What do you say we keep up this trend of my favorite sites being the “Website Watch”? In that case, let me introduce (some of) you to my FAVORITE online store, EVER:
Yes, ladies and gents, it’s time to talk about ThinkGeek.
Now, considering that this store has been in business for a pretty long time (hell, I was goofing around in a high school web design class looking at this site, and that was ten years ago!), most of you have probably heard of it. But I always run into the occasional person that hasn’t, and trust me – I’m more than happy to spread the word.
There are so many geeky things at this store. By the very nature of the store, 99% of the products are insanely geeky! Also useful, but definitely nerd-gear! Some examples? Why, of course I can provide them!
Yes, that is a JEDI robe. And really, not that expensive of a Jedi robe (link), considering the quality of it, and the size of it! And why stop there? You could also get Star Wars Force FX lightsabers, classic Hasbro Star Wars blasters, a Tauntaun sleeping bag (may not smell the best, but it will keep ya warm!), last year’s very talked-about Star Wars Force Trainer, a Yoda plush backpack for your school or work things, and a handmade custom saber! Because really, if you’re going to nerd up and refuse to get laid, you might as well do it completely!
So, is that geeky enough for you? No? How about I mention the fact that they have an entire section devoted to caffeinated goods? And not just caffeinated foods, but things like shirts with caffeine molecules, wallets with caffeine molecules, caffeinated SOAP*, and a little bit of caffeinated everything (candy, mints, lip balm, BAWLS energy drink, gum, breath spray). And if caffeine isn’t your thing**, they’ve got the other wonder of the geek food group, too: BACON!!! All. Kinds. Of. Bacon. Stuff.
On top of all that, if you really needed more, they’ve got sections for computer stuff, cool home and office gadgets and knick-knacks, t-shirts and other apparel, books, and even a section for things to buy your little geekling (kids/toddlers/infants’ geek gear).
Do I really need to convince you any more? Because if you aren’t convinced by now, you might be a little hopeless. Tell ya what. Just go check it out. If you don’t like it, blame me. All I know is I’ve gotten plenty of cool stuff from there!

I love this site and used to brows it endlessly. Just wanted to say thanks for re-introducing us, lol.
More than happy to! It's a great site, and I've gotten some great stuff from there (like my Dalek t-shirt)!
By the way, I'm now subscribed via RSS to your LJ. I like reading blogs. :)
