Game Of Thrones Star Peter Dinklage Leads 2012's Walk for Farm Animals

Peter Dinklage, who plays Tyrion Lannister on HBO’s Game of Thrones, is Farm Sanctuary‘s spokesperson for their 2012 national Walk for Farm Animals.

Check out the video here below of Dinklage talking about the organization and what they do, as well as their annual Walk For Farm Animals.

Geeks Of Doom proudly supports the efforts of Farm Sanctuary. For years now, we’ve sponsoring animals at their sanctuaries and have participated their Walk For Farm Animals in NYC (and thanks to generous readers like you, we raised a lot of money for the organization last year!). So, we’re extremely excited to see that Dinklage is the spokesperson for the Walk this year (as if we need another reason to love him!).

The Zombie Tarot

Howdy breathers. Your old & rotten pal Obvious Zombie here, and have I got a meaty treat for you GoD readers! Get this. One of you meat sacks went and created a ZOMBIE-themed Tarot deck called The Zombie Tarot: An Oracle of the Undead. Maybe things have changed since my brain turned into gray goo, but from what I remember Tarot decks are used to tell the future. Yes? No? Maybe so?

Being the kindly monstrosity that you all know I am, I’m going to save you some time. Look deeply into my crystal baaaaall. I see you & I together. We’re out. For a nice bit of lunch, it seems. Hrmmm. Your future…it’s hazy. Wait. Oh, silly me. I see it now. We’re not *at* lunch. You *are* my lunch… Ha! I kid the living! But seriously though. That’ll be $50.

I’m sorry. I seem to go off message a lot ever since that dude in Walmart took a Louisville to my left lobe. DON’T WORRY! We were just playing a round of Catch You, Eat You. Contest. CONTEST! Right. We’ve got us a pretty special contest right here. Not only are we Geeks of Doom giving away FIVE copies of The Zombie Tarot: An Oracle of the Undead, but one Grand Prize winner will be getting their own personal tarot reading (via tele) from the author. All made possible by the quirky kooky zany crew at Quirk Books.

Doom Digest

Every day here at Doom HQ we receive tons of tips from our readers about really cool stuff from the world of geek, as well as promotional materials for new films, comic books, collectibles, and much more. While we do our best to bring you as much of it as possible, we don’t always have enough geek manpower available to cover it all on a daily basis. But we hate the idea of all of this really cool stuff wasting away in our inbox. How could we NOT cover it? Hence why we’ve resurrected our long-defunct column Bits Of Doom, now rebranded and revamped as Doom Digest, a collection of easily digestible bits of news, videos, photos, and other goodies.

Today: Martin Freeman beatboxing in Ali G Indahouse, Spider-Man bathrobes, Harry Potter supercut of all the spells, artist recreation of the magazine covers seen in Blade Runner, how The Avengers should have ended, and Snow White’s Scary Adventures takes it final journey at Disney World, plus Bits Of Doom.

Remembering The Great Led Zeppelin Drummer John Bonham

John Bonham Led Zeppelin

May 31 marks the birthday of John Bonham, the late drummer of Led Zeppelin, who totally influenced and changed the rules of hard rock and roll and contemporary blues with his power, wallop, speed, a right foot as fast as Mercury, and an almost athleticism on his drum kit, which to this day is regarded by some as the greatest techniques and posturing ever put forth on that musical instrument.

Born in 1948, in Redditch, Worcestershire, England, Bonham began playing percussion at five years old, beating on a makeshift drum set made out of containers and coffee tins, doing his best Gene Krupa and Buddy Rich imitations, who were two of his idols. His mom gave him his first snare drum when he was ten. He got his first real kit, a Premier Percussion set, from his father five years later. Bonham never had any formal training of any kind, except for the countless records he listened to growing up. When he was in school, his headmaster wrote once on his school report card that “he will either end up a dustman or a millionaire.” After school, working a day job as an apprentice carpenter, he tooled around in various local bands, eventually joining a one called Crawling King Snakes, which featured Robert Plant on lead vocals. The two of them eventually formed Band of Joy.
