The Nerdies 2009
What fun I’ve had, truly. This first week back at work for most of us would have been dull, eventless and yawn inducing but I have been kept in stitches and on my toes with nom-nom’s pouring in through my twitter account, emails, blog and even dreams. Last night I totally dreamt that Saul smashed Marcel over the head to jump up onto a stage and steal the (non existant) Nerdies09 Trophy!
I’d like to firstly thank the sponsors for being so forthcoming with the prizes on offer. Each Nerdy Boy and Girl will receive the following when they win:
- A limited edition Moral Fibre T-shirt full of goodness, flair & attitude.
- One .co.za domain plus THREE MONTHS free hosting from The Creative Foundation by Byron Rode.
- A luxury Body Thrills hamper homemade especially by ExMi for each individual.
- Free Dinner at Capello Sandton from Garsen Subramoney to the value of R300.
The Nerdies have sparked controversy, jealousy, laughter, ego wars and even half nudies. It’s been a rollercoaster ride of competitiveness in this circle jerking world of ours, and I hate to admit it but I couldn’t have actually topped myself if I tried when it comes to bringing out these online nerdies egos. Its been amusing to no end.
I have a few Nom-nom’s that win my WTF! award, its nothing really aside from the prestigeous notion that you made me literally laugh out loud:
- Steve and his “non gay” nom-nom of Don, because Don apparently has style and a brilliant sense of humour. I’ll second that, the dude does stand up comedy for gawds sake.
- Yusuf for repeatedly trying to nominate me and denying that it was for bribery purposes.
- Stew because he sincerely wanted to nominate bacon and then got rather miffed that no one else seconded his nom-nom.
- Blade for confidently nominating himself (you’ll be happy to know you weren’t alone, others nom-nommed you too honey). And finally,
- ExMi because she totally transformed into a pimp, came out of the real-face closet and and changed her online profile pic to something porno that her mommy would cry if seen. I owe you a blog post of love for taking me up on my challenge, chickie, I realise this.
The Nom-noms are in and we’re ready to show you the Nomnominees that you need to vote for, but first a list of those who were punted, but didn’t make the cut of between a minimum of 2 or 5 nominations or more. Sorry for you lot, I told you to tell your mates. You never listen to me! And the nominees are:

I make jeremy nell proud

@shebeegee I am not giving up
Didnt you see I even blogged it on my personal and business blog – the fring blog, hehe
http://blog.fring.com/southafrica/index.php/2009/01/08/fring-blogger-in-top-position-at-nerdies09/
Btw – looks like everyone is bidding on something so why don’t I make something available from my side. I have an old and sweaty limited edition one of its kind fring Tshirt, this is the first fring tshirt ever be worn in South Africa? The winning bidder will receive the unwashed stinky Tshirt and I will even throw in a bonus a new sexy limit edition USB 1Gig fring flash drive.
I wonder what pps are willing to bid for this amazing stuff..
lol
woo! Simon why don’t you donate the flash drive as a prize rather and let us keep the bidding for personal items?
i bet twenty bucks on the fring shirt, bitches, its mine!!!
shebee, i see your bid on my twitter shirt and raise you R40 plus the undies i was wearing over my pants in the pic… which i will also wear to 27dinner if i win the Nerdies.
If this is for charity I’ll bid R100 for @ExMi’s shirt and tie… bring it @Byron (heehee).
Since I like to give. I will up my bid to R200 for @ExMi’s shirt and tie.
Thanx for the bid @shebeegee.
I was actually thinking of doing a charity event.
So lets seperate the bids.
1 for the tshirt and
1. for the flashdrive.
The catch is that every bid must be paid into the pot, so even if you loose the bid, you need to hand over the cash, that way the jackpot gets bigger and bigger and some lucky charity will benefit in the end. I will still need to sit down and pick a charity.
What you think of that idea?
I will flickr the prizes soon and link to them from here..
@Byron well played mate *handshake*. I’m willing to donate me bid of R100 to charity, also.
Ok start your bidding on simonB the fring masters stuff today.
Item 1. My old and stinky fring tshirt: http://flickr.com/photos/terra-cam/3179105577/
Item 2. A limited edition 1Gig fring flash drive: http://flickr.com/photos/terra-cam/3179940328/
Read the terms before bidding.
Whoop Whoop.
Thanks Martin. That would be fantastic
100 bucks to strip Heidi out of her SuperGoose SnowGirl outfit, first t-shirt, then doondies and save the mask for last!
Ok ok, so if this is for charity, I’ll raise my bid on Mike’s fuzz to 50 ront. Can I suggest a charity I know of in Cape Town, home for kids, husband and wife team who have taken in 40 wee kiddies and get jack in terms of funding, have been involved with them for a while, they’re poor as dirt mice, but them kids are rich as kings for being with Virginia and Oliver …. just a thought? In fact, on that note, I’ll make it a 100 ront bid …
