I saw this video below and it made me wonder what my roommate, The Deuce, thinks when he listens to Chris (the other roomie) and I rattle on.
I would be the sports guy, Chris the Star Wars nerd, and The Deuce - the cubicle dude. Of course I'm much better looking than that sports guy...
Recently Chris, for his birthday, received a Star Wars pop-up book (that I have to confess is pretty frickin' awesome - solely on pop-up book standards, then a little more for it's Star Wars content). He was showing it off to Rachel and spouting off about what ships were what, using all the technical terms and stuff. Rachel replied:
"Wow, you sure are waving your nerd flag high today...aren't you?"

I think your post from a few days ago proves you’re the guy in the blue shirt....and well Chris. I am excited you quoted me on your blog and I have yet to get attacked....but the day is still young.
The difference is that Star Wars and other grand works of fiction provide a much needed set of archetypes for our society to understand the constant struggle between good and evil.
Sports is the opposite of archetypal. Changing from day to day to day, impossible for the average person to integrate into their understanding of life.
