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.

On a side point..."But there is no reason at all to think that the author of something is the best authority: the continued existence of academic literature departments is predicated on the rejection of this notion."
Well of course it is - they're justifying their existence.
I have no opinions about or emotional connections to LOTR. It might be about the Nazis, or it might equally be about little men Tolkien made up in his head. Didn't stop me shitting on his grave though.
