ThinkGeek Grows, Spawns A Blog

We won't bore you with any of the fascinating story about how ThinkGeek came to existence and launched way way back on a very foggy Friday the 13th in 1999.  Your frontal lobes would explode from a rapture so intense that your frontal lobes would explode.  Instead, we are just going to say 'Welcome to Blurgh, The ThinkGeek Blog'.  Grok it.  Why do we have a blog? Blurgh. Just Grok it.

Below is a quick picture of the ThinkGeek Warehouse in 1999 which was just a single windowless room in a local ISP (WizardNet) we used to own.  Dig those 'You are dumb' T-Shirts in binary.  Next to that is the ThinkGeek Warehouse in 2007 which is in a slightly bigger room.  Dig those pallets of Bawls, yum!  We couldn't have made this transition towards Approximating World Domination without you. So, let us start this venture with a big shout out to you, our loyal fans. You rock the Blurgh fantastic.

meaningless icon! oooh i especially like the giant fan you have in the new warehouse! Nothing says world domination like no air conditioning! Monkeys don't need a/c. It only costs more... and you couldn't give away cool things like green laser pointers if you had a/c.. yup!
