Nerdy, Sexy, Cool

I realize that for most folks who have not had the distinct displeasure of making my acquaintance this might come as a huge surprise, but in the interest of honesty and openness, let me make something very clear: I am a nerd. And not just any garden variety (computer) nerd, either. Take any inane, uninteresting, moribund subject unlikely to win the favor of (attractive) women anywhere, and I have likely discussed it (at great length) in a party setting. Yet, despite this rather tragic disposition towards nerdiness, there is one staple of the quintessential geek that I had always shunned: the nerdy pick-up line. That is, until yesterday.
