Think Geek
ThinkGeek started as an idea. A simple idea to create and sell stuff that would appeal to the thousands of people out there who were on the front line and in the trenches as the Internet was forged. From programmers, engineers, students, lovers of open source, to the masses that helped create the behind-the-scenes Internet culture. ThinkGeek started as a way to serve a market that was passionate about technology. Three out of the four founding members started an ISP in the Northern Virginia area way way bck in 1995. We couldn't afford Solaris, learned about a free UNIX-like OS, and spent almost an entire day downloading it onto over 50 floppies for installation on an old 486 laptop with no cd-rom (thanks Slackware!). After a few years with the ISP gig, the ThinkGeek idea popped into our heads, and, operating out of a spare room at the ISP office we setup shop and launched the site on Friday the 13th, 1999.

  • """So what's a pwny?"" you might ask. Pwnies are just like real ponies except with less mucking out stalls and more fragging of the enemy. What could be better than having your own pwnies to play with? You could braid their manes, feed them apples, equip them with rocket-propelled grenade launchers.... There's no end to the fun you can have with your little pwnies. Two prancing controller-ponies with the phrase ""OMG Pwnies!"" printed in tan, grey, and red (non-glitter) ink on a black, 100% cotton t-shirt.".

  • "After sitting through four years of dull interspecies protocol seminars and tactical maneuvers groundwork, you successfully graduated from Starfleet Academy. As a newly commissioned Federation security officer, your first assignment is on board a Constitution-class heavy cruiser. You straighten out the collar on your crisp red shirt as you walk down the corridor toward the transporter. You've been summoned to provide defensive support for a landing party consisting of the top officers on board. This is your chance to shine. Shine like a phaser set to ""frag."" Perhaps you should have gone into science. In the Star Trek universe, the Red Shirt is the phase-cannon fodder obliterated on screen to alert the audience to the danger of the situation. It's Roddenberry proclaiming, ""We could have just killed one of the characters you cared about!"" The Red Shirt is a sci-fi idiom for the anonymous, the expendable, the smoking boots behind a boulder. We've printed that word, ""Expendable,"" in

  • "Ah, glorious ethanol, aka ethyl alcohol. How we love you. We would count the ways, but we can't remember them all. And even if we could, we like to count on our fingers, and we might not have the motor coordination for that right now. So we'll leave the exact number of ways we love you unsaid. But it's a lot. Our artist figured ethanol deserved slightly different treatment than our Caffeine Molecule, Capsaicin Molecule, and Chocolate Molecule designs. The ancient Egyptians may have had 17 different types of beer, but it wasn't until 1808 that Nicolas-Théodore de Saussure determined ethanol's magical chemical formula, hence our established on date for the molecular structure. This is a black, 100% cotton t-shirt. The ethyl alcohol moleculecular structure is emblazoned in white on a red emblem encircled with a golden-yellow edge and flanked by stalks of blessed grain, the fermentation of which presumably led to the alcohol molecular structure shown. Beneath is a banner of the same yello

You can be shot by a poisonous plant, step on an exploding rock, be struck by lightning, get whacked by a native with a big stick, choke on a dikironium cloud, or, our personal favorite, be beamed down to a planet that's not actually there and get sucked into space, never to be seen again. But it's an entirely different matter when Bones says, ""He's undead, Jim."" That's way worse than dead, and the entire galaxy could be at risk! Be sure to double tap with your phaser. Fun factoid: The very first ""He's dead, Jim"" referred to a dog that had an unfortunate encounter with a transporter. Yeah. You knew that. But what is it with us using dogs for space experimentation? They may be ""man's best friend,"" but, if actions speak louder than words, the feeling's not so much mutual. (Don't worry. We won't be sending any of our puppies into space, fictional or otherwise.) Red shirt zombie with the subtitle ""He's Undead, Jim."" on a charco

However, we think it was probably a little more traumatic for the whale and the bowl of petunias. When you come into the world at something like 35000 ft., it's not likely to end well.

Well, if you drew one of the knights who until recently said ""ni"" as your choice, you'd be in luck. The whole scene is basically one long wish list. You could deliver the mightiest tree in the forest, wrapped up in a bow, or possibly just the herring, which is easier to transport. And, of course, shrubberies. You can never go wrong with a shrubbery (one that looks nice but not too expensive). Or, if you knew the knight's size, you could get him a shirt honoring his profession. One very much like this one.

But sometimes you've got to mix it up a little. You don't feel like sitting around playing the damsel in distress, patiently waiting for some Y chromosome to come to your aid. In fact, you might have to rescue some poor, wayward princes on your quest, which is okay. As long as they don't get in the way. If you're reading this page, we're betting that you are that superheroine. But if you're not, we know you have one in your life.

Donating various bodily fluids. Did you see the documentary about the law school guy who has over 70 kids?
