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.

Oh God.I'm quite a fan of post-punk proto-crusty band New Model Army.
As a lad they suited perfickly my angry-young-man's desperate need for self-righteousness.
One day, a bunch of friends and I went to the pub. The driver of the car we were in had little respect for the law, safety, or, indeed, physics, so it was no surprise that, as the other passenger and I got to the bar as the driver parked, the other passenger noted "He drives like a maniac!"
I stood, in silent contemplation, before uttering "Drives like a maniac. Drives like a maniac. "I'll get a big car and I'll drive like a maniac, if you'll only notice me" - Notice Me - Sullivan, Morrow, 1983 - track 7 -Vengeance/The Independent Story"
