Watch the YouTube video below for a really funny Aquaman song by Ookla the Mok. By the way, that is the coolest name for a band ever! The video is mostly made up of clips from the failed Aquaman TV show pilot, however, I’m all about the lyrics of the song.

What a great Father’s Day I had! My wife made chocolate chip muffins for breakfast, I spent the morning playing with the kids, then we all swam in pool for the first time this season, next I got to eat Sonny’s barbeque for lunch, and finally we went to the comic book shop! What a fun stress-free day!
In addition to some nice typical Father’s Day items, I gotta mention the geek-related swag I received. I got a cool Marvel t-shirt from Target that I’ve been eyeing lately (see picture to right). Then I also received two plates that my kids drew for me! You can see the plate on the left was done by two-year old daughter. She’s currently in her Impressionist period. Don’t worry, we’re watching her closely to ensure she doesn’t cut off her ear and give it to anyone. The plate on the right was done by my eight year old step-son. You can see he’s done a Doctor Who themed plate for me. This may just be my favorite piece of Doctor Who related merchandise now! You can clearly make out the 10th Doctor, Martha Jones, K-9, and the remains of a recently-destroyed Dalek! He got all the colors right, and even drew in the Sonic Screwdriver. I’m so proud of my budding little geek!
In regard to the shirt, I love the 1960’s/1970’s era Marvel apparel. The fake fading makes them look even cooler! However, I gotta ask you (my geek buddies) to help me identify one of the faces on my new shirt. I recognize everyone except this guy. Who the funk is he? He’s not Reed Richards and he’s not Nick Fury. I’m clueless. A little help here?
In honor of the new “Incredible Hulk” movie. This is hilarious!
I ganked it from Michael Bailey, who ganked it from dj_intheuk.
Fanboys the movie looks as if it could be the quintessential geek movie of all time. Production has been delayed a whole bunch, but the trailer makes it look to be worth the wait.
It’s got a great bunch of supporting actors, including Kristen Bell, Ray Park, William Shatner, Billy Dee Williams, and Jaime King.
I can’t wait!

Another oldie, but still awesome!!!
This was originally created by Geek-Week.net, but now thankfully belongs in all of our hearts!
Hey gang - I’m out of town for work and sick as a dog (sinus infection that won’t quit). So nothing deep for today. Enjoy another oldie, but a goodie. Watch “The End of the World” by clicking here.
Have fun!
In honor of the Doctor Who premier tonight on Sci-Fi, I thought I would post a fun image I put together a few years ago. Interestingly enough, the gag still works since all three shows are still being shown on Friday nights.
This certainly isn’t new, but I never grow tired of it. It’s good to be reminded of it every once and a while.
CHUCK NORRIS!

A place for all things geek... Primarily I focus on some of my favorite topics including comic books, Doctor Who, Star Wars (classic and legacy characters), role-playing, 80’s TV shows, and science fiction in general. However, any topic is really fair game. Feel free to comment and let me know what you think. I hope you enjoy!
