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.

PitchI'm also cursed with perfect pitch, which makes my wife's addiction to X Factor et al doubly galling. I tend to hide somewhere and read until I get the all clear.
However my actual hearing is starting to go, especially on the left, due to not wearing ear defenders when I should have been. Although the point that that is the ear'ole that points towards my wife in the car and also the scratcher is not lost on me.
And I've got a crap singing voice. Hey Ho.
