Come on, Arrogant RI Nerds!

Stand up for your Identity!

This tag suddenly appeared. On Boxing Day, nonetheless. What a way to spread the festive Cheer.

-.- They aren't funny at all... I find them damn lame... Go find something better to do.. -.- At least when you arrogant RI nerds are studying, others can have fun and not feel disgusted at you nerds. Go get an attitude change.. I know not all RI students are like that but most of them are. For arrogant ass f**k nerds, this is for you. GO GET F**KED

Actually, I've just been reading Nostradamus (ancient astrologer and false prophet) so I thought I'd analyze your tag like people analyze Nostradamus' Quatrains. Which, in case you didn't know, is a sort of 4-line poem.

1. They aren't funny at all... I find them damn lame...

Perhaps what passerby is trying to say here is that he is not entertained by our comics. No double meaning there. This first line is (thankfully) quite clear cut.

2. Go find something better to do.. -.- At least when you arrogant RI nerds are studying, others can have fun and not feel disgusted at you nerds.

Based on the little I remember from Dennis Au's Philosophy Lessons, this statement (we'll label it S1) is based on several shaky premises. But first, definitions.

"Nerd" - a geek is any smart person with an obsessive interest, a nerd is the same but also lacks social grace, and a dweeb is a mega-nerd
"Others" - probably implies non-arrogant, non-RI, non-nerds.

P1: RI has arrogant nerds.
P2: Nigel, SungMing, and 'Oyster' are arrogant nerds.
P3: RI nerds study
P4: 'Others' can only have fun when arrogant RI nerds are busy studying.

As you can see, all 4 premises are intrinsically flawed. Firstly, P1; Nerd negates Arrogant. Arrogant connotates confidence, and Nerds lack social grace. Therefore, one cannot be both Arrogant and a Nerd simultaneously. Perhaps we're like shapeshifters. I can already imagine the movie tagline.

COMING TO CINEMAS 2008! IT'S (dramatic pause) SHAPESHIFTERS! NERDS BY DAY, ARROGANT BY NIGHT.

I'm sorry, passerby, but I kinda lose your argument at P1 already.

Nehmind, move on to P2.

It's already been stated above that one cannot be Arrogant and a Nerd. However, I will further disprove P2 by stating with utmost confidence that Nigel and SumgMing are by no means Nerds. Both have no trouble relating with peers, and as much as they share a common obsessive interest (compliant to above definition), they hardly qualify as Nerds at all. (I've never met Oyster, but I'll bet he's no nerd.)

SungMing and Nigel are, however, quite arrogant.

BUT OYSTER IS NOT.

When he posted his mega-poweful and professional Anime comic, the only text written was "Everyone see and give me your comments". Despite the obvious quality of his comic, Oyster chose to remain humble.

P3 is perhaps the most reliable premise of the 4. And it is true. Barry Tng and Nigel Fong are constantly spotted in the Library, doing (what else) serious mugging. After EOYs. "Who would do such a thing?" You might ask. RI nerds. But, as postulated above, Neither of the 3 blog authors are nerds.

In contrast to it's predecessor P3, P4 is the most outrageously funny premise of the lot. I don't think I need to explain why, but let's have a bit of a laugh at it, shall we?

P4: 'Others' can only have fun when arrogant RI nerds are busy studying.

Of course, we know that once P1/P2/P3 falls, P4 Cannot Possibly Be True or correct, since it is based on the preceding 3. Nevertheless, I fail to see how RI nerds deter anyone from having fun by not studying. Somebody, please. Enlighten me. It is a universal truth of the ages: If 2 groups do not make contact (direct o indirect), there is no way they can possibly influence each other.

That is to say, even if I put Metallica right next to a geriatric old lady with Heart problems and liver spots next to each other, as long as there's a sound proof wall between them, the Band can play DeathMetal and the lady will go feed some birds. Get my drift?

If 'Others' never come into contact with RI nerds, how can RI nerds affect 'Others'' ability to have fun? Huh? Huh!?

3. Go get an attitude change.. I know not all RI students are like that but most of them are.

Fundamental flaw: You have commited a fallacy known as "Poisoning The Well". It undermines your credibility and tarnishes your reputation. Of course, everyone would benefit from an attitude change. Including you, passerby. You insult-flinging non-believing anti-studying psuedo-intellectual tagboard SCUM!

Okay, I'm sorry. I take it all back.







NOT.

4. For arrogant ass f**k nerds, this is for you. GO GET F**KED

Really, now. Then it's not for me. Nor is it for anyone else that reads this blog. I'm curious, though. I'd really like to see an example of an "ass f**ck nerd".

Oh, and look again at what you've done. Read what you've written. In the end, I'm sure your mother would have been very very proud.
