Yes, yes I know..
It's been a very long time. It's currently 4:52 in the morning, and as i eat the remains of a Tilapia that has disintegrated in the George Foreman Grill I figured hey, why not make up for lost time... so, this is what's been going on with me.. FIRST, however, I just want to say...
DORK POWERRRRR!!!!!
Anyone who hasn't yet, should go to www.darkonthemovie.com and watch the trailer.
Darkon is about us, a bunch of nerds who dress up in weird costumes and run around calling each other alternate names and hitting each other with foam covered sticks.
SXSW film festival, we won the audience choice award for best documentary.
We have a spread in Wired Magazine.
We're on the cover of this week's Baltimore Citypaper.
We've been on Channel 13 News.
We've been featured at the Toronto Film Festival.
We'll be featured at the Maryland Film Festival.
With all this going on, I think its time to assert our nerdiness and have..
A NERD PRIDE PARADE!!!
It would be GREAT! We could have floats go down the street where Gary Gygax, Bill Gates and Joss Whedon would wave to us, and people dressed up in big mascot costumes of calculators and 20-sided dice while mobile speakers blast Weird Al! It would be a true Nerdtopia! Best of all, we get to make fun of mundanes and march down the street with banners chanting defiant phrases like,
"WE HEREEE! WE'RE WEIRDDD ! GET USED TO IT!"
I maybe spend too much time alone....
1.)I like to collect bizarre and random facts. Here are some of my favorites that I've collected recently.
The Angler fish has to most bizarre mating habits ever. EVER. The male angler is born without certain things the female has. I don't mean ovaries, I mean like, a stomach. And intestines. So when its born it has to act fast. It rapidly finds a female, which is more than 10 times his size, bites into her, then secretes a digestive enzyme that fuses them together, like a symbiotic Pokemon. Then, having secured nourishment by sharing her circulatory system, the male begins to lose things it doesn't need, like its fins... its tail.. its eyes.. its brain.. until finally it atrophies into nothing more than a parasitic pair of testicles, that simply hang on until the female is ready to mate. More than one of my female friends have brought to my attention that this is remarkably similar to human mating habits.
There is a Novel called "Gadsby." a 50,000 word novel written in english, without the letter e.
The male platypuss is venomous.
Scoville units are the measurement of the spiciness of a pepper.
Deaf athletes invented the football huddle. When you're that far from the other team, you can't hear what they're saying, but you can see them sign. Necessity is the mother of invention.
Also, Neil Gaiman is going to be at Balticon. I'm sooo there. I hope they let me off for it at work, because like, I'm GOING.
Um, yeah, that's all for now.. time for bed, and yogurt coated raisins...
