Happy Holidays from Geeks of Doom

GoD Holiday 2007Dearest Denizens of Doom,

We here at Geeks of Doom are throwing caution and political correctness to the wind and wishing you all a very Merry Christmas today! We hope you and your families are blessed in the coming year with every geeky little happiness that your heart desires*.

An extra special wish of good cheer goes out to all of our consummate contributors, congenial commenters, convivial contest winners (we've got three contests running RIGHT NOW... do you feel lucky, punk?), and kindred colleagues in chaos from around the 'net!

The very best,
Dave3 and Empress Eve
and our Crüe O' Doom

*Our hearts greatly desired the Star Trek The Original Series - The Complete Seasons 1-3 box set and thanks to the Parental Units in conjunction with DHL Santa, we'll now be watching every single episode of the original Trek throughout 2008 and beyond! A Merry Christmas indeed!

Johnny Cash was one of those rare figures in American music that was loved by most everyone. Country music fans, counterculturalists, the establishment, and lovers of traditional gospel music all found plenty of reasons to like the Man In Black.
