A geoduck is a kind of large clam found on (or rather under) the beaches of the Pacific Northwest. It's pronounced "gooey-duck".

He's been adding examples from these, along with Robert Asprin's Myth Adventures novels, the novel Warday, and the various Tremors movies. And of course, the seminal computer game NetHack; he enjoys this one to the point that he created an alternate Tile Set
for it. Among those who use such things, it has been fairly well received.
On TV, he enjoys/enjoyed Doctor Who and its various spin-offs, Storage Wars, Mythbusters, Community, Phineas and Ferb and Brooklyn Nine-Nine. Several of the above quotes came from Red Dwarf, The Simpsons and Kim Possible. Other favorite authors/quote providers include P. G. Wodehouse, Terry Pratchett, Stephen King, and the comedic writers Patrick McManus and Bill Bryson. Other computer games he plays are Dwarf Fortress, Spelunky and Zuma.
He also does a fantasy webcomic which has managed to score a couple of unsolicited trope example listings. Woot!
Other than that, he's a slacker. Woah.
