2007 was the best year ever — for geeks

Originally posted on GGL Wire 12/29/07.

Okay, not really. The best year ever for geeks was 1977, because Star Wars, Close Encounters and the Atari 2600 all came out that year.
But it was a really good year to be a geek. Here are some of the top events, in no particular order, that made 2007 great.

Seven Words

Don’t forget “fart,” “turd” and “twat.”
I dare you to watch this and not laugh your ass off. It’s not just the words. It’s the delivery. Listen to the cadence of his voice. Look at the expressiveness of his face and hands.

My Vacation - Day 5 of 10

Just some randoms from today
I woke up grumpy with a headache and sinus congestion. It cleared up after a while. Fresh air at night would help, but the bedroom only has one window in which the air conditioner sits at the moment. A major design flaw when this house was built as the bedroom […]

Zuma VS Zapiro

South Africa - A local editorial cartoon artist with International Awards, Jonathan Shapiro AKA ‘Zapiro’ raised the fury of the President of the ANC, Jacob Zuma. (with a cartoon published in a National Newspaper - The Sunday Times.)
Here’s another take on the event, after all it’s not often lowly cartoonists receive such public recognition from […]

The Host’s Lament

Despite what this comic would lead you to believe (who writes this thing anyway?), my birthday party was a smashing success. Thanks in part to the Fancy Bastards who shared in the festivities via live video stream. It was pretty amazing feeling like there were dozens of people watching the shitty movies with us.
Thanks to […]
