What truly is a NERD?

I think we all know by now what the acronym NERD stands for. But what does it really mean? Let me enlighten you. NERD is about passion and glory. It is about looking a sworn enemy in the eye and taking them in as your best friend. It is about generations brought together by a common thread. NERD is about pride for your state, for your town, for your country, for the world. It is about unification at its best. As NERDS we realize that it "is not about the size of the dog in the fight, but the size of the fight in the dog". We are louder and prouder of who we are, and who our neighbor is than any other.

As NERDS we will be heard.

And it will be loud my friends.

Its only a matter of time.

-Andy Grady

NERDS '06' Not just black and white, but a state of mind.

Re: What truely is a NERD?

The suspense builds...

When can we expect NERD to be unveiled?

Re: What truely is a NERD?

I guess I'm a NERD by association then, right?

Uh oh. What if I already know?

Seekith you must,
for intimations for NERDs
existith they do.
The bona fide at heart will find it,
and they will know it too.

Like the spirit of New England,
embodied in us NERDs is,
waiting to spring forth
unexpenctantly at you.

Only by being a genuine NERD,
will the cognizance of NERDs
come to fruition;
and so it will seem
like normal intuition.

Also very very correct.

Oh and Greg to answer your question...when you least expect it. Oh and yes...you will definately know.

Re: What truely is a NERD?

my best guess is that nerd means nastily exausting rail driver.

this means that a rail driver-a motor that drives a turret linked by a rail.

so nerd is a battery waster

Nope, NERD stands for New England Robotics Division.

Andy Grady originally had this idea for NERDs... and I kinda know about it... but until it officially come out, I won't say any more.

Re: What truely is a NERD?

You don't have to be part of NERD to be a NERD inside. I know i'm a NERD and always will be a NERD... then again official membership never hurt anyone.

Which Gilford are you from? You may be a NERD without even knowing it.
