Everyone knows a nerd. He’s the guy who is way too into Star Wars. He can talk about computers only using letters. He doesn’t have the best fashion sense, and may even have a slightly pale complexion from long hours indoors. But even this guy wants to be cool.
Who doesn’t? I mean, no one actually goes out with the intention of looking “nerdy”. For those who do, it seems that the way they look and the things they talk about aren’t priorities that match up to each other. I’m not suggesting, though, that those who are well dressed only talk about clothes. It’s just that for the true “nerd”, fashion is not typically a top priority!
But these guys have feelings, too and probably some social goals as well. While they may spend most of their time organizing their Star Wars action figures or chatting with fellow “trekkies” online, at some point, they begin to see a need for some actual human interaction.
But what to do? The nerd’s apartment is most likely set-up to indulge his obsessions – be they computer, game systems or action figures. How can this guy help himself in the social department without selling out? While it may seem next to impossible, it can be done. I have three words for you: air hockey tables.
That’s right, an air hockey table is just enough to rescue even the most hopeless nerd from the morass of nerdiness. A game or two of air hockey is fun, is active, and is something anyone can do. Tables come in all sizes, from 4- to 8-foot lengths. There is certain to be one for any nerd’s apartment.
Nerds need exercise, just like everyone else. A few games of air hockey are enough to break a sweat, and are fun besides. When a nerd has his friends over to discuss the latest release of Star Wars guys, to play a round of D&D, or the check out a new “trekkie” costume, they can take a break by having a go at the games table.
When the nerds are in dispute over Kirk or Picard as the better Star Fleet captain, a friendly game of air hockey can help to settle the matter. If the nerds are the gambling type, they can play some air hockey – making it interesting by putting up some original action figures or an autographed poster.
Trekkies can even dress in their favorite costumes and hold Star Trek Tournaments. Settle the battle once and for all between the Romulans and the Klingons with a friendly game of air hockey.
Air hockey tables are great. One can be found to fit almost anywhere and almost anyone could afford one. They are priced from as little as $80-$100 all the way up to about $2,000. No matter how nerdy your favorite nerd might be, a little air hockey can go a long way towards helping your own hopeless nerd be a little cooler.
