The Think Geek catalog came in the mail the other day.
It only comes once a year.
You know what that means …!!!
That I’m going to review it, of course. Note: I do not want these things. This is not a Christmas list. Have you seen my apartment? It’s the size of your rich aunt’s master closet. Don’t give me toys, because I need room for useful things like a PlayStation 3 and cute shoes. But! Take what I have to say for what it’s worth and consider stuffing some lucky person’s stocking with these lay-up (as in “swishhhhhhh!”) gifts.
Nyco’s Think Geek Catalog Super Duper Awesome List:
Laser-guided Scissors – Finally.
Handpresso – I don’t know how well this works, but it looks cool!
Collapsible Chopsticks – So you don’t have to ask for ‘em anymore…
Ultra-thin Digital Voice Recorder – Genius on the go.
Pocket Microscope – For the exceptionally curious, or the exceptionally blind.
Animated Driving LED Emoticons – Advancing beyond the middle finger.
Tetris Puzzle Game Magnets – Yes!!!
Not a Paper Cup – Dude, so kitschy.
R2 Fish Training School Kit – For that person who thinks their fish is smart.
Deluxe Jedi Robe – Everyone knows someone who will love this.
R/C Animated Solar System Mobile – Because you wanted one when you were a kid.
Magnogrip – It’s like a tool belt for your wrist.
LED Umbrella – Meet people! Especially Blade Runner fans.
Okay, that’s it.
As other holiday special editions roll in, I’ll be sure to share the best bits. No, I’m not getting paid for this. If someone wanted to pay me for it I wouldn’t protest, though.
Happy holidays to all.
