Beerbusters and Fat Guy Socks

I've shared with you guys various Rooster Teeth and Achievement Hunter videos - none of which, with the exception of maybe "Headlight Fluid", has made me laugh as hard as this final installment of On The Spot (I repeatedly choked on food and nearly spit my drink everywhere - I highly recommend NOT eating while you watch). If you're easily offended, this might not be the video for you.

Happy New Year and GA 2nd Birthday!

 I'm writing this in 2014, but it won't post until 2015. How's that for wibbly wobbly timey wimey?

I can't recall anything particularly spectacular from the year as far as anything personal, but globally we saw a lot of upward-moving excrement fly directly into rotating propellers suspended from a ceiling (yes, that means exactly what you think it means), we lost a lot of people, but we also saw social barriers come down and communication begin or resume.

Change isn't always easy and it isn't always for the best, but it is a necessary chaos to continue living. C'est la vie: That's life.

As for the blog, it's been going for two years now. HOLY COW, BATMAN! Honestly (and somewhat ashamedly), this is the longest I've kept up with any written work on a constant basis. It's been SO much fun writing about different things and not really feeling the need to stay on any one particular topic because "geek" is an all-encompassing term. You can be a SciFi geek or a Music geek or a Sports geek; geek is geek. We may not all like the same things, but for the most part we're equally passionate about the things we do enjoy.

If it weren't for all of you coming back week after week, and even those of you just discovering us (Hello!), we might have decided it wasn't worth the effort and deleted it or let it fall away into the Purgatory otherwise known as Internet archives. So thank YOU - yes, YOU! - for your continued support and interest.

For the TL;DR crowd: lots of bad stuff happened in 2014, but we're hoping for a better 2015, and thank you readers for sticking with us.

Cheers!

The Night Before Trekmas

Life in retail has been so chaotic this past week (and will only get worse in the next few days) that I didn't get a chance to really prepare anything, so I dug up a Facebook post I made in December of 2012, shortly before this blog even existed. Whatever holiday you celebrate during this time of year, which are actually far more numerous than just Christmas, Hanukkah, or Kwanzaa, or even if you don't celebrate anything except spending time with your family and friends, I hope you all have fun and enjoy whatever festivities or gatherings you'll be attending.

'Twas the night before Trekmas, when all through the ship
The Borg were all stirring, looking to cause mischief.
Their implants were ready and tuned with great care,
For they all knew that Voyager soon would be there.

The crew were nestled all snug in their beds,
While visions of sensor readings danced in their heads.
And Janeway in her nightgown, with Q nowhere in sight,
Had just settled her brain and turned in for the night.

When out on the bridge there arose such a clatter,
She sprang from her bed to see what was the matter.
Away to the closet she flew in a dash,
Tore open the door and was clothed in a flash.

A cube on the screen gave off a green glow
And Janeway knew this was no friend, but a foe.
When, what to her critical eyes should appear,
But a cluster of Borg drones, and the crew shook with fear.

“Resistance is futile”, they said as they advanced,
Janeway was tired of this same song and dance.
More rapid than phasers they closed in all around,
And they murmured and muttered and said this aloud:

"We are the Borg, we wish you no harm;
We want only your mind”, and they extended their arms.
Tubules came out of the tops of their hands
Then Neelix came forth wielding his pots and his pans.

“Now just you see here”, he called out with a cry,
“You cannot have us. The Captain won’t let that fly.”
They said not a word, but turned 'round to face him,
His eyes grew wide, knowing his chances were slim.

And then, in a twinkling, Q appeared with a POOF!
“Why Kate, what is this? It looks like a coup!”
Janeway just scowled and massaged her forehead,
“Are you here to help, or to help us get dead?”

He tsked, “Ah-ah-ah! You know better than that”,
And he snapped and the Borg drones all became cats.
“Well, that was simple”, Janeway said with a smirk,
“But you’ll never outmaneuver good ol' James T. Kirk.”

“The Carbomite Maneuver? Oh please, what a joke!
Kate, I just saved your life; my heart is now broke.”
Janeway rolled her eyes and muttered a thanks,
But when Q moved in for a kiss, she threatened a shank.

He chuckled and smiled, so pleased with the game,
“Kathy, I’ll get you yet. Just you wait.”
He snapped and was gone in the blink of an eye,
But alas! Something had gone terribly awry!

The Borg cats were gone, but replaced with red roses,
And little puppy dogs with such cold, wet noses.
Heart-shaped balloons filled the bridge on all sides,
And Janeway sat down in her chair with a sigh.

She woke from this dream, sitting up with a jerk,
And sighed in relief, then gave a slight smirk.
It was morning again, time to start a new day,
So she dressed and prepared and hurried away.

She sat in her chair, to her crew gave the order,
And away they all flew to the Risian border.
And this she exclaimed, ‘ere they warped out of sight,
"Shore leave for all, engage, and good flight!"

The Twelve Days of Geekmas

Working in Retail, I find it difficult to really get into anything resembling a "festive"  mood this time of year since I've typically been bombarded with music and decorations since about late September/early October. However, I still try to have fun with it even though I'm ready for all this hubbub to be over, so I present to you (with instrumental musical accompaniment!) The Twelve Days of Geekmas:

Twelve Doctors running

Eleven Orcs attacking

Ten Rebels plotting

Nine Roosters dying

Eight Tributes pledging

Seven Vampires feeding

Six Reavers chasing

Five Magic rings

Four Cylon spies

Three Robots march

Two Pirates fuss

And the crew of the Enterprise D
