About The COA

We were originally going to call ourselves The League of Extraordinary Gentlemen, but a) Alan Moore threatened to sue and b) we didn’t want the non-righteousness of the film version to rub off on us, because let’s face it, that was not awesome. It was the very antithesis of awesomeness.

But when we aren’t having epic sword fights with ninjas, fighting telekinetic zombie sharks with our bare hands, wrestling bears for fun and battling supervillains from our subterranean lair, we are putting together the most kickass of blogs.

How awesome are we? We only drink water distilled from Chuck Norris’s tears, as bottled by Jackie Chan, who is our loyal manservant and trusted advisor. And he plays a mean axe too. In fact, when we all get together and jam, we cause all the planets to align and for a brief time, we can truly communicate with all life in the universe (and consequently, we end up wrestling bears again because they always say bad things about our wives and girlfriends).

We taught Bruce Campbell everything he knows.

And on the weekends, we all pilot flying animal-themed robots which can combine to form a massive humanoid robot, which we then use to defend Earth from danger. And to score sweet review copies… because everyone wants to give review copies to robots And their handsome pilots.

If you leave a comment and it needs moderation, we are likely doing motorcycle jumps through the gaping jaws of a T. Rex or have a Predator in a headlock, and we will approve your comment as soon as we are finished doing that.

Who We Are:

After far too many years, Arjan has finally finished his BA in communication and hopes to his Masters this year. To pay for this he works as a cleaner and by saving up from some of the other jobs he had. Boring stuff aside, he is a tv series and music addict and builds/paints/plays Warhammer 40k and has too many other hobbies to mention, all of which struggle for his divided attention.

Part time stay-at-home dad and part time mental health nurse, Dan cut his pop culture teeth on Star Wars, DC Superheroes, and The Muppets and never saw a need to develop his tastes much further than that. He lives in Huddersfiled, England with his wife, two children, and a flock of megalomaniac chickens.

Jeff‘s coefficient of awesomeness is 3. He generally spends his time surfing the web for cool, geeky things, getting very excited about it, and then not following up on writing about them on his blog. He also has a job, 2 wonderful kids, and an awesome wife (though she won’t let him wear his Dilbert “Go Fax Yourself” t-shirt anymore).

Lee is a Blogger, social media guy, artist, pop culturalist. Writer of really poor bylines! I’ll make some sort of vague promise to expand upon this in the future but if I were a betting man… I also prefer cocoa rocks to cocoa pops even though they don’t make them in Australia any longer :(

Matthew has done many awesome things in his life. For instance, in one day, he punched a gorilla in luchador gear in the groin, took down a bunch of giants, shot some terrorists, and just for the fun of it, wrote a few blog posts. It was a very full day.

When he’s not bouncing with a bit of bipolar-ism, or arking up over his Aspie-ness, SG-3 tries to wrangle his six kids under the age of 12 (including triplets, one of which has a “delightful combination” of heart defects) – but is not very good at it. A lover the great Tasmanian outdoors, but disliker of camping (especially sleeping bags!), he enjoys the odd bit of geocaching. In fact the odder the better!
