Calling All Nerds

[Dibbons]

Since finding someone to publish my relationship manuscript has been a failure (title: Pleasure, Turmoil, Despair), I have decided to pursue a possible TV/Movie idea where the protagonists are all “nerds.” I have a lot of time in the evenings now, since all the interruptions of the commercials on television have encouraged me to shut off the boob tube permanently.

What I need to begin my project is a broad spectrum of the following: a) various nerd definitions b) a compilation of past nerd characters who have appeared in movies/television with corresponding film clips c) last, but not least, a broad database of the names and contact information of genuine real-life nerds in North America (Canada, USA, Mexico). So as not to ignore half the population, I suppose we can include both male and female (if there is such a thing) nerds, with the restriction that they manifest a heterosexual orientation (since the principal theme of the project will be based the love life of such individuals).

Anyone who would like to contribute to my start-up is welcome to post your ideas/opinions/contributions here. I imagine and am hopeful it will be an entertaining idea in a comedic way. If I awaken enough enthusiasm/interest in my project I will be sure to set up a website. Posted on FABO/FBBO.

There is a nameplate on the front, but I can't read it.

Anything from the 80s. Head of the Class, Can't Buy Me Love, Revenge of the Nerds. As for definition, I'd say social awkwardness is pretty key, even more than being very smart.
