Here is a funny horror video.  Wish I’d shared this with y’all last week.  There are no words, but be sure you’ve got your speakers up.  The music and sound effects really make the film. Click here if you can’t view the embedded video above.  If you enjoyed this, there is a whole series of [...]

Here are some Halloween costume ideas! All of these costumes appeared at DragonCon 2010.  Some of these are incredibly elaborate, while others are fairly simple and could be made by you at home with a little time and effort.  There were hundreds (if not thousands) of different costumes at DragonCon. These just happen to represent [...]

Here are a couple “Yo Momma So Fat” jokes (geeky style) that came out of a conversation with my 11 year old.  If you are easily offended by “Yo Momma” jokes, then don’t read this post. Megatron’s Momma so fat that when she transforms, she turns into a DUMP TRUCK! Darth Vader’s Momma so fat, [...]

This year on Halloween I’ll be giving out comic books in addition to candy!  Normally I give each trick-or-treater at least two pieces of candy.  On this October 31st each costumed visitor to our house will receive some candy plus one mini-comic – either Archie, Toy Story or Smurfs! Back in July, Diamond Comics Distributors [...]

Yesterday I posted several items I received for my birthday, including a TARDIS Cookie Jar.  Today I’ll be covering the awesome geek-related t-shirts I received! This first shirt came from my four year old daughter, the Precocious Princess.  She knows her daddy loves Star Wars so she picked out this shirt for me!  I love [...]

If you’ve been reading ONCE UPON A GEEK for awhile, then you know I love me some geeky apparel.  In preparation for Dragon*Con this year, I acquired a couple new geeky t-shirts to wear with pride at the event.  Check out these awesome new shirts! I absolutely love these designs!  I tend to gravitate towards [...]

Dragon*Con, my home away from home.  I believe this was my 10th appearance at this convention and it was definitely one of the better ones! Attended lots of panels, hung out with my friends, met some celebrities, drank far too much, took over 600 photos, and generally had a great time.  Sometime in the near [...]

Here are a couple brilliant Calvin and Hobbes inspired bits making their way around the interwebs. This first one comes from the recent Superman/Batman #75 and is by Brian Azzerello and Lee Bermejo.  This comic strip is all over the internet, but I first found it on Forbidden Planet International.  Click the image below to [...]
