Geeky, But Practical

[TorontoTrekker]

The other day I saw a posting about the Star Trek Clock on Facebook. Want!

Walkie-talkies in the shape of TOS communicators. Those and a Spock (ST:TMP) bust/liquor carafe.

And doesn't everyone have drinking glasses with various Star Wars scenes/characters on them (from Burger King in the 1980s)?

 

[AstroSmurf]

^ No. But I do have the four recent Trek Burger King glasses. Does that count?

And speaking of geek and glasses, I have been searching high and low for a set of the Hardee's Smurf glasses from the mid-1980's. So far I have found only one mint full set but it was so over-priced I couldn't make the purchase and feel good about it.

I challenge everyone to come up with at least one item that they would love to have in their house that non geeks/nerds/dweebs wouldn't. The catch is that they have to be useful.

I present to you: Stargate Coasters

They are brilliant. When back in stock, I will be purchasing.

They're okay as long as you don't leave your mug on them for more than 38 minutes.

Not a huge SG fan in general, but those coasters are cool!

So what happens at minute 39?

The event horizon disappears, the top portion of the mug falls through the gate onto the table, and any of the by now cold remaining contents flood all over the table top.

I seriously want a steampunk desktop computer.

That is awesome! I want one too! Maybe in twenty years I can get young master trampledamage to build one for me

^ Give him a little while. He might do it now. I have found if you give a kid a box of Legos they can build just about anything.

^Build and/or repair just about anything...

Those and a Spock (ST:TMP) bust/liquor carafe.

I've got one of those. I've never used it, though. It's still in the box.

And doesn't everyone have drinking glasses with various Star Wars scenes/characters on them (from Burger King in the 1980s)?

I had the original set from the 70s and the Empire Strikes Back set; I think they're at my father's place (I doubt that he would have thrown them out - he actually understands the value of things like that).

I hope so. I just showed this to my 12-year-old Lego freak, and I hope he's inspired.
