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.

It was great!
Had a slight hangover this morning though....
And Crackhouseceilidhband has put her pics up onto the Flickr pool. I'll put mine up once my internet connection stays on for longer than 30 seconds (grrrr!)

Agreed
Was really, really good to put faces, voices and mannerisms to folks who've made me laugh like a loon and blub like a schoolgirl with your posts here.
I thoroughly enjoyed meeting you all.
However, part of me wonders if there were shy lurkers inconspicously checking out the Argyll Arms to see what other b3tans look like?
