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.

Nerds chat up line.Whenever I see a lovely girl in a bar. I will go up to her with this unique chat up line:
"Hi there, I was wondering what your high score was on Bubble Bobble?"
Usually the response is a "wtf is Bubble Bobble?". But one day.. one day. I will get a response of "Oooh I loved that game!!" And that will be the girl who I will marry!!
(For real this time, not on IRC - see earlier post)

Unlucky...We're all already married or taken. Cos we're so damn exotic.
As Scott Adams said: "Female engineers become irresistible at the age of consent and remain that way until about thirty minutes after their clinical death. Longer if it's a warm day."
