Geek Apparel of the Week: Incantor
 |
If you recognize the item on this shirt, then I probably don’t need to tell you why it’s awesome. The only thing I rocked harder than a Speak n’ Spell was the Speak n’ Math, and yes, I did get all the ladies in third grade, although these plastic tablets of learning were so much better than having real friends or a Nintendo. The shirt is $20 from Wire & Twine, who I discovered this past weekend after by this even awesomer (but technically less nerdy) shirt of a guide to men’s facial hair; there’s also a shirt of badass women’s hairstyles. I humbly suggest that any of them would be well worth your $.
About The Author
Robert Bricken is one of the original co-founders of the site formerly known as Topless Robot, and its first editor-in-chief, serving from 2008-12. He brought the site to prominence with “nerd news, humor and self-loathing” as its motto, raising it from total internet obscurity to a readership in the millions, with help from his savage “FAQ” movie reviews and Fan Fiction Fridays. Under his tenure Topless Robot was covered by Gawker, Wired, Defamer, New York magazine, ABC News, and others, and his articles have been praised by Roger Ebert, Avengers actor Clark Gregg, comedian and The Daily Show correspondent John Hodgman, the stars of Mystery Science Theater 3000 and Rifftrax, and others. He is currently the managing editor of io9.com. Despite decades as both an amateur and professional nerd, he continues to be completely unprepared for either the zombie apocalypse or the robot uprising.
