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.

Oh dear.....I can identify with this so much so that it's creepy....for it is exactly how my train of anal/obsessive thought works..
The logic of your system and the progression of categories is top-notch Mr Enzyme. I'm particularly impressed how your language section goes from English prose to foreign lit, then you order the next bit according to the romantic index of the langauge.
And an extra *click* for The Rubayiat of Omar Khayyam** - my mother used to read that to me as a nipper and I used to know it by heart. Sadly, since childbirth my cranial capacity has diminished somewhat and my "recall" function is totally fucked...
**must borrow that from me Mam & have another read of it.
