My wife snapped this pic during one of my better moments as a numismatist. You'll notice I even have a crazed look in my eye.

    Billet7, Looking at the photo a second time it would have been just as easy for you to use a Desk Lamp! image

    So this video is for you "Weird Al" Yankovic - White & Nerdy image

    They see me mowin'
    My front lawn
    I know they're all thinking
    I'm so White N' nerdy

    Think I'm just too white n' nerdy
    Think I'm just too white n' nerdy
    Can't you see I'm white n' nerdy
    Look at me I'm white n' nerdy!
    I wanna roll with-
    The gangsters
    But so far they all think
    I'm too white n' nerdy
    Think I'm just too white n' nerdy
    Think I'm just too white n' nerdy
    I'm just too white n' nerdy
    Really, really white n' nerdy

    First in my class here at M.I.T.
    Got skills, I'm a Champion of DND
    MC Escher that's my favorite MC
    Keep your 40
    I'll just have an Earl Grey tea
    My rims never spin to the contrary
    You'll find they're quite stationary
    All of my action figures are cherry
    Steven Hawkings in my library
    My MySpace page is all totally pimped out
    I got people begging for my top 8 spaces
    Yo I know Pi to a thousand places
    Ain't got no grills but I still wear braces
    I order all of my sandwiches with mayonnaise
    I'm a whiz at minesweeper I can play for days
    Once you see my sweet moves you're gonna stay amazed,
    my fingers movin' so fast I'll set the place ablaze
    There's no killer app I haven't run
    At Pascal, well, I'm number 1
    Do vector calculus just for fun
    I ain't got a gat but I gotta soldering gun
    Happy days is my favourite theme song
    I can sure kick your butt in a game of ping pong
    I'll ace any trivia quiz you bring on
    I'm fluent in Java Script as well as Klingon

    They see me roll on, my Segway!
    I know in my heart they think I'm
    white n' nerdy!
    Think I'm just too white n' nerdy
    Think I'm just too white n' nerdy
    Can't you see I'm white n' nerdy
    Look at me I'm white n' nerdy
    I'd like to roll with-
    The gangsters
    Although it's apparent I'm too
    White n' nerdy
    Think I'm just too white n' nerdy
    I'm just too white n' nerdy
    How'd I get so white n' nerdy?

    I've been browsing, inspectin'
    X-men comics you know I collect 'em
    The pens in my pocket
    I must protect 'em
    my ergonomic keyboard never leaves me bored
    Shopping online for deals on some writable media
    I edit Wikipedia
    I memorized Holy Grail really well
    I can recite it right now and have you ROTFLOL
    I got a business doing websites
    When my friends need some code who do they call?
    I do HTML do for them all
    Even made a homepage for my dog!
    Yo! Got myself a fanny pack
    they were having a sale down at the GAP
    Spend my nights with a roll of bubble wrap
    POP POP! Hope no one sees me gettin' freaky!

    I'm nerdy in the extreme and whiter than sour creme
    I was in AV club and Glee club and even the chess team!
    Only question I ever thought was hard
    Was do I like Kirk or do I like Picard?
    I spend every weekend
    at the renaissance fair
    I got my name on my under wear!

    They see me strollin'
    They laughin'
    And rollin' their eyes 'cause
    I'm so white n' nerdy
    Just because I'm white n' nerdy
    Just because I'm white n' nerdy
    All because I'm white n' nerdy
    Holy cow I'm white n' nerdy
    I wanna bowl with-
    the gangsters
    but oh well it's obvious I'm
    white n' nerdy
    Think I'm just too white n' nerdy
    Think I'm just too white n' nerdy
    I'm just too white n' nerdy
    Look at me I'm white n' nerdy! image

    No offense brother. Im referring more to myself being indoors in a beautiful day like this..addicted to the pcgs boards.image >>



    Not at all! It wasn't an offensive comment. I tend to type like I speak, and it's difficult to infuse type with my dry whit and sarcasm image or I think it would have sounded funny.

    Do yourself a favor and go outside!!! (Wait...I'm inside...I should take my own advice.)

    You know you're a serious collector when you act all cool, nonchalant, suave and debonaire.
    The glasses are nice touch, but the headlamp ensures you've reached a certain plateau in numismatics. You're officially serious.
