Girl with a perl earring

Nerd humour from Neatorama, ar ar ar. Girl With a Perl Earring

I write books. My latest is a YA science fiction novel called Homeland (it's the sequel to Little Brother). More books: Rapture of the Nerds (a novel, with Charlie Stross); With a Little Help (short stories); and The Great Big Beautiful Tomorrow (novella and nonfic). I speak all over the place and I tweet and tumble, too.

If I’m a geek for getting the joke, what is implied by the fact that this image is most notable to me as one of the original demo images used to show off the Amiga?

Using the entire cover is spelling the joke out. Real nerds would get it if it was just the camel.

*groans* that is terrible, and yet hilarious at the same time.

Hey! I am proud to be a nerdy geek. Now I don’t go to the meetings any more, and I only played D&D once in high school (and didn’t inhale).

I do watch “The Big Bang Theory” and I get all of the jokes, and read all of Chuck’s vanity cards.

This is my favorite reproduction of our favorite earing model:

I’ve seen the original and I code in perl.

It takes a special kind of geek to get this one. I sent the link to my boyfriend, and belatedly realized he probably won’t recognize the painting.

…but it doesn’t even look like Scarlett Johansson- I saw that movie.
