I am the biggest geek ever.

My life-sized Captain America shield arrived in the mail yesterday from Midtown Comics. Just had to gloat a little in my geekdom.



This is a picture with my head in it for reference.



You too could order it from Midtown Comics if only they were still in stock.

I got 3. One for my apartment. One for my office at the VA. The last for my office at the U.

I am such a loooooooser. But I revel. Revel I say.

Holy shit. You know, though; if you were a real geek, you'd have bought one shield, and carried it with you as you traveled between the three locations.

You do have a contender, though, Ai-bu9.

V-man has purchased a patch from the BSG auction, I believe for the Pegasus ship. He has also bid on the life-sized viper, but luckily for him he did not win as

A) He doesn't have the fucking room in his house for a space ship, and

B) He actually didn't have the $1,000,000 he said he had when he bid on it. Good thing some other guy bid $1,000,001.

Seeing those items out of context makes them look strangely hokey. I wonder ow they will fare thirty years from now. I wonder if we'll all be like "That show? It was cheesy. Fun, but cheesy."
