A message to geeks everywhere!

Geeks, who doesn't love em, eh?

Chances are, if you are reading this there is geek blood running rampant through your veins. Hell, I admit I can be extremely geeky, I have an encyclopedic knowledge of much of what pop culture has to offer, Obscure (and not so) 70's/80's/90's cartoons and TV, Comics, Cult Movies, Anime, Toys, Videogames... the lot.

So heres a message to geeks everywhere, in the vain hope it gets drummed into some of you...

WHEN YOU ARE IN PUBLIC - TONE IT DOWN TO AN ACCEPTIBLE FUCKING LEVEL.

Too many times have I been in a pub, for a night on the town, only for some geek or other ending up dragging me into a conversation about something incredibly geeky.

Heres the fucking skinny, guys. when I go out to a pub, I do it for one of three reasons: -

  1. GET PISSED
  2. Socialise like a NORMAL MEMBER OF SOCIETY (rare, but, meh)
  3. ALL OF THE ABOVE


Going to a pub and ending up in an in depth discussion about, for example, Spike's path to redemption in Buffy the Vampire Slayer, is fucking depressing. Im drinking beer to numb my mind, i dont need the conversation to help, If you want to talk about Buffy in a pub keep it to the level of WHO HAS THE BEST ARSE, or something.

Theres a time and a place for everything... And if I were you, I'd keep it reserved for conventions and the internet.

/Rant

(This message was bought to you by the campaign to tell people being geeky in public is NOT BIG OR CLEVER, in fact, its a bit weird and youll find less people talk to you.)

NOELS BACK ON TELLY - TIME FOR THE MASTER PLAN



Deal or No Deal! Probably the biggest quiz show since "Millionaire", and on just after Countdown! So it's already got a captive audience of old people who cant switch channels because the old arthritis is playing up.

And now the BIG PLAN. "Noel Still Loves You" imagery MUST meet the real Edmonds on TV

The mission, If anyone chooses to accept it:

  1. Get a T-Shirt printed with the "Che Noel" Image on it.
  2. GET ON THE SHOW (Preferably as a contestant)



I will personally be attempting this, and I plead anyone who is up for a laugh to do so too.

Even better, If someone has already been accepted as a contestant and is willing to do it, contact me... I'll fund the production of your t-shirt myself, as long as you are willing to wear it.
