My friend Len does a Geek-a-Week project which is pretty bad-ass, and I was flattered to be asked to do one so here it is if you have a few minutes.
Also, it comes with my very own geek card made by Len and Storm.
PS. That’s a sonic-screwdriver-blow-dryer. Not a sex toy.

This may need to be added to my Geek Wall of Fame along with my Malcolm Reynolds action figure and myStan Lee autograph. Shockingly enough, I actually don’t work in IT, nor do I live in my parents’ basement. Huh…

“That’s a sonic-screwdriver-blow-dryer. Not a sex toy.”
Can’t it be both?
Yeah, because “sonic-screwdriver” doesn’t sound at all like a sex toy. (I’m choosing to ignore your “hair-dryer” ruse.)

Totally blows away my Reggie Jackson rookie card

Awesome card, but would be awesomer (totally a word) if it mentioned your zombie apocalypse preparedness.

Well, now you’ve done it. You’ve crossed that fine line into the geek universe. There’s no going back. You’ll have to start doing comic book & sci-fi conventions. In costume. Start hunting down your silver boots and red bustier now.

That is awesome! I am jealous of the geek card. I surround myself with geek folk. Not consciously it just seems to happen. Not that I don’t have my own geek tendencies. I didn’t think that looked like a sex toy until you mentioned it. Now I think it’s kind of more bad ass thinking of it in the dirty way…

Holy schnike that’s brilliant. And, I’m sure that crazy ass blow dryer can be used for many things, like blending drinks for example.
Cubicle Views recently posted..Click and Ask For Forgiveness Later
Fab-u-lous! Of course that isn’t a sex toy, my sonic-screwdriver-blow-dryer lights up just like that…although mine uses batteries, guess yours has more power.
Very cool card, show it to TSA when you travel, I’ll bet it works just like photo id.

El Guapo recently posted..Trifecta – Observe
Awesome!
For the record, I totally got that it was a sonic blow dryer. I didn’t even think of a sex toy. I really have to work on that I guess. My mind isn’t as in the gutter as it used to be. Does that mean I’m getting old?
NewMommyConfessions (@NewMommyConfess) recently posted..Month of the Military Child
OMG, just when I think you can’t be any more awesome. Although just when I think I have “varied” interests, the universe conspires to show me how everything is geekdom for me. Not that I’m complaining.
I NEED a copy of that “geek” card!!!!! Completely awesome!!!!
OH I WISH I COULD COME SEE YOU! I live right next to book passage but that’s my daughter’s opening night of her show…. drats! And out here I think boob signing is legal too!

Okay, but I thought your battle cry was WOLVERINES!!
Though, Let’s Pretend This Never Happend will be so much more useful in real life.
cassie recently posted..queen mary highland games

Love the card and that you are 10, who I considered tied for best Doctor with 4.
Hate that your book tour does not include Chicago (we are better than all those cities combined…as long as it is between May and September-excluding August).
Am surprised there were no Bloggess costumes at C2E2. There was sad Batman, though. As in, they don’t have my favorite flavor of ice cream…sad Batman. We may have to do something about Bloggess costumes at cons.

That does totally look like a sex toy now that you mention it. I was thinking some kind of ray gun or something, I have no clue why I thought that somehow that fit. Very cool trading card!
Rebecca recently posted..Zoo Botanico Jerez
That thing in your hand looks suspiciously like one of the intravaginal ultrasound machines that our fine representatives in Pennsylvania want to use on women seeking abortions. Hmm. Well, I know you’d employ yours only to perform good deeds.
I love this in soooooo many ways!

Well fuckity fukc fukc fukc!!! Just learned that my husband tacked on a book to our Amazon Order that won’t release until April 24th. So I had been anticipating receiving your book ASAP and now won’t get it until the end of the month at best (assuming his book actually releases when it is advertized to). I am beyond PISSED. Now I may have to go to Blue Willow and buy an extra copy for you to sign just because … I.NEED.YOUR.BOOK.NOW!!!!!
Grrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr!
I once whipped this card out at a Magic the Gathering Game… Not only did I win, but everyone owes me their first born son… Or a beer. Dealer’s choice.

I just saw this on Pinterest and immediately thought of you. Maybe you’ve seen it already, but if you haven’t, you’re welcome. Now you have a matching animal suit for Victor to wear so he won’t be jealous of your wolf-pelt.
Wow! That is the awesomest sex-toy-looking hairdryer ever. I’d totally buy one and leave it sitting proudly on my bathroom counter so as to spark interesting conversations with guests and visiting mothers.
Sister- you can WORK A Pinstriped zoot Suit. Think of the blow outs you could administer if you dressed like that everyday!

I keep aspiring to be a geek, and my friends keep assuring me that I really am one. I think if I had a geek card I would finally feel secure that I have my place in the geek world. Is it a cheat if you make it yourself.
I always thought a hairdryer was a sex toy. No?

Your geeky street cred has risen exponentially with the inclusion of a geek card. Congratulations.
Is this like Pokemon cards? Can we battle you against anything? And what would you win against in a geek-out battle?
AND…Are you worth or less more geek collectors’ points than a Neil Gaiman or a George Takei?

I’m bringing my wife home from the hospital after her knee replacement today. If she doesn’t have a doctor’s appointment on the 26′th I’ll bring her up to Allen to meet you. Of course at our age to sing her boob you start at the belt area. I have to check with the bookstore to see if you can meet Bingo T. Pug who is not taxidermied.
Peter recently posted..Panic!
AWESOME! Interesting they went with the 10th Doctor outfit, but the sonic hair-dryer looks more like the 11th Doctor’s. Yes, I know. I’m a nerd.
what an HONOR to be selected for a geek-a-week card? the only distraction — they gave you 10′s costume and 11′s screwdriver? it hurts to be an obsessive nerd… ANYway — can’t wait to meet you at blue willow! it’s really hard to put off buying your book until the 24th!
The thought of the sonic screwdriver as a sex toy is making me coddle mah cooch. Because ouch.
Also, HOW FUCKING COOL IS THIS? (Not my cooch coddling, silly, the geek card).

Absolutely fantastic! NOW you’re famous. I would, however, like to know why the East Coast is getting no love on the book tour . . . .I really seriously could have used a stop by the Bloggess in the Washington D.C. area.
That looks a lot like this: http://www.littledeathray.com/infernal-devices/butt-rogers-uranium-pistol-coming-soon/
Which is okay, because I totally want one and am therefore jealous you got one before I did.

Listened to the podcast. I have to tell you that even though my mom has never read a word you’ve written, when she watched you on CNN she also expected your voice to be a whole lot different, based only upon my descriptions of your blog postings. All I can figure out is that I must have said “Knock, knock motherfucker” in a deep-throated, Kathleen Turner voice.
Zippy recently posted..Now the media tells me I’m sick of bacon. And am possibly a man.
I think you should add Atlanta to your tour. If you do I will attempt to find you another mushroom shaped like a boobie. Or maybe I’ll just print off the picture you posted and try to convince you I took it. Either way: come to Atlanta!!!! <3
Just wanted to leave a comment saying I read your book, I freaking loved it and it’s 5am here in NZ! And I’ve only just been able to yawn because I’ve been too busy giggling to be able to get a yawn out
And now I will go back to lurking (sleeping, temporarily) – hope the tour goes well ^^
First time commenter here… I think they have your motto and battle cry mixed up, it should be:
Motto: Let’s pretend this never happened
Battle cry: Like Mother Teresa! Only better!
That is all.
Whoah. I might have to rent Little House on the Prairie now. Also, I don’t see the orangutan on your card. Am I confused? Did he draw it somewhere else?
