While shopping at Wal-Mart this past weekend, I stumbled across these superhero briefs for men. Yes, these are for adults. They look like overgrown Underoos. While I’m always thrilled to find superhero apparel, these are not something I would wear. This takes scaring away the ladies and reinforcing stereotypes to a whole new level. And […]

Here are some Halloween costume ideas! All of these costumes appeared at DragonCon 2010. Some of these are incredibly elaborate, while others are fairly simple and could be made by you at home with a little time and effort. There were hundreds (if not thousands) of different costumes at DragonCon. These just happen to represent […]

Yesterday I posted several items I received for my birthday, including a TARDIS Cookie Jar. Today I’ll be covering the awesome geek-related t-shirts I received! This first shirt came from my four year old daughter, the Precocious Princess. She knows her daddy loves Star Wars so she picked out this shirt for me! I love […]

Back in the late-80s through the mid-90s I was a big fan of pins. I loved wearing pins on my shirts, especially those associated with comic books! Thankfully comic companies were generous with giveaway pins and also sold some nice quality cloisonne pins. Cloisonne pins are small decorative pins worn on the lapel of a […]

This isn’t an official video, the music is really what I’m pointing out. If you can’t view the embedded video above, please click here. (Lyrics) I’m flying through the cold of space […]
