so, a couple years ago, when jeff and my love was new, we took our first vacation together to montreal. while riding our bikes up the scenic hills, we saw what appeared to be about 100 mostly male nerds between the ages of 8-45, yielding long wrapping paper tubes and wearing what looked like looped tshirts with the sides cut off and buckets for helmets. they appeared to be having some sort of war, but of course, there could be no winner in this war.
looking around iwatchstuff.com, there's apparently a documentary on these folks, and what they were doing was acting out role playing games. so, imagine a 31 yr old nerd saying, "i want to be a third level wizard", then dressing up, and then someone else validating the fact that he
is in face a third level wizard.
anyhoo, i got great excitement out of this because it had always been a mystery. i get that they were nerds with wrapping paper tubes, but they had a purpose and a dream, that i will never truly understand.
my love, jeff, has found actual video footage of the montreal nerd in action (the most action they'll ever get! HEYOOO!! am i right? am i right?).
