Apr 7 2008AWESOME!: Geekologie Featured On BBC
I don't have a television anymore because my wife sold it for six boxes of Girl Scout Cookies and two pints of Ben and Jerry's. But if I did I may have caught Geekologie featured on BBC! Whoooooweeeee! So yeah, we're big time now. Really up there with the giants. Like Andre and, um, Jolly Green. The picture features a transcript of the show, or you can go here and click April 4th to watch it. But just skip to 21:00, that's when the good stuff starts. I can't wait to tell my parents, they're going to be so proud! Well, as proud as they can be of a son who writes lewd jokes for a blog all day.

Thanks to Mr. Kezzzs and Adrian, both of whom I will buy a beer the next time I'm overseas, for the tips

Congrats John, that's awesome.
I couldn't help notice the typo within the BBC story, but alas, if I try correcting the british, they'd probably try to kill me...adding the "t" in the word "the" so it doesn't look like "he" isn't worth the trouble.
Congrats to geekologie, writer, & readers.

I know this is a blog, but really this (and guilty-pleasure peeks at The Superficial) is really my only contact with the wider world... To me, Geekology is analogous to World News. BBC who?
17. poop - April 7, 2008 9:40 PM
bbc is the first step on the way to al jazeera! yeah man! woO!
18. yeu2 - April 7, 2008 11:18 PM

Now that its becoming mainstream geekologie is going to sell out.
Youll soon be able to afford TWO forties a night!

Big deal.
I wrote about you guys months ago on my site and I'm relatively sure that my site is more popular than the BBC.*

30. blp - April 8, 2008 2:49 PM
That's pretty cool, from the pic I'm guessing it was on "Click" which gets plenty of viewers on News 24 and the web. Congrats. I don't think of this as blog because it's not boring to read.
31. Porcsin - April 8, 2008 8:47 PM
