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.

great martini joke...and I understood most of the other posts too2 years of latin in high school here. I was even a member of the TJCL (texas junior classical league, thank you very much). Each year was a different teacher....but they were married to each other. Their home answering machine message was in latin. (How geeky is that if you have your teacher's home phone number?)
Enrolled in college latin but there weren't enough students so the school dropped the class....which sucked big time.
Still.....best bit I ever learned (from the wife half of the latin teacher duo) was this:
Erisne mia amare servus?
