Today I turn 27! It is very exciting. And so here are a handful of things that are ‘for the house’ but also reflect the ridiculously nerdiness that is not quite hidden within me. Everything is from ThinkGeek except for the last.
Pizza: the final frontier. Look at this pizza cutter, though; it’s super sleek and you can make warp drive noises as you slice into the pizza.
Part one in a ridiculous round-up of Adventure Time stuff is a pair of mugs based on the Card Wars episode (I totally have the game as an app and it is as fun as it looks in the show). I would probably claim the Dweeb one for myself; GY can have the Cool Guy one.
I love Monopoly, and I love Adventure Time. This combines the two in a diabolical game that will tear friendships apart as you scream at each other about stealing the deed to the Nightosphere from under one another’s noses… I must have it.
I told you I have lots of AT stuff. To be honest I’ve either not played Munchkin before or have forgotten what it’s like, but I don’t even care, I just want this game. It looks so fun.
Yet another game that I have the app of and totally adore. Plants vs Zombies is charming yet weirdly challenging (damn you, pole vaulting zombies!), and this game combines it with Risk. Or you can flip the board over and play the regular-style game.
For a slightly more obscure reference, here’s a Firefly version of Clue. River’s been kidnapped – who betrayed her? Was it Mal in the kitchen with plastic dinosaurs? Curse your sudden but inevitable betrayal, Captain Tight Pants!
And the best and most unattainable for last – the Lego Ultimate Collector’s Millennium Falcon. It’s enormous, incredibly detailed, and no longer being produced, which means that it’s selling for about five thousand bucks on the internet. One day I will own this. One day.
Hope you’re all having a great holiday weekend – happy Christmas, and merry new year!
