    I am a pretty typical nerd/geek, except that I love partying my face off.

    In my mid 30s, with a wife and twin 3 year olds. I wear superhero t-shirts to work most days, even though everyone else at my level wears button down shirts and slacks. I am a pretty typical eccentric nerd, until you get me to a few drinks.

    What, a guy with a Miller Lite box on his head can't be a nerd?

    Quoted from Pinball-is-great:

    Does volunteering on occasional local trash clean-ups go under the nerd category or cool category,

    Definitely the cool category.

    Quoted from DCfoodfreak:

    I assumed I would run in to a bunch of partiers in the hobby but have realized most seem to be very technical engineer types.

    Just let me know when it's time to throw down. (Even though I actually am an engineer).

    I have gone through extensive training sessions.

    Lol, Respect that!!

    Pretty sure I will be training this evening as well, lol.

    Let's do some real nerdy shit and have a pinside pinball party, purely online.
