A cubicle or desk populated with toys that came from ThinkGeek

What year is it?

checks git blame

Oh... 2014. That checks out.

Man, I used to really like browsing the stuff at ThinkGeek. Even bought a few things. Now that it's owned by... I wanna say GameStop?... it's ceased to be interesting to me. I liked things like the laundry basket that looked like a radioactive barrel, the shower gel that looks like a blood bag... that kind of light-hearted novelty stuff. But the new owner just gutted all the interesting content, and it's just all IP collectables now.

It's been long enough I forgot bout ThinkGeek. Damn. Wish something like it were still around.

I still use my Bag of Holding, haven't found a messenger bag that comes close. Mid 2000's ThinkGeek was the best. I still mourn the loss of them.
