Awoogah! Awoogah! Nerd Alert!

I am an avowed Simpson-a-holic. I purchase each new season as it arrives on DVD. I watch the episodes, I often watch the extras. I am familiar with large amounts of the trivia...the in-jokes, the freeze-frame gags, the hidden references (writers showing up as background characters, random appearances of Groenig's Life in Hell cartoon, etc.) I repeat phrases from the show, adopt catch-phrases, etc. I am a nerd. I admit to it freely, proudly and without reservation.

But I will never, under any circumstances, be as big a nerd as this guy: His campaign is being done in Klingon?

Of course, like most clouds, this one has a silver lining; whatever he says will be less insulting than most things you hear from politicians. Even though he is still probably lying with every word, this time you won't understand it. I guess I have to vote for him now...
