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.

SurelyYou must also have owned a Black Widow or similar?
Barnett Diablo for me, and I bought a new Black Widow last year because there was a bit of a queue in the gunsmiths and my eyes wandered. (I had been looking at a 1916 SMLE .303 as well and was feeling a bit faint).
Webley Viscount back in the dim & distant, plus a couple of cheap & cheerful air pistols. Currently a CO2 92F somewhere, a Brocock in the safe (bloody Section One now), an old Spanish SBS for rough shoots, a Crosman rifle awaiting parts and for some strange reason a spear.
I have only ever sold one gun, to make space in the cabinet, and I still miss it.
And the missis wasn't bad on the clays either despite leaning too far back every damn time...
