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.

Buy - Obsess - SellAt various times, I have...
- owned assorted Hillman Imps, 875cc of fuck all power (39bhp, 55 in the Sport), but mad good fun to drive, and some of the owners are right up there in the kagoul top 10, discussing paint codes & the like.
- assembled a collection of eighty bootleg Pink Floyd DVDs in the course of a few months, which I sold for fifty quid so as not to profit from free downloads (covered costs of discs, sleeves, covers, inks etc.)
- now have 25 Smiths bootleg DVDs, 12 Black Flag, asst Devo, Dead Kennedys etc....
- this weekend just gone I bought 54 Target Dr Who books for forty quid at a boot fair, all 70s & 80s editions, all a bit scruffy. *BLISS*
Heh, nerd. Excellent.

millman himps....are/were way cool. I spanked my sisters all over the place. Very basic model with cardboard door liners. Slipsteamed lorries on most motorway journeys as doing 80 with the engine ticking over is just too much fun. Fitted an extra rad to the front for proper cooling and one day got attacked by a deer which stoved the front badly. It has recently ben sold after languishing outside her house for 8 years. I almost cried. It was the coolest car I have ever driven. A list that goes from Austin 7 to 1998 320 CLK. Millman Himp I miss you.
