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.

yip-yip hooray!
I open automatic doors with Jedi-mind-trick gesticulation too! (Much to the excruciating embarrassment of my 12 yr old son.) Works every time, so it does - I've NEVER EVER EVER got stuck in a doorway :o)
Well, actually I did once enter a cafe when heavily pregnant - emphasis on the *heavy*. Ate so many scones (too many varieties from which to choose, so had one of each) that I couldn't get out and had to leave via French windows instead....
