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.

2. Every Single Day.
3. English, German, French and Swedish.
4. I got given one that did red and black, with a built in laser pointer. I didn't come, but I got goose-bumps.
5. check.
6. sort of... see "on the stage". I only ever truly rose above it by nearly choking "Walter" to a state of un-conciousness.
7. Bowlcut. Thanks mum. Tweed: essential at school.
8 Currently addicted to Radio 4. Have all broadcast episodes of ISIHAC and the News quiz on Mp3.
9. Frodo should have shagged Sam in the end. It'd have been perfect. And the book was better.
10. You spelt Über wrong...
Thanks for a giggle =) *click*
