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.

^same hereAlthough my CRKT K.I.S.S. has gone to the cutlers in the sky (one of the finest small folders made) it was technically illegal in that the blade locked. I now carry a Leatherman Micra which is quite frankly a bit puffy.
However Kudos for the Falchion, a proper Frenchman dividing weapon in it's time. My hand and a half broad or bastard sword will be staying exactly where it is, doing nobody any harm whatsoever. Unless the French invade, of course.
'Tis also ironic that half of the cheap crappy 'Samurai' swords used by the polyester-clad mouth breathers are of such poor quality that they'd have a job to cut a carrot in half even if they are actually live bladed. There only redeeming feature is that the Plod turn up booted and suited and will either shoot or Taser the bendy-sword waving prat.
