Year of the Gormogons
Welcome to the one year anniversary of the Gormogons. Was it really only a year ago that the brilliant and insightful posts from the characters you’ve learned (maybe painfully) to love started? As part of the one-year celebration, we’ve compiled a few Best/Worst of categories for your reviewing enjoyment. Take a moment and drop us a line and let us know what you think – maybe you’ll even get mentioned by one of us…possibly in a positive light.
Best “Moment in Teaching” – this was a close vote between your Gormogons but the following edged out the rest. Nothing like two women teachers scorned (and arrested). Runners up included: these three gems.
Best coverage of “Science” (quotes intentional) – the combination of the Three-part Science Lesson and Dr. Chu’s attempt to tweak a Rolling Stone’s song for science. Honorable mention to these two posts.
Best post on Terrible Economic Moves – this garnered a wide range of votes but it basically boiled down to posts about Barney Frank,the Stimulus Bill and Government intervention. Honorable mention to this post.
Best article on Foreign Relationship issues (good or bad) – the runaway winner is the coverage of Iran well represented by these posts. Runners up were these two articles.
Best picture used – it was hard to pick a winner in this category, so here are the top five:
1. HK-HK
2. And So It Is Complete
3. Drop It
4. Gormogonicon Day 5
5. Ninja’s Killed My Family
Enjoy and there’s plenty more of this quality information coming in the next year!
GorT is an eight-foot-tall robot from the 51ˢᵗ Century who routinely time-travels to steal expensive technology from the future and return it to the past for retroinvention. The profits from this pay all the Gormogons’ bills, including subsidizing this website. Some of the products he has introduced from the future include oven mitts, the Guinness widget, Oxy-Clean, and Dr. Pepper. Due to his immense cybernetic brain, GorT is able to produce a post in 0.023 seconds and research it in even less time. Only ’Puter spends less time on research. GorT speaks entirely in zeros and ones, but occasionally throws in a ڭ to annoy the Volgi. He is a massive proponent of science, technology, and energy development, and enjoys nothing more than taking the Czar’s more interesting scientific theories, going into the past, publishing them as his own, and then returning to take credit for them. He is the only Gormogon who is capable of doing math. Possessed of incredible strength, he understands the awesome responsibility that follows and only uses it to hurt people.
