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.

Not a friend story, but a friends parents one...A good friend of mines mum got remarried a couple of years ago, and decided that since she had already had the big wedding for her first marriage, this time they would have a bit more fun with it - a more relaxed atmosphere, cut back a wee bit on the fancy wedding dress and matching bridesmaids and so on (though still very smart and well done)
The crowning achievement in my eyes was the wedding cake. My friends mum being a huge discworld fan decided that having a cake in the design of the luggage would be a fantastic idea, so they did.
Watching everyone as they went to get a slice of cake after the meal was quite fantastic - wandering what the hell this strange cake with hundreds of legs was all about.
We all thought it was fantastic though, and had a good time spotting all the people who have read some of the Rincewind based books before...

Ahhh...that would have brought tears to my eyes. Just like when I read Interesting Times and Rincewind and TwoFlower were reunited.
