About the Founders

they call me MISTER leg

Mister Leg
One of the co-creators of Legnog.com, Mister Euphemias P. Leg was born to poor parents in the grip of the Great Depression. At the age of 10, he was locked in an icehouse and frozen until 1972, when he was finally discovered by employees of the icehouse, and unfrozen.

After this little adventure, Leg enrolled in the computer science program of Vassar University, which is where he met up with Mister Nog. The two decided to go into business for themselves, and began peddling their hand-made matches to Vassar undergrads. The pennies they made from this venture went immediately into the bank, where they were embezzled by unscrupulous employees and used to purchase their liquid lunches.

Undaunted, the duo persevered, and eventually established the Legnog Consortium, a multinational nonprofit organization whose main interest is in lining nuns up along the banks of various European rivers, and then giving them a good push.

Leg currently lives in a compound in Sri Lanka, and is currently trying to win the Nobel Prize by teaching egrets how to do the Mashed Potato.

 

they call me MISTER nog

Mister Nog
If one were pressed to pick one word to describe Mister Nog, that word would probably be "self-assured". Oh wait, does a hyphenated word count as one, or two? I'll have to look it up in the dictionary. I'll get back to you on that one.

Eukarachy "Nog" von Noggensniffer was born Gary Lee in post-war Indiana. His parents, self-employed vacuum cleaner technicians, gave him up for adoption soon after he was born, but somehow the young tot found his way back to their home. The luckless parents were stuck with him.

Raised in a strict house, "Nog" got his nickname from his favorite book in the Bible, which he endlessly repeated in his sleep. After his exasperated parents sent him to boarding school to get themselves some peace and quiet, these nocturnal ramblings abruptly ceased. But the damage had been done.

Coming of age in a war-torn Indiana, Mister Nog chose Vassar for his graduate work, where he met up with Mister Leg. Harboring his reservations about any business ventures involving people other than himself, Nog swallowed his pride and began selling "Leg & Nog's Miraculous Cat Fixative" out of his dorm room. After making $1.5 billion dollars in profits, Nog ended his school career and moved into his parent's house, which he had bought and transported cross-country to be balanced upon the Washington Monument.

Mister Nog still lives there today, pitching pennies off the side of the monument, to watch in glee as they plummet down to the ground below, where they tear huge gashes in the skulls of unwitting passersby. He has no contact with the makers of this Website, and in lieu of creative control of the content of this site, Mister Nog instead asked for three pocket combs.

About the Staff

And what about the Website? "Who works on it?", I hear a strangled cry. Well, look no further than the rest of this page for bios on the staff of people working anon.

Jesus, oh yeah

Jesus H. Christ
Born in the Midwest, Jesus went through several jobs before coming to Legnog. He's in charge of the graphics, and all alphanumeric characters.

 

Strommy-strom-strom

Strom Thurmond
Strom Thurmond is one of America's leading statesmen and one of its strongest voices of the United States Senate. President Pro Tempore of the United States Senate and chairman of the powerful Senate Judiciary Committee, he is third in the constitutional line of succession to the Presidency of the United States. This is his first Website, and he is in charge of the background colors.

 

Nizzancy Drizzew

Nancy Drew
In her personal life, you won't catch Nancy Drew passing on a whodunit to spend more quality-time with her steady boyfriend Ned Nickerson. Nancy's truelove is criminal-hunting. Her girlfriends, George and Bess, who couldn't be more different in personality are alike in their willingness to pitch in on Nancy's investigations whenever they're needed. Nancy has worked on several Websites, including HotHotHot and NOAA. Nancy is in charge of obtaining the proper legal rights for all clipart used on Legnog, as well as leading pilgrims through the Forest of Knives, to the foothills of Mount Peraboo.

 

Frenchie

Frenchie, the stereotypical Frenchman
When not eating a croissant, sipping Perrier or lovingly touching his Jerry Lewis movies, Frenchie can be found playing the accordion along the banks of the Seine, sniffing disdainfully at American tourists, and overpowering all passers-by with his body odor. Frenchie is in charge of Web logs, café au lait, and peppering his speech with the phrase "’Ow you say?"
