Silliness THE best website EVER!

pshrynk · 08-10-2008, 10:51 AM

I know, it's been brought up before, but way back in the ancient times of '04 was the last mention.

So, anyway, my daughter in law has one of those jobs where you get so mind-numbingly bored that all you can do to preserve your sanity is to surf the web while the supervisor is absent. (Now, just where might I have run into such a thing before?)

She came across this site. Thinkgeek.com. It is the most wonderful website ever! It has something for everyone: Taylor, Vivaldi, Marc, Marc, Ricky, Nekochan, Queen Zee, Marc (Funny how he keeps showing up), TinMouse, Geoff, Patricia (in case she ever wants to go work at a school that makes a real difference

), Uncle Duke, Ricky (again), Nate, Spartacus, and anyone else that I haven't thoguht of.

But, and here is my point, I have already picked out my Christmas present this year: JOY! Or, failing that...

So, put the vapor coolers on your credit cards and get shopping, folks!

oh, i LOVE thinkgeek. i'm actually afraid to click on any of those linkies you provided (especially the one with my name on it...) because every time i go to that site i get sucked in and wander through category upon category of completely frivolous gadgets and toys wishing i could buy EVERY SINGLE ONE.

pshrynk · 08-10-2008, 10:59 AM

I'll do it for you,then:

zelda_pinwheel · 08-10-2008, 11:04 AM

damn you, pshrynk !!

(actually, i'm safe, because while i sincerely appreciate the thought, that is one of the few items for sale on that fine / fiendish website which would not be on my list for immediate acquisistion. nice try-- i mean, "thanks for the effort of providing a photo so i won't even have to click" though.)

zelda_pinwheel · 08-10-2008, 11:28 AM

actually, most of the things you linked to would be on my list, including (yes) the three-tiered alarm, bender the cigar-smoking robot, the doomsday button, throwzini the circus knife holder, and a t-shirt that says "it's not about the video game, damned !"

and many many more.

vivaldirules · 08-10-2008, 11:31 AM

Last year I gave several USB Rocket Launchers for office gifts. Some offices became battle zones for months after that. The USB Lava Lamp was also a big hit.
