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.

Trial of ChampionsWhen #21: ToC came out, Penguin had a competition to win a signed set of all 21 books. I entered, but didn't win the first prize. I got one of the runner-up prizes, a signed copy of ToC.
I still have it somewhere in my library. I ought to fish it out and play it again.

StickersI would assume that Hello Kitty stickers might get one pretty high, if smoked -- all that pink paint and all.
