregrin Toker** » 2003-10-25 03:24pm

No matter what the dictionary says, I still have clear memories of reading in a computer magazine that the word "nerd" is a corruption of "nut".

Well erm, the dictionary overrules it i guess.

"Dork" is a corruption of "dick" i know that much.

As much as I'd love to say anime nerds, I'm going with the D & D nerds. Especially those ones that walk around with dice bags. Now THAT'S a nerd.

Don't get me wrong, anime is pretty nerdy. Especially if you're a single fat and pimply faced American dude that jerks off in the parent's basement to it.

What about Goth nerds? I'm talking about the fatties that dress all in black and try to look like vampires. It's funny how they try to be so anti social while hanging out in their social groups.

That's odd. In the Free Software movement, the pejorative is the other word.
