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.

You decide ...... how nerdy I am.
I am male.
I wear glasses.
I work in IT
I am root.
I have a Thundercats T-shirt
I have a DangerMouse T-shirt.
I am 34 and I wear T-shirts.
I convert degrees into radians to picture an angle.
I have a degree in Physics. Not just any physics degree - a Laser Physics degree.
I drink real ale.
I can count to 1023 on my fingers
I drink tea, milky.
I have a Blackberry.
I do not, currently, have a girlfriend.
My computer passwords are derived from engine names and specifications
I lust after nerdy girls.
I do not like the sun.
I risked a beating by a drunk Scottish landlord (is there any other kind?) to correct the appalling grammar on his notices.
I have a recurring nightmare. It starts as an erotic dream but just as I'm about to consummate the evening, I realise that the hardware is not compatible and I do not have the correct adaptor.
I do go out to pub though. I play cribbage there.

I have weaned myself off 10 cups of tea a day . . .by drinking herbal infusions.

I like milky coffeeDoes that make me a geek?
Although I don't like milky tea-its all to do with my hatred of tea

TeaYes, there is nothing wrong with tea, but its not exciting, its not "cool". Of course, a single drink does not define you, but I think this small revelation about me helps complete the picture.
