CULTURE/SOCIETY: When I Realized How Big a Dork and Science Geek I Am

This is OlderMusicGeek, not a reprinted article. :)

I was reminded the other day of when I realized how much of a dork and science geek I am. Yesterday, NPR - National Public Radio - was announcing the winners of one of the Nobel Prizes, and they were American, so I went, "Yesss!"

And it reminded of something I did a couple of years back. NPR was talking about how a large majority of the Nobel Prize winners were American that year.

I started chanting, "U.S.A.! U.S.A.!"

Now I'm not the type who watches sports, so I've never really chanted this before. Then it hit me that I was doing this for, of all things, the Nobel Prizes!

And suddenly it was, "U.S.A.! U.S.......?"

And if I hadn't been driving, I'm sure I would have held my head in shame.
