15 Minutes

Alright, I just found out I was featured on the very popular homestarrunner.com, and I had what my gorgeous gal pal would call, a "nerdgasm".

Okay, here's some backstory: Homestar Runner is a popular web cartoon/comic that I've been a fan of for about 3 years. I doodle his face all the time. He's on my keychain. This guy:




The guys who run the website encourage fans to send in Homestar-esque objects that the fans either make or see. Birthday cakes, Halloween costumes, etc.

I also play this PC game called Team Fortress 2. My name on that game is a sort of underground character on the website, "Li'l Brudder". He's a one-legged dog that was mentioned in one of the cartoons. In Team Fortress, you can make "sprays", which is basically a "spraypainted" picture of whatever you want placed anywhere on the current game level. I got a picture of Li'l Brudder as my spray, since it's my name.

Fast forward a little bit. Since I love this website, I decided to take a picture and send it to the authors of the website. In summary, I was featured on the website. Here's a picture:


Here's a link for the website archive. I've second from the bottom.
