Father’s Day Geek Gadget Style
June 19, 2009 | In: Tid Bits and News
It’s Father’s Day this weekend and Wired put together a hilarious list to see if you’re indeed married to a GeekDad. Check out the list below and see where you stand in the geek gadget dad department.
1. You spend your honeymoon at a theme park. (Sadly, Legoland wasn’t built then…)
2. You never know when you’ll walk into the dining room to find the table covered with a computer broken down into all its component parts.
3. He installs stilts under the legs of your bed so his comic book boxes can fit underneath.
4. He keeps his spare change in a Miss Piggy bank (with a coin slot where her cleavage would be).
5. The ornaments on your Christmas tree consist of Romulan Warbirds, shuttlecraft, and Borg cubes.
6. He asks you to dress up as Catwoman for Halloween. (Sorry, no photo of that one!)
7. He’ll patiently spend an hour building a tower for your four-year-old Superman to break down – and then comfort him when it collapses prematurely.
8. He spent more for his bicycles (and each of the kids’ bicycles) than for some of the cars you’ve owned.
9. Your kids’ college fund consists of a trunkful of first issues of his favorite comic books.
10. He’ll sit down with the kids and read through the trunkful of first issues, college fund be damned. (Well, maybe not Watchmen #1.)
So, how do you stand on the GeekDad list?
