The Geek Prom is like one of those movies where the nerd gets to do high school over (without the “this sucks” part.)

Ben Fisher-Merritt is not only the 2003 Geek Prom King, he was also runner-up for king in 2002. He’s so geeky that as soon as his spotlight dance with the queen geek was over, he announced he had to leave the prom early to get to a Dungeons & Dragons game. That’s just typical behavior for this lifelong dorkwad, whose achievements include: building every computer he has ever owned (except his Commodore PET, which ran off a cassette tape drive), being the first person in Wrenshall High School history to earn a trip to the International Science and Engineering Fair (his project was a remote-controlled model-rocket launcher), learning to sew specifically for the purpose of making his own stunt kites, and co-founding a swing-dancing club at the University of Minnesota-Morris (before swing dancing became mildly popular), then, after moving to Duluth, mistakenly answering a newspaper ad for a “Swinger’s Club” that had nothing to do with dancing.

So you know they got the right guy.

Speaking of geek proms, Yeah, I made my prom tux out of coke cans… because I’m just that cool.
