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.

I must admitto doing holiday lists myself. But they're far more detailed than just "casual clothes". I break that down into "T-shirts (8), Jeans (3)" and so on.
And although I now have bought a hand held GPS with maps of North America and Australia (but not the UK because I know my way around here OK) I still take maps printed from Google or the like.
And I always carry a length of wire in my suitcase when going on holiday. Very handy for numerous eventualities. (But no, I don't tie up kids with it)
