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.

I once got laidbecause I could play Tom Lehrer songs on my guitar.
I may be the only man in the world who can make that claim.

*applauds*I have the Tom Lehrer song book, with sheet music, and the complete box set, and an incomplete ability to play music to which one can sing.
Edited to add: and since it's Sunday I'm off to the park with my peanuts and cyanide.

The second only man who can make that claim...I suspect Tom Lehrer got laid cause he could play Tom Lehrer songs on his guitar.

Nope.He plays piano, not guitar. And from the looks of him, I'd guess it never got him laid...
