    The coinage "nerdfury" is great, written. It's only drawback is that it's kind of hard to say. I guess because all the consonants are soft. Still, I'm glad for it. Thanks for the link. Bourdain has become such a ubiquitous star that he really ought to be lazy and coasting by now. Yet I still find him fresh, funny, and believably self-effacing most of the time.

    FWIW, a tee shirt bearing the LTH logo with the phrase "organized nerdfury" is one I'd totally buy.

    We love the term "nerdfury"; to us it sums up perfectly the type of vitriolic debate that can occur on sites like this one, LTHForum and Chowhound. In fact, we think LTHForum's Great Neighborhood Restaurants could aptly be described as organized nerdfury; a bunch of foodies debating which under-appreciated neighborhood restaurant is the best, until they decide that all of them are worth visiting.


    This is soooo on target.
