so, heather and i were watching revenge of the nerds. not too much on tv tonight. anyhow, about fifteen minutes in, the nerds get kicked out of their dorm and are staying in the gym. enter into the scene, boy genius, harold wormser.
what does heather say? "that's eleanor!"*
now, in her (heather's) defense, eleanor is a smart young lady. she went to uc berkeley @ like 10 years old. okay, maybe it was 16. or 17. hey, i'm not her biographer.
and there is this:
compared with this:
i wish i could have found a picture of young wormser doing aerobics in a sweet leotard outfit.
i know eleanor rented a room @ a frat one summer. maybe it was lambda lambda lambda.
* disclosure - heather says, "i didn't say that for posting on the world wide web!" that joker.
btw, no one is really safe until nerd persecution ends.

In Elenore's and my defense, I was struck not so much by the visual similarities (expect the haircut) but by the story similarities.
the story being a super smart youngster going to college, being dropped off by her parents. which neither know if her parents did. in fact, i doubt they walked her on to campus explaining why she needed to go to college. and not that eleanor was in a nerd fraternity. more smart kid with funny haircut.
Oh man, I wish I had such a snazzy bow tie.
what did your glasses look like back then?
Actually that was about a year before I got my first pair. Oval, with thin black wire frames.
