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.

I like to think of myself as not particularly nerdydespite the annoying glasses and "rubbish at sports" cliches I unfortunately fulfill. However, a friend of mine (we shall call him Alex), who also is not particularly nerdy, once said the worst, nerdiest and possibly stupidest thing ever to two popular, vain, gossipy girls (you know the kind).
This was 4 years ago...
During a science lesson we had recently been moved into a new seating plan with me and Alex next to the two girls. At one point, one of the girls made an unfriendly comment to Alex with which he responded:
"Yeah?! Well...your mouth is SO big it swallowed the entire universe and we had to go back in time to prevent it from happening!!!"
Needless to say, their face was a picture as they started crying "Geek and nerd!" at him. Funnily enough I don't remember ever sitting there afterwards...
