Geek Apparel of the Week: Special Potion, Serenity Browncoats, Thanks for All the Fish
? The official alcoholic beverage of Hyrule. Like many of my favorite nerd shirts, I think most normal people would assume this is a real beer logo until you got drunk, told them otherwise, and then they go talked to someone cooler. It’s $12 at Qwertee for a few more hours.
? This is Mal Reynolds riding the Serenity like a mechanical bull. ‘Nuff said. Well, one more thing: This shirt should’ve totally been named “Ride ’em Cowboy.”
It’s $12 at Nowhere Bad for about a day.
? I feel like I post far too few
Hitchhiker’s Guide to the Galaxy-inspired shirts, so here’s one with the answer to Life, the Universe and Everything on it. You’re welcome.
It’s $12 at Woot for the rest of the day.
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.
