If You Have to Go Outside This Summer


…you have my apologies. Nerds are not built for the outside. The extreme temperatures. The weather. That giant yellow ball that burns our flesh and makes our eyes hurt when we look at it. All bad news. Still, if you have to go outside this summer and are a nerd, you should severely think about one or both of these two beach/pool toys:

?First it’s an inflatable d20 from ThinkGeek. It’s only $12, which is a helluva of a deal for the ability to make a Saving Throw versus sun burn, or bullies kicking sand in your face.

?Next it’s an R2-D2 inflatable drink server. This thing is honestly so wonderful that I want to cry, since it takes a normal activity and makes it both nerdy and alcoholic. It’s from Jakks Pacific and due out sometime this year, apparently. I’m thinking about buying one and just keeping it in my tub. That’s not weird, right? Thanks to Imon Fyre for the tip.
