Valhalla, I am coming!

Yo,

I've spent many years of my life trying to turn UGO.com into something entertaining for you guys. Hopefully you stopped by recently to watch one our funny videos. Or you found yourself debating one of our nerd culture lists, read a movie review or pondered the age old question "Who would win in a fight, a minotaur armed with a trident or a centaur armed with a crossbow." Could be you tried to win something off our homepage or you Googled "Hot Girls" and found a couple of pics you liked. I don't really care how you got here, just as long as you were entertained when you did.

Be excellent to each other,

Chris Radtke

Jesus. That lasted long. Won't catch a break, will he?

Poor Rorie :'(

Locking this in favour of this, slightly earlier thread.
