GorT read ‘Puter’s latest post with amusement – enjoying his tossing of District Board Policies at the board – until GorT got to the footnotes. For those that didn’t read that far (maybe validating one of the footnotes) or missed … Continue reading →
From: GorT To: Gormogons Cc: Sleestak, Prince Tochmas, Grand Mogul, Inetef-Te-Henqet, 2-IB, Yeto, Barry, and various Minions, and that Dat Ho kid Subject: Castle Gormogon Official Time This is to officially remind the Castle dwellers that we do not recognize … Continue reading →
The Gormogons are all fans of getting outside and enjoying the fresh air and some healthy exercise. Some of the castle dwellers wanted more variety around the grounds for our enjoyment so our official contracts officer, ‘Puter, put out a … Continue reading →
So the Czar is goading GorT (and maybe ‘Puter) a bit with his latest post about soccer being tiresome. Aside from his clever title the post is a bunch of mis- or uninformed babbling. Yeah, I’m calling out the Czar … Continue reading →
Did you catch the State of the Union last night? We didn’t! The truth is that your Gormogons found far better things to do with our Tuesday evening. The Volgi: I watched the Caps-Sabres game. ’Puter considers nothing sweeter than … Continue reading →

Every once in a while a topic comes up that places your Gormogons on differing sides of Castle. However, GorT feels he needs to clear the air regarding the metric system. This post originally was longer but after the Czar … Continue reading →
Czar, Your point about my argument as (inelegantly) stated is correct, but I was trying to get at the handiness of the units of relative and different size (inch, foot, yard), as opposed to the reduction to numbers of relatively … Continue reading →
Well, we Gormogons love infighting. Watching the playful shoving match between Dr. J., GorT, and Volgi over the metric system is a strong reminder to you readers that we Castle men do not march in lockstep. Each of the Czar’s … Continue reading →
No, the metric system doesn’t go to 11. While GorT will grant Dr. J the evil that is (was) Esperanto, GorT will take a bit of umbrage with his poke at soccer and the metric system. GorT is an engineer … Continue reading →

Not that kind of meat smoking, not that there’s anything wrong with that. Since both Czar and GorT have shared their secrets for smoking ribs with you, our beloved readers, ‘Puter thought he’d share his secrets as well. Czar and … Continue reading →
The Czar regrets to inform Dr. J. that using cookies for smores is not an innovation, but in fact has been around for quite a while. Quite a while, indeed. These desserts might be called s’lesses. In fact, the Czar—known … Continue reading →

Gentle Readers: One could misconstrue The Czar’s posting of the magnificent Operative BG’s transmission as him running his own version of PRISM on your other Gormogons, but the reality is that BG’s communication, like many receive is an open letter … Continue reading →
Only Trebek knows the secrets ‘Puterholds deep within his, tiny, shriveled,black heart. And within ‘Puter’sno-no hole, but that’s another story. Wow. ‘Puter gets buried under an avalanche of work for a few days and comes back to find some truly … Continue reading →

GorT read ‘Puter’s post earlier today regarding sequestration. Let me first state that I’m in agreement with his conclusion: To win this debate once and for all, Republicans have to call the Democrats out and expose them for what they … Continue reading →
Not to undo the entire crux of Dr. J’s rational polemic, in which he says that non-letter grades are indeed desirable for little ones, allow the Czar to quote himself: And certainly simpler systems work for K-3 because kids are … Continue reading →

孔夫子 a.k.a. Confucius, our Œcumenical Volgi (the Notorious ŒV) has been conspicuously absent of late, especially given that he wrote the first post on our esteemed website. Well, the first in a wibbly, wobbly, timey-wimey sort of way, anyway. Well, Dr. J.’s dark … Continue reading →
