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.

10 reasons why i "win"i bet none of you are as nerdy as i am feeling tonight...
1 i just got in from work. this is the earliest finish all week. and i got to the office at 8am.
2 waitrose were waiting outside when i got home. that was my wednesday night hot date. the supermarket. although i had cancelled a "date" with a complete lechboy with whom i used to work earlier in the day. waitrose was a better bet, frankly.
3 the delivery boy was... yes... Hot Polish Boy! and i now have his phone number (sadly because i was late. meh!). although he is clearly about 16. no, 17. he's old enough to drive the van. anyway, this has cheered me up royally, especially walking up the stairs behind him. hmmm, maybe i am the lech.
4 waitrose have replaced my fab ice lollies (45 calories instead of the 4,500 haagen dazs calories i feel like consuming after my week)... with MINI MILK LOLLIES. ffs. what am i, 6? so now i'm flaked out on the sofa eating lollies that were meant for babies.
5 the lollies are melted because i was late for my date with Hot Polish Boy.
6 i am annoyed that i have missed america's next top model so far this week.
7 i just bid #350 on a first edition book on ebay.
8 i've never played dungeons and dragons. but the cartoon was on the other day and i couldn't go out til it had finished.
9 i find myself playing games with strangers on the tube/bus. sometimes it's put the blokes in shaggable order. sometimes it's spot the spy. other times it's how many deaths can i imagine for the lemming like twats who force their way on when there's clearly no room and stand all over my feet.
10 all the above is 100% of fact.
gash.

MehLightweight... try being an auditor anytime between mid-December and mid-March. My record this year is 5:25am to 10:15pm. Without stopping to eat anything all day. And that's nowt compared to what a couple of my colleagues have had to endure.
Being an auditor sucks, majorly. Kids, don't believe the graduate recruitment propaganda - if you simply have to be an accountant (why?!?), then make sure you get a job in industry

8 tll 10?Fuck that, I work from 8 and if I work past 6 I can literally feel my brain turning off.
If I carry on past then I just fuck things up to the point where I'd be better off going home.

Ma'amyou are confusing "nerdy" with "absolutelyfuckingshaggedoutandcrackingupwhatthefuckswrongwithmyhead". On that basis, you are indeed supreme.

what's the first edition?I leave for work at 8.30 and I'm back home by 5.45. Well, they don't pay me enough to give a shit.

I'm currently working my notice...So I'm not at work a single nanosecond more than I have to be (8:30-5:15). I do cock-diddley-all whilst I am here, other than pray for a decent QOTW next week so I can spend the whole week on B3ta.
Life is good...well mine is, anyway.
