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.

@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.

@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.
