By a long time I mean they started in high school, and continued while they were in college, just like The Mike Lawrence.

This of course would only work for the younger demographic, but does anyone agree or disagree with this thought?

I think non-nerds who stay in the job for so long end up in jail for slangin at their establishment.

I was the only nerd that I knew there that stayed longer than six months. There was this one guy who thought wrestling was real, but I don't know if I'd count him as a nerd or even count him as a person. He once said, and I quote "There's no way Randy Orton can beat the Undertaker,because Randy Orton is a man and Undertaker has mystical powers".That guy was the closest thing I had to a friend there.

I will say that there is a correlation between me being a nerd and being at Mcdonalds so long that you can easily trace listening to the podcast and that would be that I stick around longer than I should. The same feeling that I got going to Elektra opening weekend was the feeling that I got clocking in for work. I had to be there. There are the genuine fun moments of being a nerd but there's a lot of crap that goes with it. For every Batman the Animated Series there's a "The Batman". And I watched every episode of both, because I had to. It's Batman, how could I not? The high of the highs will always make the lows worthwhile, but my god are there a lot of lows.

Well this answers my question about whether you are as much into DC as Marvel.

Did I mention I love mike lawrence as a guest, I vote for a Myq and Mike episode

Personally i love Batman, like much less superman. The rest leaves me cold.

MArvel has more likeable characters but no real stand-out. Spider Man maybe, but i never got into spider man.

Yes and repeatedly and i treasure it like gold.

But other superman stories just dont do it for me.

I like most Batman stories, even the less stellar ones.

Yeah, writers never seem to know what to do with the character. It's hard to write a dramatic story for an invincible nice guy.

D'you ever listen to the Dollar Bin Show? Open question to all people with wangs and unimpressive midriffs.

i love, though the stories where Superman and Batman face each other.

Even that godforsaken abomination called "All Stars Batman and Robin"

That line.... "The reason i know i can beat him isnt in the gadget or the superpowers. The reason is that deep down Clark is a good person. And i'm not"

The only line i loved in that turd.
