A place for all things geek... ONCE UPON A GEEK is a blog that focuses on a variety of geeky 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. Don't forget to share your thoughts by adding comments!
By day, The Irredeemable Shag plays the part of a wealthy industrialist, playboy, and philanthropist. By night, he is a frightening creature that strikes terror into the hearts of criminals!
... or ...
maybe The Irredeemable Shag managed a comic book store for four years, and a movie theater megaplex for three years. Nowadays he's just a really vocal geek on THE UNIQUE GEEK, a semi-regular on the VIEWS FROM THE LONGBOX podcast, and runs the ONCE UPON A GEEK and FIRESTORM FAN blogs.
You decide...Maybe everyone else has already discovered this show, but I just fell in love with Better Off Ted. It’s friggin’ hilarious! It ran on ABC for two seasons and is now available on DVD and Netflix Instant. It’s technically a sitcom, but the writing is extremely sharp and clever, the actors are fantastic, and the [...]
I absolutely love this! Original can be found at Comixed.com. My thanks to SGhoul for sending this my way.
Y’know, it’s a pretty sad state of affairs when the future predicted in Back to the Future Part II was more creative than the real future we live in nowadays. Ugh. My thanks to Dug from THE UNIQUE GEEK for directing me to this comic on COMIXED.com.
Matt Smith recently appeared on the Craig Ferguson show. Below you’ll find the unaired musical number that was produced for the episode. It’s funny, bizarre, and a fairly accurate description of Doctor Who. This made the rounds on the interwebs a couple weeks ago, but I’m just now getting around to posting it here. If [...]

Today I’m presenting several Star Wars themed shirts they’ve featured in the past. You can’t buy these particular shirts anymore, but they are still worth a chuckle. Here is the description of TeeFury from their [...]
As some of you may remember, I’m a big Alpha Flight fan. Yes, they are the laughing stock of the Marvel superhero jet-set, but I still love them. Thanks to Rob over at The Aquaman Shrine, I stumbled across this series of Alpha Flight comic strips by James Duncan. They are hilarious! Below I’ve presented [...]
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 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, [...]
