Go figure. It's a great read, btw. The nerd rap world wouldn't be believed. It's quite a kinetic and frenzied environment.

Normally I'd think it was some Beast Wars or 3rd Gen thing I'm not up on, but that's old school Megatron. WTF? as the kids would say. Steve, you mentioned in a previous post you'd been watching Battlestar. Do you still have those? I'm going to need something to do over break once I beat Zelda.

It is the hotness though. Transformers brings a tear to my eye. The first thing I said when I saw Megatron was “holy crap! how are they going to sell that one here in the US???”

First of all he is a like a Nazi gun, so he is twice as scary. Secondly its such a completely unsafe toy to have now a days, a realistic looking gun. Funny thing, my nerdy friend collects transformers, and was all worried about how he was going go get it, because customs will confiscate realistic looking gun toys. and this won't be sold in the US, but apparently those crafty japenese are just going to package it in robot mode. Problem solved... Also, google Masterpiece Starscream. I dares you. Of course he is. First of all he is a like a Nazi gun, so he is twice as scary.

The nerdly shall inherit the earth or something like that. I didn't really bring it up as a trade of views on the administration, it was more like I wanted to know if you were being hyperbolic or not. Fair enough.

I don't know that I conciously think I'm going to be turned into Homeland Security, but I do know that in the deep dark parts of my psyche, I'm a paranoid mofo. And not just of terrorists or airborne disease (both of which can be homegrown…perfect for the zombie/heros metaphor) but also of the acceptance of the elimination of our civil liberties. I don't want to go deeper on this post than that though…at least not here. I know we disagree on a lot, but surely we can talk about zombies in a nerdly context without trading blows on the administration? I mean…something has to explain the resurgence of Zombie Horror in the last five years and the growth in popularity of Superhero films besides simply good timing? It's psyche. I think you're right. American culture plebes are changing their shorts daily with excitement. As for Everlast, I stand corrected. I should have said "Everlast isn't a rapper anymore. Christ." Better? Arguing about musical tastes on this blog is like winning the fucking special olympics. You idiots have your tastes, I have mine. I never thought Everlast was any more than a talented front man for a Frat Boy band. Thinking of him as a rapper is foreign to me. For god's sake…wasn't his last shitty album a little bit country? He's a poor man's Beastie Boy. Enough of that. I did leave out 4400 and Lost room, but I don't have cable, so those shows are out when I talk…since I don't know anything about them. I wonder if dvds of those series are out yet…I'd like to check 'em out.. Are they in the second season? Sci Fi channel's growth in popularity in general could be yet another sign that nerds are doing other things. Who would write a novel when you could fucking write BSG, amirite? Same thing with the growth of cable networks and internet tv-sites. All of these outlets are draining the nerd-author pool…so the scifi books we would have seen in abundance are now BSG episodes or 4400 episodes or Cartoon Network shorts or what have you. That sci-fi post you made has got my brain all a twitter Steve. Very nice. As for pursuing nerdly things…I want to play a RPG with you fuckers. Let's make plans. I'll run the game and even come to Boston. :) ps. WHERE THE HELL IS THE PREVIEW BUTTON, STEVE??? I was more expressing a feeling of abject paranoia and fear, Ananth.
