We’re not sure who this might interest, but here are some short bios about the authors of this blog. So who are we? We’re a bunch of really close friends who found a common interest in very many geeky (and many non-geeky) things, including Magic the Gathering, Final Fantasy, Xbox, Playstation, Wii, Waffles, Chilies (some more jalepeno, Joe?), Nandos, and Munchkin. We used to get together almost every weekend and spend a lot of it talking and discussing subjects that you see quite closely reflected in the content of this blog (as well as some subjects we’ve not yet touched here yet…such as Joe’s Nuts and high-definition nipples). After the group spread out across the globe, we decided to put up this blog as a way of electronically “keeping touch”, and discussing the very same weird, inconsequential stuff that we all used to discuss.
In alphabetical order:
B: Quote from the matrix: “Morpheus: This is your last chance. After this, there is no turning back. You take the blue pill – the story ends, you wake up in your bed and believe whatever you want to believe. You take the red pill – you stay in Wonderland and I show you how deep the rabbit-hole goes.”
I took the green pill instead – the third alternative, one that creates my reality.
Ethné:
Faranaaz: I don’t know if I have enough technical knowledge to be classified as a typical geek but I suppose I’m odd and obsessive enough to fall into that category. I love all things fantastical so that covers sci-fi and fantasy books, movies, TV shows, board games, card games and video games. I’m married to Sameer. Yes, we are indeed a very coupley group though I’ve got all the bloggery genes in our set. I think he’s only up to two posts now. Uhm. Wot? No, I’ve lost my train of thought. The angels have taken my blue box.
Fayyaad: I’m a South African-born geek, and in the words of Eddie Izzard, I have “technojoy”. Gimme gadgets and I’m happy! For that matter, give me Final Fantasy, and I’m happy. I’m happily married to fellow author, fecknusername. We have a little 3 year old scamp running around our abode, and another little scamp with the l33t birthdate of 20.08.2008. My writing isn’t confined to this blog; I’m an aspirant author (I’ve managed to get one short story published so far!), and I’m a technical writer by profession. And I think “frak” is an awesome word!
Joseph: I’m an Irish man that moved to South Africa to steal one of the local women and bring her back to Ireland 
Me missus is Ethné a fellow author too (it’s a very coupley gang) and I like walks on the beech and candle lite dinners.. oh wait wrong type of site Things I do and like doing, hmm … hanging out with the missus, watching TV shows, chatting to this lot, drawing, video games (sometime co-op mode with the missus), programming and entering long discussions about topics people tend to shy from like how people should pronounce “vagina” and “when was the first time you farted in front of a loved one” – as life is very serious so I prefer to take that away. Oh and Fayyaad – final fantasy is so uncool it’s no longer nerdy, it’s NORMAL muhahahaha. Oh and I’m a Web Programmer and Graphic Designer, and we have a cat called… dun dun dunnnnn “kitty” 
Fecknusername: I have a very entertaining 3 year old and the timer on the oven that was baking the second one pinged on Wednesday, 20/08/2008. I am obsessed with chocolate, shoes and most desserts. I take exception to desserts with fruit in them because anyone who tries to sneak healthy stuff into a dessert is a philistine. I love thrillers, murder mysteries and comedy. When I grow up I want to be Captain Jack Sparrow. I work in Event Management which enables me to sometimes afford visits to a spa where they massage you into a whimpering mess of happy exhaustion. I am the only sane and normal person in this bunch!
Sameer:
S: * cheshire cat wink * !
Yes! We do!
I don’t particularly care to see what you guys look like, but it would be nice to know more about ya.
Let me remedy that…
… I thought a GIANT picture of our faces would be appealing
Just for the record, there is far too little food involved in that explanation Feeyaad! Where’s Joe’s nuts?? Or Sharon’s desserts? Really!!
And the giant picture would only appeal to us!!
Hey Fayyaad, looking at what you wrote about yourself I see a hidden message, can you see it or is it just me?
Oh ha ha, Joseph…very funny!
I see we’re still missing a few authors here?
I am shy and lazy…
lol… is that your offical comment, so we can put that in the “About” area above
No, I’m still trying to come up with something suitable. Shy and lazy and a bit slow with the mental processes too.
Well done on filling in some details *clapping sound*
And Sharon, Byron… where are your gone.. they seem to have shrunk!
no, no, we are still here … i figure to keep this page interesting, i will change our details on a regular (or irregular) basis
Geek by association? But Salma, you married a geek, which means deep down inside you actually have a secret desire to be utterly and completely geekly. Can’t blame you. Take the shame.
Ok, ok…I confess. I did computer programming when I was 20 and I once spent an evening levelling up Feeyaad’s characters when he went out.
*ashamed*
*hides in the corner*
shouts holding pitch fork stooooone her!
not the drugs kind
Speaking of drugs I get morphine on Wednesday!
The more phine the better…
Sameer, I’ve thought of a name for our support group…
‘Victims of Punny Spouses’
Hey Salma… u may want to update your section here, no more bun
Done!!
unlike joe, i sent a private email to fayyaad requesting an update! gheesh *some people*
who’s “ethne” and “sameer”?
People who should ideally fill in their profiles, that’s who.
Joe, I’ll start emotionally blackmailing my spouse, you get to work on yours.
this is an interesting blog wit many editor’s and different flavours
I want to know why they call it a bun in the oven. I was eating a hot cross bun yesterday and started wondering about that. Is it coz they are small and sweet, and good for dipping in tea?
Yeah…kinda like those fetus biscuits!
