Nerd Fun Boston is hosting another Intellectual Snob discussion and debate. Join fellow self-proclaimed nerds (in the true Intellectual Snob tradition as usual) poo- poo things that are disapprove of. You don't have to be a genuine intellectual-- pseudo-intellectuals are also welcome. All you need is an aloof attitude full of irony or some baffling ideas, or some unanswered metaphysical question you try & get answered incognito.


PLEASE BRING CASH to help your patient & hard working waitstaff. No requirement to order food & yes they have a limited beer selection.


IMPORTANT: Please wear your finest fake mustaches for this event. For others who cannot afford them, free fake mustaches will be distributed to the needy. (Disclaimer: no one is required to wear one, we pledge equality for all).


Humor in good taste-- ALLOWED.
Intellectual apparel: ALLOWED.
Startle the waitstaff with a goatee, Periwig, or monocle. Fold-up sunglasses, corduroy jackets with elbow patches-- ALLOWED.
No Meerschaum tobacco pipes, please. Absinthe is not served.


Here's the list of suggestions of things that we could do without:
--Intellectual Snobs.
--certain personalities we could do without (specify).
--"sports" which include brawls
--ingredients once called "artificial flavors" now called "natural flavors" or "spices";
--1- ply toilet paper
--TV stations which raise the volume when there are ads,
--weather forecasters calling snow flurries "storm systems"
--bicyclists wearing dark clothes with no lights at night or helmets
--stores making $5 on a purchase requiring the customer to make exact change on a cash total of $10.01.
--fake internet sites with pop-up ads
--very heavy wheelchair "accessible" electronic doors which don't work.
--unintelligible subway "T" employees, way over-amplified & repeating the same info between stations as if it is a play-by-play to the point that no one can talk or even think
--unlabeled additives in wine (there are dozens)
--live TV reporters sent to remote/ non greater-area Boston locations where there is the most extreme weather to comment on the severity of weather events whereas most viewers live in Boston
--music stations that continue playing the same songs over & over until you can't stand them any more
--obnoxious car horns. Why can't cars play a sweet melody to say "please do you mind moving out of the way", instead of "move it, idiot"!
--recent legislation in Massachusetts outlawing electric bicycles
--Local news i.e. police log plus weather plus celebrity report
--The planned cloning of a Woolly Mammoth from DNA found from fossils (yes, really)


Location:
