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 wouldn't buy an actual Les Paulbecause they're way overpriced and the QC is shite. No, mine is a black Yamaha AES820, and I've had the pickups coil split ( DiMarzio 500k push/pull pots ). I don't worry about sustain, nobody needs more than about 25 seconds anyway, not even Pelican do chords that long. With the stringthrough body and locking Sperzels I can change and tune a string in 30 seconds, the carved radius body reduces weight, makes it very comfy and the construction is first class. I too like this idea of a B3ta band- if all the interested parties had a copy of Tracktion 2- very cheap, powerful and piss-easy to use sequencer- we could record and swap OGG files of our efforts over 't net. It works for the Melvins...
