My Hestia, do i work with a bunch of nerds.
Supervisor comes into the office. "Who's the biggest nerd, here?"
We look at him, look at each other. Offer qualifiers. "Star Trek, Star Gate, Star Wars, Star Search? Anime? Marvel? DC?"
"My son's joining a D&D group. I know nothing about the game. I got the playing tech manual-"
"Player's Handbook," six of us chorus.
"That. Now, who knows the most?" I raise my hand. I have been playing since 1980. I have played Monopoly with lead figures and the DM screen. Back in 1983, before any collector sets of the game came out. I have a footlocker of books and character sheets. Others raise their hands, too.
"Who has the most books?" someone asks. I start to raise my hand. I have the footlocker.
Jason says, "Two shelves. Wait, are we counting novelizations?"
"I'm out," i had to admit.
He ended up with the guy who owns the cartoon show on VHS.
