With my C64 arriving in 9th grade, and my being a pretty good wrestler, I was both.

My sophomore year, when getting a ride from my state champion teammate, I don't know what I said, but he just turned to me and said,

"McCall, you're a neeeerrrrrd."

It wasn't bullying, because I've never been bullied, but I was -- and am -- a nerd.

And, yeah, "Real Genius" got a lot of play on HBO back then. I especially loved the Lazlo storyline, and "Everybody Wants to Rule the World" is such a GREAT song.
