Local college student Dylan Thomas realized in English today that he knows way too much about the British television series Doctor Who despite not being a fan.
“I was just sitting in English and the teacher commented that opening up a history books is like trip in the TARNIS with the Doctor. I corrected him that it was the TARDIS and then I died a little on the inside.” Thomas, a self confessed nerd who doesn’t actually care for the show ended up only making the situation worse.
“As soon as that class got out a few other people asked what my favorite episode of the series was and if I liked the originalseries more and who my favorite Doctor was. I just lied and said ‘Captain Archer,’ and then ran off.”
Thomas confessed that his knowledge mostly comes from his roommate John who “sits around all day watching the series and complaining about it with his friends.”
“I come home after night class and there he is watching some episode with horrible costumes since the start of the class. I once commented an episode looked interesting and then next thing I knew I’d fallen asleep 4 hours in and I was late for class. It’s not healthy.”
Thomas’ grades have been steadily dropping the quarter. “I just can’t focus on homework. That show – he just plays it incredibly loud. I don’t even know how he gets work done.”
Thomas has filed to move rooms and has even invited the RAs to examine the scenario but can’t find anything wrong.
“It’s like he has some perception filter so other people don’t get annoyed by him. I just don’t who what to do.”

No Secret Convention Items Post This Week
Due to our convention reporter getting caught up in some sort of angry Doctor Who related stampede at a convention that seeks to disenfranchise nerds as reasonable people who can only breed with other nerds, we are currently out of Secret Convention Items. Join us next week when we resume with coverage of the Marvel Mustache Collection. For now, more rage about an episode of Grey’s Anatomy, “What Is It About Men”.
I mean a show like Grey’s Anatomy doesn’t really point to any positive factors about nerds interacting. I mean the entire idea is that nerds would stampede over other nerds for a chance at a free Russell T Davies signed TARDIS but the thing is at a convention not every nerd cares about Doctor Who, most would not risk their lives and then try and hurt their friends. Or if you are going to do that, try and make some more positive nerds appear in the episode. I mean the one nerd who saves a doctor finds that he can’t like her because she doesn’t like everything he likes and so he goes onto the next nerdy girl who references that she get what he speaks about. Meanwhile to asses are angry because one lost an ear going for the TARDIS and the other one got it and they get all angry about a ridiculous circumstance. Considering that there are no positive openly nerdy characters I see this as a further example of prejudice against nerds in a show about people who memorize surgeries and have crazy doctor sex. What the hell television.
At least it wasn’t Big Bang Theory though.
