This is a question 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 have a recurring nightmare. It starts as an erotic dream but just as I'm about to consummate the evening, I realise that the hardware is not compatible and I do not have the correct adaptor.

I do go out to pub though. I play cribbage there.

Cribbage and Real ale is good, nothing wrong with those.

This is a question reply I like milky coffee
Does that make me a geek?

Although I don't like milky tea-its all to do with my hatred of tea

This is a question reply Tea
Yes, there is nothing wrong with tea, but its not exciting, its not "cool". Of course, a single drink does not define you, but I think this small revelation about me helps complete the picture.
