Just about most of us have our pack of friends. I'd like to think that as nerdy as /ggFTW gets, that you have friends and folks you can relate to.

I've had to rethink things over the years, especially lately. When it comes to /ggFTW, I got my random crew I really like. Some of them make me laugh heartily.
