ThinkGeek
is a
real danger to the credit rating
of the casual surfer. We challenge you to browse its extensive
catalogue of online toys and joys without spending anything!
In just one hour, your Secretary General had Wish-Listed nearly a dozen fantastic items, printed a copy and burned it in the fireplace "for Santa to read".
From wannabee Anakin Skywalkers to dyed-in-the-wool Unix buffs who ain't ashamed to tell the world, ThinkGeek has something for everybody.
Of particular interest is an array of gadgets that makes R2D2 look like an Atari 2600 gaming system.

tremendous
time wasters and must-have solutions to problems you didn't know
existed!
Tired of those loser fellow commuters who drive inches away from your bumper while gabbing on their cell phones?
Now you can tell them to BACK OFF, call them an IDIOT, or send them a smiley or frowny face as you drive, all at the touch of a button!
We have only one question. Why are these emoticons for
your car
not standard
equipment for every vehicle on the road?! Well done, ThinkGeek.
Nobody remembers how it began. Perhaps Frank in cubicle B didn't water your plant while you on vacation, like you asked him politely to. Or maybe it was Celia who spilled coffee on your keyboard and didn't clean it up.
Whatever the cause, cubicle wars are serious business. And, just like the Cold War, you should escalate your cubicle war with the help of ThinkGeek and this amazing USB rocket launcher.
It fires three rockets up to ten feet away with the click of a
mouse. You can bet that once
you unleash electric death on his console, Frank won't
forget to water your apidistra again! And for the truly evil among you,
check out the
DELUXE model
with double
the range...
Let's face it. We all want to be Harrison Ford, even though Regarding Henry took some of the sheen off of Indiana Jones and Temple of Doom.
With the help of ThinkGeek's cunning designers, now you can
hold the rain off your head in true style, with
a glowing umbrella
like
the ones they had in Bladerunner.
It won't guarantee you $20m per picture, but you will look a
bit cooler as you try to stay a bit warmer.
We'd all love to earn an extra life every 10,000 points, but it's just not possible (unless you're Elton John. Allegedly).
Meanwhile, relive your wasted days of youth with a 1up track jacket.
Featuring a Mario Bros-style mushroom and the immortal 1up text, you may not feel immortal while wearing it.
But it's sure to be a talking point as the paramedics recussitate you for the third time on the way to the ER.
You may have a killer collection of beer glasses, but nothing as amazingly pointless as this!
The
glowing plasma mug
'charges'
itself on its own special
coaster.
Then, as you drink, touching the sides will creating a creepy, swirling effect as the plasma follows your finger.
Not ideal conditions under which to check the colour of your latest beer, but certainly more fun than the old pint glass you stole from the Saracen's Head in 1989.
It's possible to make a case for purchasing almost anything in
this consumerist world of ours. So, who could possibly resist Nabaztag,
the WiFi smart rabbit
and his mate?
You need reasons? He can tell the time. And tell you when you receive an email. And read the news or weather off the Internet. Even give you Tai Chi lessons!
More gadgets are becoming available all the time, including a microphone so you can talk to Nab, a wife for him who will copy his movements and the ability for him to read your SMS texts to you!
Indispensible, I'm sure you'd agree.
They look, heft and even sound like the 'real' thing.
Yes, young Skywalker, ThinkGeek has the ultimate in Star Wars memorabilia: actual working light sabres.
Okay, so they won't slice your boss into sushi or allow you to throw out all your kitchen knives, but you can still stage cool fights with your mates.
And maybe save the universe, again.
Or, as in this case, you can comfort your Youngling by letting him play with the best in Jedi death-dealers. Use the force!
We all need someting to keep our IKEA furniture in top shape.
Beer is cold and makes condensation circles on everything it touches! Horror of horrors.
Can nobody save the day?
ThinkGeek to the rescue! These beautiful and practical circuit
board coasters
come in
their own truly geeky holder and look fantastic,
while keeping the stains off your black ash and smoked glass
"collectible" 70s gear.
That guy who's always making your life hell at work is so damn smug. He thinks the sun shines out of his arse. Bastard.
Get even with the world's most annoying gadget, the Annoyatron.
It's not much bigger than a quarter, meaning you can secrete it in the smallest of places. Every so often, it will emit an electronic chirp. This will vary in duration and pitch, making it virtually impossible for your victim to zero in on its location.
Smile as he dismantles his entire cubicle in a vain search for the Annoyatron. Giggle while you drink a pint at lunchtime as he stays behind to search for the damn thing.
Just one thing: don't forget where you hid it, or you will be as irritated by it as he is. For months.
ThinkGeek encourages its customers to come up with ideas for new products and even pays a cash reward for those it uses.
"I
spent my
reward on Ale and Whores"
is a
customer's
suggestion and the perfect outerwear for your next pub crawl.
As you can see from this customer's action shot, the T-shirt is guaranteed to attract both tasty alcoholic beverages and tasty women of questionable virtues.
Wear it with pride, with passion, with prostitutes and with pints.
