The Nerd Handbook

"A nerd needs a project because a nerd builds stuff. All the time. Those lulls in the conversation over dinner? That’s the nerd working on his project in his head.

Well, someone took this clip from Sesame Street made for preschoolers and made it kind of NSFW. It bleeps out the word "count" in order to make you think the Count is really saying something else. I'll let you figure out what that word is for yourself. Though you might want to turn the volume down a little. It's not hard to figure out what they are bleeping out.
