There is truly a day for everything. Wink I think I'm going to declare tomorrow lazy fat white guy day. I'm going to drink wine and lie on the couch and watch football.

Think Geek had a special up on April Fool's day last year for a player like those DVD/VHS players that was an HD DVD/Betamax player. I thought it was the most hilarious thing I had ever seen...which proves what a geek I am.

OK, I'll admit it most of this is "greek" to this geek, but the two younger geeks in the house will love it!

This is the item that got us hooked on ThinkGeek a few years back : http://www.thinkgeek.com/tshirts-apparel/interactive/991e/ (P.S. It really works!)
