How nerdy are you?This week Gary Gygax, co-creator of Dungeons and Dragons, died. A whole generation of pasty dice-obsessed nerds owes him big time. Me included.
So, in his honour, how nerdy were you? Are you still sunlight-averse? What are the sad little things you do that nobody else understands?
As an example, a B3ta regular who shall remain nameless told us, "I spent an entire school summer holiday getting my BBC Model B computer to produce filthy stories from an extensive database of names, nouns, adjectives, stock phrases and deviant sexual practices. It revolutionised the porn magazine dirty letter writing industry for ever.
Revel in your own nerdiness.

Mega apologies for being so pedanticBut is it not an "acronym"? I think an example of an anagram would be "flowery twats" = Fawlty Towers..
(Trust me to pluck out a rude example.)
*just exposed extent of own nerdiness*
Fuck, sorry, I'll be taking my red pen to the screen next....
As for the string theory - that sounds juicy! All I know about string is that The Clangers ate blue string soup, and Spike Milligan's poem about string is one of my all time favourites...
"String is a very important thing
Rope is thicker
But string is quicker"
p.s. Love learning the origin of words and I definitely fit into the nert / nut category.
And your argument about the misuse of "theory" - would that be because "Theos" means "God" in Greek, hence theology etc. therefore....
Just looked up "string theory" on t'interweb...
Shoot me with shit for correcting "anagram" - you are clever and I am thick...
Aw, feck it. I'll get back into my kitchen, where I belong...
