A geoduck is a kind of large clam found on (or rather under) the beaches of the Pacific Northwest. It's pronounced "gooey-duck".
This particular Geoduck suspects he is an ancient fossil compared to most Tropers, but hey, there's a bit of life left in the old clam. A lot of the stuff listed below is for my personal record-keeping purposes, but hey, enjoy it if you can!

This Modern World
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.
Semi-currently on TV, he enjoys
Doctor Who and its various spin-offs,
Storage Wars,
Mythbusters,
Futurama,
Phineas and Ferb and
The Walking Dead. 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 travel writer
Bill Bryson. Other computer games he plays are
Dwarf Fortress,
Sid Meier's Alpha Centauri and
Catan Online.
He also does a daily fantasy
webcomic which has managed to score a couple of unsolicited
trope example listings. Woot!
Other than that, he's a slacker.
