The nexus of Nerddom?
The geniuses at Brandywine Books pointed me to this wonderful picture (source). I love it. This is satire that bends out in several directions.
I love stuff like this, even if it enraged the nerds and geeks (of which I am one, or the other, I’m not sure). Reminds me of an episode of The Office:
Jim Halpert: Hey Andy, by any chance did you see Battlestar Galactica last night?
Andy Bernard: No, I didn’t. Is it any good?
Jim Halpert: Actually not. It was really so-so.
Dwight Schrute: Okay…
[Jim threatens with the stopwatch]
Jim Halpert: I mean like all the crazy monsters and stuff, you know like Klingons and Wookiees and all of that…
[Dwight turns to respond, but Jim shows the stopwatch again]
Jim Halpert: I’m sorry, Dwight, did you want to say something?
Andy Bernard: Was that anything like the original Battlestar Galactica?
Jim Halpert: You know it’s weird, it’s practically a shot-for-shot remake.
Andy Bernard: Really? Huh… that’s cool.
Jim Halpert: Yeah, and the story is kinda bland. It’s about this guy, Dumbledore Calrissian, who’s got to take The Ring back to Mordor.
Troll quotes are great and surprisingly hard to do.
