How You Know You're Too Much Of A Nerd
king3vbo | 9:10 AM on 02.26.2008 45 comments


When you see this:


And the first thing to pop into your head is this:


Then you begin to laugh histerically inside of a Borders bookstore, only to be asked by an employee: "Do you need any sort of help sir? You're freaking out the other customers"

LarkOhiya's Destructoid Blog
thats not the first thing that comes to everyones mind?
Kryptinite's Destructoid Blog
LOL.....that's hilarious! I'm guess I'm on the safe side of nerdville, I didn't make that connection.
Scape's Destructoid Blog
Same thing happened to me. But then again Pokemon was really, really popular..really.
Seth338's Destructoid Blog
The first thing that came to my mind was "what an awesome monopoly board"
ShawnKelfonne's Destructoid Blog
Ehhhhh.... I'd hold out for the Steelix edition myself.
aborto thefetus's Destructoid Blog
The first thing that came to my mind was "waste of money."

Seriously, how many fucking monopoly boards do we need?
TNTv's Destructoid Blog
I'm scared.
Surf314's Destructoid Blog
The first thing I thought of is it's too pretty to throw against a wall. I hate Monopoly like an Irish hit man hates Bruges. But I've been there before. Me and a friend were in a Walmart looking for toy light sabers so we asked a clerk and then suddenly realized we were too old for them. The guy gave us a weird look so my friend blurted out "it's uhh for my brother Tim." It was of course around Christmas so he couldn't help adding "we call him tiny Tim because, he's uhh really short." And then I couldn't help adding "yea and that damn scrooge won't let him have one." And then we ran away because we were laughing way too hard and I think the guy was about to call security.
Gaeamil's Destructoid Blog
Sooooo... WHY shouldn't that be the first thing to pop into your mind?

lol, I know. That did make me laugh, though.
blehman's Destructoid Blog
Is the answer "bewbs"? Or, wait, wait, "b00bs"...
stevephoenix's Destructoid Blog
sir this is pure win.

i take my hat and monocle off to you.
BluDesign's Destructoid Blog
I agree with bleh.

Then again, everything makes me think of bewbs.
shipero's Destructoid Blog
This guy has the same problem. Although it could be argued that being a biologist is a good indicator of being a too much of a nerd in and of itself.



tazarthayoot's Destructoid Blog
NERD NERD NERD NERD NERD
NihonTiger90's Destructoid Blog
LOL, I thought of that, too.
gotdurnrite's Destructoid Blog
I don't get it. Is that thing's name Onyx?
Neonie's Destructoid Blog
That's actually the first thing I think of everytime I hear the word Onyx.
king3vbo's Destructoid Blog
Its not JUST the pokemon Onyx, but the top hat and cane and monocle that made it so funny to me
gotdurnrite's Destructoid Blog
Oooooooooooh. That's a pokemon named Onyx. Either I'm too old or not a big enough nerd.

It's probably a mix of the too.
Tragic Hero's Destructoid Blog
Thats pretty funny. I wonder if the Onyx edition of Monopoly sucks as bad as the Onyx pokemon though. Seriously, Onyx is nearly as worthless as farfetch'd
Samson's Destructoid Blog
Who's that Pokemon!?

It's the Monopoly Guy!
flynsk's Destructoid Blog
Ha!

The first thing I thought was that you could put a Ouija board under the clear part and play MonopOuija.
blehman's Destructoid Blog
Also, whenever I hear or see the word onyx I think of "Slam".
bloodylip's Destructoid Blog
blehman wins.
Samit Sarkar's Destructoid Blog
Ahahaha, that’s awesome...I thought of just the Pokémon, but the top hat and monocle really make it that much better. You know what’s really bad? Walking around New York City listening to RFGO! or Podtoid. It’s really hard to keep myself from laughing out loud, and then people give me these strange looks like I’m going insane...
Snaileb 's Destructoid Blog
And Im not buying another Monopoly until they invent a better way to hold your cash. Im still pulling Monopoly money out of my cushions circa 1989.
HarassmentPanda's Destructoid Blog
@blehman

I thought the same thing! I saw the "Onyx Edition" at Barnes & Noble one day and I thought it was going to be some badass rap edition of Monopoly... no such luck. It was black though.
Rockvillian's Destructoid Blog
@Snail

A good monopoly player has his own methods - I stick them under the board, and I'm thinking I'll start actually putting it in my wallet, for realness!
BlindsideDork's Destructoid Blog
Wait, Jim Sterling is a Pokemon?
Tragic Hero's Destructoid Blog
@Snaileb

They have a special edition monopoly where the transactions are done through credit card. So there really isn't anymore money instead you just swipe a card when you pay taxes or buy a property
vexed alex's Destructoid Blog
...That's the first thing I thought of....

STERLING ONIX FTW!
nademagnet's Destructoid Blog
I can honestly say that I have never played a Pokemon game.
srfmrf007's Destructoid Blog
blehman...let the boys be be boys. Slam da da da
Guagloves's Destructoid Blog
LOL

Onyx w/ Monocle is WIN
vexed alex's Destructoid Blog
@ nademagnet

I feel so sorry for you. Pick up the DS one.
Knives's Destructoid Blog
"Fancy monopoly looks fancy", that's the first thing I thought. Then i laughed with the monocle equipped Onyx .
Snaileb 's Destructoid Blog
I want a monopoly wallet for my play money.
PrinceofCannedPeaches's Destructoid Blog
Omigod, that rocksnake looks like Jim!
Dexter345's Destructoid Blog
I'll admit, that's what I thought of too.
Urashima's Destructoid Blog
Used a MONOCLE on Onyx.

WHAT...ONYX IS EVOLVING?!?

ONYX EVOLVED INTO YE OLDE ONYX!

NOW YE OLDE ONYX, USE ROCKSLIDE!

"...'at's a'bunch'a rubbish. I'm headin' down to the Footy match, I've got seats that are in the middle of the pitch, eh wot."
Necros's Destructoid Blog
This is amazing.
PwnDaddy's Destructoid Blog
That's pretty funny, I'll still wait on the kids Chemistry Set that lets you do equations about half-life and radioactivity.
MatCD's Destructoid Blog
Dude, Onyx is TIGHT! Why the hell isn't he in Brawl?!?!?
