I am in the process of introducing my wife to all aspects of nerd culture that she was deprived of as a child. It began when we were dating (X-Files, The Simpsons) and has progressed through some of the later Star Trek series (though her Shatner-tolerance is still woefully lacking). But I still haven’t gotten her to what was the core of my nerdy youth: comic books. (I figure that at least half of the money that went through my fingers from ages 9-15 was spent on comic books.) That is why I dedicate the post to NerdMom, in hopes that someday she will come to understand that the following youtube clip is the greatest thing that the Internet has ever put before my eyes.
