Behold the Power of Fark!

Over 20,000 people saw my picture on the internet yesterday. I'd say that was some sort of record, but that's so obviously true it makes my head hurt. What I'll say instead is that the picture they saw is of me flanked by four incredibly beautiful women....proudly displaying a Star Wars figurine. And smiling. Well, see for yourself:



Now, the story of how I wound up in between Chesty McChesterton and Boobs McGee holding, again, a Star Wars action figure (Sing it with me: "One of these things is NOT like the other. One of these things just doesn't belong.") is really the story of a website. And that website is Fark.com. If you don't know about Fark.com, well, congratulations on being able to get your work done. Fark is essentially a blog run by Drew Curtis, with links to various stories across the net. More than that, though, Fark is a community, a place you can go for a few laughs and some great stories. Picture a local pub on the net and you'd have a good idea of what Fark means for its users. But not really, cause no description really does it justice. Go ahead. Check it out for yourself. I'll be here when you get back.

You here? The figure, you wanted to know about the figure. Well, Fark has photoshop contests, and one of the more abused cliches is to inject Admiral Akbar from Return of the Jedi into various situations, along with his catchphrase "It's a trap!" So that's how, when I attended a party and trivia contest with Drew Curtis himself, I wound up grinning like a fool when I won this figurine. It's the ultimate win for a Total Farker like myself. Just ask Sarah: She's a Total Farker too (and I mean that literally. Check out her profile.) Or for those of you from Rutgers, why, you could ask Jim Minardo. He's a Total Farker (and I mean that, of course, metaphorically.)

I know. I know. You don't understand. But, trust me, you will. At the very least, you should.

Behold the power of Fark. And be amazed.
