Everything including the kitchen sink... but with special attention paid to board games, Jesus Christ, my family, being a "professional" (and I use that word loosely) Christian, and the random firing of the 10% of the synapses I'm currently using.

Certified 100% Grade-A Fanboy
Here's the moment when I realized that I am possibly one of the dorkiest guys on the planet... Shari & I were watching the latest episode of Chuck last night (thank you, VCR) when this exchange occurred between two characters (recap courtesy of TWOP):
Morgan is convinced that Chuck is just a fragile little gelding unprepared for the world. Elie snorts and asks, "Do you know what a gelding is?" Morgan smirks, "Yeah, it's that weird creature from The Dark Crystal." Nice! It is so hard to find a good Dark Crystal reference these days!
Not only did I recognize the reference, I knew that the correct word is "gelfling." Some of you are thinking: "It took this for you to wake up & smell the coffee? You mean, the fact that you have an entire room dedicated to board games wasn't a big enough clue?!"I see your point.
The best throwaway joke in the entire episode was when Casey threw the microwave at the bad guy... he fell over, there was a pause, and a subtle "ding!" as if the microwave had just finished cooking something.
I _love_ this show... and, btw, Pushing Daisies, which has the same whimsical take on life.

Sweet! I didn't understand the reference. There's still hope for me (as I hide my cartoon superhero figures displayed in my entry hall).

And to make you (and me) even happier, there's a Dark Crystal sequel in the works.
Firestone...
I actually knew that. (Cool, eh?) I have a friend who's been working on some of the SFX work.
Of course, as much as I like Dark Crystal, I'm an even bigger fan of Labyrinth ("gotta gotta go underground!").
I'm ashamed to say that I have not seen Dark Crystal or Labyrinth. And I call myself a geek...
Did Morgan actually intend to compare Chuck to a castrated horse? Cause that's what happened.
Ladypuppy,
No, I don't think so, but yes, that's exactly what he did.
