Got your towel, hoopy froods?
The long weekend is nearly here! Time for Memorial Day parties, eating BBQ, (not) waiting a half hour, swimming, and celebrating Geek Pride Day. Of course, we have geek pride every day, but it's nice to have a designated holiday! Whether you're a charred meat geek, Whovian, LEGOhead, or George R. R. Martin fan, this email has something for you.

All men must drink! Women, too. But not the children. Pour your guests a glass of red (and a few drops of tears of Lys?) and label each glass with one of these pewter charms. Each charm features the sigil of one of the houses: Stark, Targaryen, Lannister, Baratheon, Greyjoy, and Tyrell. These officially-licensed charms are made in the USA. http://www.thinkgeek.com/product/f3c8/

What normal household does not have a hand towel draped over the cabinet under the sink or over the oven handle? If you really think about it, every time you open that oven with a hand towel on it that towel is most likely touching your kitchen floor. Eww. Five second rule? Fortunately for you, these common hand towel problems can be a thing of the past. What is the future of hand towels you ask? Magnotag! The ingenious tea towels were designed with a magnet in them for easy and convenient storage on your refrigerator, oven or any other metal surface. http://www.thinkgeek.com/product/124e/

One thing most Adventure Time characters aren't is not cute. That double negative has led to proof positive that Adventure Time characters ARE, in fact, cute. Though we never thought they could ever be made cuter--lo, they have been! Small and adorbsicles, these Adventure Time Vinyl figures want to come home with you and live amongst your pillows and dreams. Or at least play around on your desk. Jake, Finn, LSP, Ice King, and Marceline are waiting to continue their adventures with you. Don't let them down; collect them all today. http://www.thinkgeek.com/product/f30a/

The Pocket Retro Game Emulator looks a bit like the GameBoy Micro but that's where the similarities end. Load on NES, SNES, GBA, Sega Genesis, or Neo Geo roms and play your old favorites in the palm of your hand. With 4GB of built-in storage and a micro SD slot for expansion, you can bring every single game from the best classic consoles with you. Of course, it doesn't stop there. You can also play movie files, audio files, and FM radio. You can view images or read ebooks. The a380 even does hi-fi voice recording. It'll earn a special place in your laptop bag, right next to your smartphone. http://www.thinkgeek.com/product/f280/

We like Clue. From Madeline Kahn's Ms. White to Doc Brown's Professor Plum, it was just about a perfect movie. And how much more awesome would it have been with a big dose of Dungeons and Dragons? Loads more! Just look at this game. Instead of the boring Conservatory or Kitchen, you now can accuse other players in the Lost Crypt or Library of Arcane Tomes. And instead of Colonel Mustard or Mr. Green, the players are folks like Regdar the Fighter and Lidda the Rogue. The weapons have been updated too (Mace of Disruption, anyone?) and so have all the playing pieces. This is the game of Clue revised for the DM in all of us. http://www.thinkgeek.com/product/12d9/

You've stocked up on new t-shirts for yourself, but what about your furry friend? How old is their collar? Sniff it. Does it smell a bit funky? It's time to trade it out for a fresh new collar that celebrates your favorite fandom. Our new collars feature artwork from My Little Pony, Powerpuff Girls, Adventure Time, The Regular Show, Archer, and The Big Bang Theory. All our dog collars feature a strong nylon strap and a welded stainless steel D ring for easy leash attachment. When it's time to run naked, the collar pops off with the firm press of a button. http://www.thinkgeek.com/homeoffice/pets/newest/desc/0/60

We've got LEGO sets stacked miles high! There's Hobbit LEGO, Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtle LEGO, Iron Man LEGO, Batman vs. Bane LEGO, and even some DUPLO for the toddlers. Summer is coming and you'll want something to entertain yourself (and maybe some wee geeks) on rainy days, so why not pick up a few sets and build scenes from your favorite comic books or movies? http://www.thinkgeek.com/interests/lego/newest/desc/0/150

Anyone can create and program a robot with Cubelets, the learning toy, logic challenge, or desktop distraction for ages 4 to 124. (125 is right out.) Each of the six cubes in this set performs a unique function: a sensor, a "thinker," or an action. By snapping the cubes together, you can create surprisingly complex robots that will light up or move in different ways according to their environment! Instructions are included to help get you started, but your imagination will take over from there. http://www.thinkgeek.com/product/1204/

From the battlefield to your face, it's unlikely the A2 Flash Hider design will have any true suppression ability once you load up a few of these. Be ready for party warfare with the nylon-carrying pouch on your hip. Whether you're out at the bars looking to impress, at a party where all they have is boring glass, or having R&R at home, the beautifully detailed, anodized, aluminum grey finish of the Muzzle Shot is the standard for next-level drinkware. Great for the gun enthusiast: militaristic, target, or collector, military enthusiast, or even a gaming nerd. http://www.thinkgeek.com/product/1205/

Instructables is an awesome website where folks from all over show you how to do all sort of things. Well, guess what? Some of these things have been collected into books. These two Instructables books we think will be the most useful to you. The first, Office Weapons, teaches you how to make all sorts of things out of office products: grappling hook guns, crossbows, and more! But, when you go outside, you need something a bit bigger. That's when you look at your copy of Backyard Rockets. From a vacuum-powered rocket launcher to a fire-spewing Iron Man, this book is a blast. Get it? http://www.thinkgeek.com/new-instructables/index.shtml

If Ghost Adventures (aka Bros vs. Ghosts) is a guilty pleasure of yours, and if you ain't afraid of no ghosts are not afraid of any ghosts, Mr. Ghost is for you. Download the free app, plug Mr. Ghost into your headphone jack, and you're ready to start picking up electromagnetic activity on your iPhone, iPod Touch, or iPad. Just don't go near the server closet with it--the ghost is definitely in the machine... or it's an electromagnetic field generated by all those electrons moving through wires. Whatever floats your boat. http://www.thinkgeek.com/product/1262/
