I'm not sure how many of you watch Game of Thrones. If you're not watching, I don't know what's wrong with you! It's like the best show ever! Well... aside from The Walking Dead, Spartacus, True Blood, Dexter, Mad Men, Boardwalk Empire and many others, but that's besides the point.
In Game of Thrones everyone wants to sit on the "Throne of Swords". At the present time, the god-awful teeny-bopper king, Joffrey, who nobody can stand and want dead, is sitting on this chair.
Well.... here comes the Nerd of Thrones! LOL, yes, someone made a throne out of computer keyboards. Quite hilarious, but I'm sure you gamers and computer geeks are eager to make one.
The artist, Mike DeWolfe has released the following statement:
The Throne of Nerds is made in honor of the Throne of Swords from the
Game of Thrones TV series and fantasy series. It is constructed from 20+
computer keyboard mounted to a chair. The keyboards and have been
shaped and melted to follow the form of the chair, the shape of the
user, and to meld together into a combined whole.
The underlying message is one of suffering. The keyboards have been
melted and warped. They’re made to twist to fit, but at the same time
that renders them unuseable because they cannot fulfill their intended
purpose. The keyboards are black and silver, and the underlying chair is
white, but those colours have been replaced with black, in whole or in
random splotches.
The keyboard warping includes the scorching of almost all of the ESC
keys to symbolize how impossible it can be escape suffering and
blackness. The only key that is consciously left undamaged is the ESC
key on the highest positioned keyboard.
Around the back, the keyboard cables have been arranged like human hair
with an attempt to braid the cables that is ultimately left in a tangle.
This denotes how good plans and order can degenerate into chaos.

Who doesn't know what Trolling is? Here's a very short history lesson. It supposedly started in the late 80's, and at the time it was pretty much trying to piss someone off in order to get a rise out of them, earliest known case was 1992.
In the early part of 2000 it mostly had to do with being a prick on the internet because you could. You would pretty much be a bully and would unleash one or more cynical or sarcastic remarks on an innocent by-stander, because it's the internet and, hey, you can.
But today, it's taken a different turn. It's become the art of pranking. Yep, everyone's done it. It's when you play a prank on your sister, brother, mom, dad, co-worker, or friends by doing such things as placing a thousand post it notes on their car, wrapping their desk items in gift wrapping paper - that sort of thing. I've done it. :-)
Today I bring you my new series - Troll of the Day!
And here is my next project... LOL.
There's no better way of starting my blog this morning, than to blog about this father and his two kids performing a cover to Depeche Mode's "Everything Counts". Absolute genius I'm telling you. The father is using an 80's keyboard, a xylophone, a kazoo, tambourine, Coke bottle and his voice. His daughter is using a recorder, a rattle, windchime and her voice. And his son is using a toy keyboard, maraca, cheese grater and his voice. And it actually doesn't sound bad, it's great! I love it!
This is what my segment "The Joys of Being A Parent" is all about. Fathers and their kids, Mothers and their kids, and children in general. We were all there at some point, and when a parent shows this much interest in their babies as this man does, there is nothing but happiness and joy when I'm blogging about it.
A YouTube commenter said it best when he wrote this:
