ThinkGeek Inflatable Star Trek Captain’s chair isn’t a prank

, Apr 3rd 2012 Discuss [3]

If you ever wanted to be Captain Kirk, you obviously need a captain's chair. Sure, you can craft your own from that metal folding chair your mom has since 1972 and a black Sharpie, but that won't get you any geek cred. What you need is to cough up to $24.99 and order ThinkGeek's new Star Trek Inflatable Captain's Chair. Read The Full Story

Lightsaber tie tacks keep your tie in place

, Oct 10th 2011 Discuss [0]

If you are the geek sort that works in an environment where you have to wear pants and dress up with a tie, I am sorry for you. At least you can show how geeky you are with these wild tie tacks. The things look like little metal lightsabers. They are made of cast brass, but they look like pewter to me. I think the Sith Lord might have worn this to his Senate meetings. Read The Full Story

Titanium drinking straw for the neurotic geek

, Jul 21st 2011 Discuss [1]

I used to work with a woman that was weird. She had an unnatural fear of balloons and always brought her own straws to work. Apparently, she didn’t trust the balloons to not pop on her randomly and getting a straw out of a box was gross. What that woman needs is this titanium drinking straw. You can cram it into just about anything you want to drink from oranges to milk cartons. Read The Full Story

Think Geek Tactical Sammich to power zombie fighters of the future

, May 24th 2011 Discuss [0]

Even the CDC has been giving tips to folks on how to stock up to survive a zombie apocalypse. The same survival kit will come in handy for things like earthquakes, floods, and tornados too. Granted in a natural disaster of the non-zombie sort, you will get less use from your machete-throwing slingshot than when the zombie scourge rears its rotting head. Still, the key here is to be prepared for anything. I know many geeks that are powered by Hot Pockets and Dr. Pepper and the thought of going without internet access in a disaster is bad enough, but going sans snackage is more than they can take.
