Why it sucks to have married a nerd

Faced with a choice between vacation spot A and vacation spot B:

Nerd: Yay! I've been wanting to go back to the North Pole. It was so much fun last time.
IG:  Erm. But Kauai is surrounded by water that we could actually swim in. Without, you know, freezing to death?
Nerd: Pffffft, we can go to Hawaii anytime. The polar ice is melting now.

Fuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuck.

I think that's the hot cabana boy now. With my mai tai.

I thought *he* was the one pushing for Kauai??? Remind him that in Kauai you won't be wearing many clothes - nerds love that sort of thing!!

[that was cold]

uhhhh wanna borrow my parka? (I'll slip some Absolut in the inside pocket)

He was pushing for Kauai vs. California. But apparently romping on a beach in Kauai with me is meh compared to romping on the ice with some polar bears. OMG. I give up. :-P

Effin nerds. I know this is the price we have to pay for the extreme sexiness of all those brains coming out of their ears, but sometimes you just have to strangle them. WTF!

It's that pesky global warming thing. It seems to have irresistible nerd appeal. They're all peeing their pants to go up there and measure the ice that's left.

dude tell them that they are only making things worse with their body heat and stomping all over the place.

*siiiiighh* Thanks.

Oh man....
Well, at least you don't have to get all swim-suit ready.
Unless you find a really revealing parka.

What about the POI? And the Slow cooked Hawaiian Kalua Pig? You can't get that in the pole up North!

They're all peeing their pants to go up there and measure the ice that's left.

And you're peeing your pants for a nice tropical beach, which would be good for Mr. IG as well, and far less costly, what with not having to buy Arctic gear for you and....

Check these crazy mofos out--they are one of the groups my organization funds.

Malta.

You did not just link to that. WTF! Are you serious? And how can I get a piece of whatever you're giving them?? :-O
IG
I know, right?? The arctic gear alone...omg, even if I do borrow Cranky's parka... I'm basically going to spend the cost of the Kauai trip on a space suit so I don't freeze to death. Waugh.
IG
LOL! But there may be nerds in Malta too... :-?

Aw, now that's just mean! We'll probably have to hunt our own food. :-S

mmm, slow roasted baby seal...

Clearly, this is when you send him back to the frozen wastes and you go to Kauai.

Isn't the same global warming going to make parts of Hawaii under water? Like, the beachy parts? HA! Try that fact on him. It might not be there any time either.

Luckily, if given the choice between these 2, my nerd would be all about the sunblock and whole dead pig.
lauowolf
Uh oh....
Once you invest in polar gear doesn't that entail a return trip, so as to get your money's worth out of it?
I'm thinking Christmas at Santa's workshop....
You may never get warm again.

Um two words silk long johns. For that matter, any underlayer with silk and a couple sets of merino wool long johns. I know I said wool but this is very nice soft wool Well worth the price. You can wear the silk underneath and still not feel like you are totally bundled up. Also REI sells silk sock liners cheaper than anyone I have seen so far. Silk sock liners go under your wool socks and keep your tootsies toasty and if the socks are cheap wool keep the wool from scratching. Personally I love the cold and would happily go with your geek to the north pole. You could go on the cruise to the Caribbean with my geek.

Ooooooh, geek swap! Things just. got. interrrrresting. >:-D

Geek Swap!

This is going to a whole new area.
IG
It's an intriguing concept. Anyone interested in participating, please refer to the original geek types to confirm that your geek qualifies in at least one major category. LOL.

LT's right. Separate vacations would be ensuing if Karin tried to drag me to the North Pole not once but twice.
Austin1234
WTF...the north pole....penquins, polar bears and ice caps...oh my!
IG
Now for the record, when you take LSCB on a vacation, it's like -- Vegas, five-star dinners, spa packages and no-holds-barred shopping sprees, right? See...your momma brought you up right!
Austin1234
Okay, okay...I'll take you to vegas too....

Well, see, I didn't go with him the first time. So I think he feels that I missed out, LOL. And, honestly I think I'd enjoy going, once. It would be a genuine adventure. But if we have to choose between the North Pole and Hawaii? Uhhh... that's a no-brainer to me. But he's completely serious about preferring Resolute. When he told me last night, it was one of those moments in every marriage where your mind just goes: WTF! Do I even know this person? *siiigh* He's awfully cute though...
e2c
How about reminding him that you guys can't afford to lose a 2nd pair of glasses? ;)
e2c
oh, and you could remind him of what he missed out on while you were in the PI, lounging around in Marge's house, on the beach, etc. etc.

It seems to me that Kauai would be FAR more convenient for ... well, do I ahve to say it?! ;-)
David Bobavid
lol!! but i bet going to the north pole will be a really cool trip!
Slide Champagne
Well, Dy and I are missing almost seeing you in Marin.

Geek Swap sounds good to me. As long as I get to go somewhere warm, I don't care, I'll go with kaq9 or IG, whatever.

I don't believe the North Frigging Pole is covered under any marriage vows anywhere. I'd rather stay home with the Bad Bunny.
IG
"Geek Swap sounds good to me." LOL. And for seriously misbehaving geeks, I believe sKZ just posted a very clever chain mail proposal that might work, too.

OMFG...what the hell happened to my link?? I TOTALLY did not mean to link to some crazy-ass Bible website. I meant these crazy mofos.
