Geek Apparel of the Week: Master of the Universe? and Caped Socks
 |
?? I’m not quite so far gone as to ask someone to write fan fiction for me, but if anyone knows of any fan fiction where He-Man fights Darth Vader for control of the universe, I might be a little interested in reading it. PG please, because I promise you I could find erotic He-Man /Darth Vader fan fic if I wanted to, and I don’t. At all. Anyways, this shirt is $26 at RedBubble.

?? 80s Tees is offering three caped knee-high socks: Batman (above), Superman and Wonder Woman. They really upset me for some reason, although I’m not sure why. They’re $15 here (except Superman’s, which are $10. Sorry Supes).

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.
