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.

Sorry BBGI hate to do this, but...
The most common edged weapon used to harm someone is a kitchen knife.
Second on the list is a 'craft' or 'utility' knife, i.e. Stanley.
Next comes the Cambridge University Suicides's favourite, the Swiss Army.
Then we've got the bought from the market cheap lock knife.
And finally, waay down the scale we have legitimately held fairly expensive proper knives.
It's a tool. It's the intent to do harm that is the issue, and the complete lack of understanding of the consequences of their actions that is the worrying thing with the scrapping genetic drizzle that pretends to be the yoof of today.
I've carried a knife of various peaceful sorts for the best part of 20 years and never had the desire to stab someone. On one occasion when I got involved with a Ned (and ended up with a rather fetching black eye) I could, if I felt like it, have stabbed the sawn-off little cunt repeatedly. However I didn't, as this was many years ago when Gentlemen used their fists. (And the little cunt used his mate to come up behind me and kick the shit out of me).
Forget banning the tools, as it would make a picnic a bastard. Try a mandatory 5 year sentence for a Ned or Senga carrying a blade.
