Justice (League) Flick

Courage-Honor-Fate-Fame-Glory-JUSTICE. All Anglo-Saxon lifestyle virtues and themes in the epic tale of Beowulf. I equally admired each desirable trait, until recently...when I learned that JUSTICE was unequivocally, indisputably, explicitly, unmistakably, obviously the most valuable and applicable Anglo-Saxon trait. How does one come to such a prophetic and defined sense of life altering clarity. The overpowering dominance of JUSTICE. The only epic warrior of greater cosmic importance to the Anglo-Saxons than Beowulf was JUSTICE. In fact, flash forward roughly 1600 years and an entire JUSTICE League, heros reflecting each of the above traits, is formed to protect humanity from influentially dark forces. So Congrats JUSTICE...master of Anglo-Saxon Literature and Geek of the Week.

Alex Eisenbarth-Matt Kerner-Chandler Hageman

After reading, reflecting, digesting, and assimilating the three above names, you may say to yourself “Self, what commonality do these three individuals share uniting them gloriously forever in Geek of Week lore and legend...survival videocasts, modeling contracts, ranch rodeo titles, Bush's Baked Beans secret family recipe? ” Well, here is a clue: Moose, Nacho, #Tractors. Still turbid, another clue: Piggy and Fishy’s Epic Adventure. For those still stumped, the three above individuals are authors of the award winning children’s book Piggy and Fishy’s Epic Adventure, co-authors being Banana, Ace Jaws, and Dragon [three second grade elementary students]. While writing a riveting children’s tale full of verbiage which sports beautifully descriptive linguistics, not just narrative, Moose, Nacho, #Tractors became elementary school heros believed capable of altering the universe...or at least introducing young-ins to some cool new highfalutin ways-a-write’n. Congrats Geeks of the Week Alex Eisenbarth, Matt Kerner, and Chandler Hageman.

DexDorito Applegarth

DexDorito’s sweet melange spans far beyond colorful kicks sporting the iconic Jumpman or unmistakably ornate hoodies launching geometric intricacies sharp enough to cause motion sickness in peeps who make direct eye contact as he subtly bops down the hall (yes the above is a drastic run-on sentence). DexDorito’s assorted incandescence comes from much more than a radical exoskeleton; an ultra cool ‘Chi’ deep within the cockles of his soul radiates into most everything he says, does, and feels. “Hey Mr. Uhing, did I format this right?” [Yep] “Aight...sweet man, nice and cool.” “Yo Mr. Uhing, is this a webpage or database source?” [Webpage] “Awesome...chill-dude, thanks.” DexDorito casts a wonderful balance of flavor and hominess to any ambiance - much like a Dorito. Some days Cool Ranch or Nacho Cheese while other days Salsa Verde or Flamas tickle the tastebuds; either way it is always good. So Congrats DexDorito Applegarth...English Geek of the Week.

Colby ‘Cheese’ Ellis

Cheese is appropriate for any occasion to nearly every taste palate. The dairy’s versatility is a daily staple in many homes, often taken for granted...until it’s gone. Chili? Silly without cheddar! Burger? Booger missing swiss? Salad? Pallid minus the feta. Colby ‘Cheese’ is a personal favorite of mine, sharply bettering each assignment...until he was gone. The darkness deceptively sulked into my awareness, disorienting each day of instruction. Then, a smooth melty dawn appeared filling a hollow void with a missed lactose glory. An epiphany entered my consciousness, stemming directly from Colby ‘Cheese’:
1. Be productive in absence.
2. Glory befalls individuals who remain fecund in times of drought.
3. The absence of cheese likens the absence of a soul. 
4. Cheese well preserved and prepared is far superior to cheese hastily composed or not composed at all.

Congrats Colby ‘Cheese’ Ellis … English Geek of the Week.
