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.

^ Christ....I'd forgotten my system for hanging out the washing.
DG sometimes thinks he's helping by *GETTING UP* THE *LOAD*. I smile, through gritted teeth and after 4 or 5 seconds I can no longer bare to watch. He has blatant disregard for my System! He hangs the socks out *WILLY*-nilly! (Ok, he does match them in correct pairs.) This task takes me 45 minutes minimum - neither DG or my son turn their socks the right way out - I catch most of them before washing - a sock that has been washed inside-out is bad enough...but when it's semi-reversed? AARRGH!!!
They must all be flattened out symmetrically, *FROM BEHIND*. Socks absolutely cannot be *HUNG* sideways - perish the very thought!
*shakes head despairingly*
