JESUS BEN EDLUND. I LOVE YOU.

I never knew who he was until a few months ago, and now I see his name everywhere, on everything I love. The Tick and Firefly I knew about, but not Venture Brothers. I'm gonna marry Ben Edlund.

Heh, funnily, I wrote (with a friend) a script in the late 90s for the pilot episode of a show about geeks. Three geeks living in a small house, and then a moderately hot, "normalised" girl moves in. It was laden with references to film, comics, books, tv, etc.

Of course we never acted on it.

And now there's "The Big Bang Theory".

THAT COULD HAVE BEEN MEEEEEEEEEEEEEE.

I feel like I should know what that is, but I don't believe I do.

It's the show about four geeks living in an apartment block in NY, when a hot girl moves in across the hall. I like it for the fact it has some really obscure jokes (like how one guy's costume for a party is a mass of lines. "DUDE, NOONE IS GOING TO GET THE DOPPLER EFFECT.", or a massive and very clever sequence involving WoW and eBay).

Huh. I think that would just piss me off, due to my frustration at geeky guys going all apeshit for hot "normal" girls instead of hot geek girls.
