Hello Friday: The Fiercest Nerds on the Block July 3-9

Hey Darlings,

Bad dates + Vicodin + Secret Foods = a great first week back with comments to match. Check out our best of below:

HELLO FRIDAY

re: Fierce OR Nerdy: America vs. USA in which slpc asked us to choose between “America (the Beautiful)” and “Proud to be an American.”

BabySmiling: How about a write-in vote for Neil Diamond’s America?  “Today!”


PHILOSOPHICAL MONDAY

re: Single White Nerd: Real Life vs. Blog Land in which Michael Kass gets prematurely dumped after a date Googles him and finds his past Fierce and Nerdy blog posts. Doh!

keldoo: She seems rather judgemental and completely lacking in the sense of humor department. And PS, [if] you’ve googled the person you are on a date with. You’re supposed to put that information in your back pocket and use it when necessary.

OH, IT’S TUESDAY

re: Hasta La Vista, Vicodin? in which we informed you that the federal gov’t is taking under consideration a proposal to ban Percoset and Vicodin.

(Thought) Chuck: Oh noes indeed! What will people like Liza Minelli & Rush Limbaugh do?!?!?! SERIOUSLY!!!


WOW! IT’S WEDNESDAY!

re: Our Secret Foods, in which we asked if you had any secret foods — foods that you only eat when no one else is watching. Apparently, many of you do. Here are just a few of them:

littledebbieoatmealcremepieCH: Hostess chocolate donuts.

keldoo: Twinkies. Frozen. Always….

Robin: Spoonfuls of store bought cake frosting.

aimee: i had crunch berries for dinner! they made me sick but i may go back for more…

Kim: When I was a kid I used to sneak in the kitchen and slice off hunks of salami then hide the wrappers between my mattress and headboard. Somehow I foolishly thought my mom would never find all those wrappers or notice that the salami stick was getting smaller and smaller. And no hide the salami jokes y’all!


DEAR THURSDAY

re: Venice Flytrap: The Strange Case of (My Date with) Dr. Jekyll and Mr. Hyde, in which Kelly Kaboom tells us about the worst impromptu date ever. Ever.

jenny: OMG! That scenarios needs to go into some screenplay pronto! For a while I thought he might have been trying to pull that ‘insult you to make you like me’ trick that guys try, but this one WAS a real douchebag! At least you got some good fish and a great story out of it!
