I would buy some of those things if they existed and I lived there. Is the Astronaut ice-cream for real? I was tempted to get that but decided they wouldn't ship it here. It's Greg's birthday soon so I put in an order for a slanket (as seen on Big Bang Theory) and three t-shirts: a BBT one (see icon*), Wargames, and a capsaicin molecule--he already has and loved the caffeine one. I'll wear the t-shirt he likes least. Freight is 50% of the total but hey, I only do it for special occasions.
* the rock paper scissor lizard Spock game the characters invented. You really should check that program out: so many geeky fannish references: comics, films, Trek, Battlestar Galactica...
I know there are whole ranges of products Amazon won't ship overseas (toys, food etc) so I didn't even try. What's it like?
Greg also has the Lost one (which I can no longer find) but he doesn't wear it in public though he loved it too. The caffeine one gets to leave the house in weekends. I suppose it's subtle enough that he doesn't think people will notice him and try to read it. Have you considered the Stark Industries one? ;-)
Re TBBT: It took me about 3 episodes to get to know the characters; they've all really grown on me since. And there are more female ones in the future.
Well, this one has text and pictures people would definitely look at: Oceanic Airlines safety stuff on the front, and a "do not leave the plane series of warnings for things like the Smoke Monster on the back. OK, here's the t-shirt on a different site (ThinkGeek must have sold out) and showing front and back.
The ones I chose this time would be fine for public wear. I'd wear them (and probably will claim one). I have the "you are here" galaxy one which I've wanted since I saw a guy wearing one about 15 years ago. I followed him and asked him where he'd bought it and he said "New York" to my disappointment, but yay, Think Geek had them (and still does)!
I used to have a "You Are Here" shirt. I bought it at a Star Trek con when I was maybe 17 and had it for years and years before it finally succumbed to wear.

And, hey, I have the caffeine shirt, too!
I'm pretty sure I've already got BBT on my Netflix queue somewhere, it's just a question of getting to it.

And tsk on Greg. I proudly wear my collection of geeky t-shirts everywhere! Well, OK, there are a few really strange ones I don't take out much... :)

Heh. Tempting, but then comics fans might try to start conversations with me and be disappointed. :)

I was thinking it was a long time since I saw that shirt, maybe even 20 years, so that fits!
