...how would their respective providences live?


I was inspired to write a sketch (hopefully about twenty minutes long) on this concept when I was watching the episode of Chappelle Show where they do the bloopers/deleted scenes and Dave imagines what would happen if America's most flamboyant seceded...but now, instead of that, I want to show how life in the territories of Nerdland and Jockland (NOT gonna be their final names, in all likelyhood) would compare and especially contrast in a comedy-based skit.

So, having been both a nerd and a jock in my life, I have some ideas, but I would like some input and help on brainstorming various situations that would be funny to think about in either country (not necessarily looking for punchlines/dialogue; I'm aiming just for general ideas to narrow down). Also, I'd like to hear your idea of the best-fitting/most exaggerated/obvious stereotype of both nerds and jocks -- looks, clothing, way of walking, personality, favorite music...whatever, you name it, and feel free to get random with what you wanna pick out for their profiling. If you think their favorite belt buckles are worth comparing to one another, let it out and tell me what you think each would wear! Do be careful about hurting feelings though -- I am not aiming for people to be offended by these overblown stereotypes...but shocking is okay, if that makes enough sense, heh.

I have a large compilation of info on this so far (lots of comparisons, similarities, stereotypes, some ideas, and some unanswered questions from myself and users of another forum)...but I'll wait to see if this topic picks up before I start digging out material.
