I’m looking for a comic that used to run in the Onion [A.V. Club](http://www.avclub.com/content/), like Red Meat does now. Every week, it detailed an apparently true, reader-submitted story about being a young and pitiful geek. The Onion stopped carrying it probably five or six years ago, but it did have its own website. I thought it was called “Tragic Geek Stories,” but I’ve been completely unable to find even a reference to it online, so now I’m thinking that I might have the name wrong.
Does anyone know what I’m talking about and where I might find it today? Thanks.

[Pathetic Geek Stories](http://www.patheticgeekstories.com/). Unfortunately it’s never updated.
