I live on the Internets, many of my friends do as well. Some of my friends and family don't. And sometimes I brings things back from the Internets and have to explain them to the people in meatspace.


Exhibit A

How do I explain this one? I ordered a lovely onesie with the baby "Trogdor the Burninator" on it for my future baby (to arrive in early Febuary), but I'm certain I will get questioned about what on earth this is. I think I can explain it here to those who visit the Internets, but don't necessarily live here, or live here but haven't yet experienced some of the odder corners of cyberworld.

Clearly you can find the Wikipedia and look up the entry on Trogdor, but let me sum it up for you:

  1. The US government wants to make sure that it can wage war even after a nuclear strike, so they invent the first of many Internets called ARPANET.
  2. Some brainy scientific types in Swizertucky who do the Nuclear thing wanted to read each others papers
  3. A guy or two in Chicago decided that pictures were nicer than just words
  4. Macrodobe used to be more than one company, and one of them decided that we needed their interactive CD product on the Internets, but it was big so they acquired another company and it became Flash
  5. Flash is kinda dumb for most everything except Homestar Runner
  6. The Homestar Runner is kinda dumb, but his friend/nemisis Strongbad is clever
  7. Did I say clever? Perhaps I meant he's kinda Jaka Sembung
  8. But funny (funny peculiar that is)
  9. He likes to doodle, and doodle, and doodle
  10. Geeks like his doodles and go way too far
  11. I'm a geek
  12. I bought a onesie

And now you are caught up on how it all happened, and what I've gotten myself into.

Oh, and HSR has a wiki dedicated to it (the HSR that is).

D'oh!

I don't suppose you need, um, two of them, do you?

I ordered the Teeny Tiny Girl Squad too. Both in the 3-6 month size...

I don't know whether to be proud or startled that I actually know who Trogdor is.

February! I knew it was coming up, but I didn't realize it was so soon. Exciting.
