This past Friday, Wil Wheaton blogged about reading Gnome Stew…and made nine grown men — us gnomes — have spontaneous, awkward-to-explain nerdgasms on the spot.
I’ve never had the pleasure of meeting Wil, but I enjoy his blog, WWdN: In Exile. He’s a geek with a long acting career (Stand by Me was his big breakout; you most likely know him for Star Trek: The Next Generation), a killer poker game, and excellent taste in GMing blogs.
And he reads Gnome Stew! That totally rocks. Mission accomplished — we will be closing the site tomorrow, kissing our wives/girlfriends/gerbils goodbye, and dying happy geeks.
I read about this site on Wil Wheaton’s blog and then added it to my RSS feed list on Google Reader. I figured he might have something…
My nerdgasm was so intense that I am now pregnant with Wil Wheaton’s baby. That’s how geekaliscious this is for us gnomes!
Noooooo!! Don’t do it! Like Shadoeknight, I only just found this site through Wil’s Blog. I’ve been enjoying catching up on the articles. Don’t leave me now!
Heh. I’d imagine your traffic has dramatically increased since Friday!!
it shouldn’t be surprising, though. wil has always been one of us. we read gnome stew. therefore, his distinctiveness has already been added to our…
er, HI WIL!
I bow down before your awesomeness, gnomes.
@GeeksDreamGirl – Bow lower… We Gnomes aren’t gnown for our height…

Welcome to the party, Wil. We hope you enjoy reading our stuff at least half as much as we enjoy reading yours.
Hooray. Logically, it’s only a matter of time before the rest of us get a link too.

Wow, all I can say is wow. Good work.
@ Kurt – Shall I kneel first, THEN bow? π
@GeeksDreamGirl – You can come crawling in on your belly, and still be taller than us gnomes. We prefer to be big where it counts…
You know – the ego. π
