Military Nerds Get To Finally Join Starfleet Academy


When I was in the Navy, I was a nuke and therefore in the company of many other poindexters. Some people don't understand that there is a huge WoW-playing, BCG-wearing, Trek-loving culture to the military, but it's definitely there. That's why I'm sure the pre-screening of the new Star Trek and a visit by the cast was well-received in Kuwait. Story and pics here, thanks Hollywood!

Are you really a poindexter?

In the gaming community WoW is like crack...all other games just past time. WoW...you never come back from. Enjoy your straw hut with an internet connection, but don't play WoW!

Whatevs. Nerds are hot.

I agree with Ms Kiyum...nerds, particularly thinking nerds, are hot. If they glow in the dark, that makes it just that much better.....

Oh, I'm not saying poindexters can't be hot. A very few are.

I just broke loose from WoW.

There's nothing wrong with BCGs Jamie just wrote a post about how much she loves them!
