If you’re broke from Black Friday shopping like yours truly, that must mean at one point you had at least $10. Now, I don’t know what you purchased on Black Friday, but chances are that whatever it was, it wasn’t as awesome as this threadless t-shirt.
IT’S ONLY TEN DOLLARS. And because I care about you, I thought I’d let you know that LivingSocial is holding a spend-15-bucks-get-30-dollars-to-spend dealio specifically for Threadless. Again: for $15, you get to spend $30. Chyeah.
So my friends, do yourself a favor and purchase this epicism. ‘Tis a fitting time since the recent release of Skyward Sword, no?

Today’s Thanksgiving. Or Black Friday Eve, as I know it. And Black Friday is serious business.
Wanna get in and out alive and with the prize? Then think of your competition as zombies. These rules from one of my favorite films, Zombieland, will keep you shopping:
1. Cardio
Have you been training? Ir not, you better start. Walk some laps after eating your turkey. And pace yourself tomorrow!
2. The Double Tap
Now, I’m not asking you to kill anyone, but instead refer to this as a “double check”. Double check your coupons and lists… make sure you get everything you’ve come for!
3. Beware of Bathrooms
Are you a woman? Then stay clear of the bathrooms in malls and large stores. They’re going to be PACKED, and that will take away from your prime shopping time. Go to the bathroom before you leave home, and try to stay clear of liquids.
4. Seatbelts
If you’ve tried to go to a mall anytime between Thanksgiving and Christmas before, you know the parking lights are CRAZY. And the drivers? Even crazier. Seatbelt up. Your life depends on it.
7. Travel Light
Traveling light doesn’t mean you can’t have a big bag with you: keep it fairly empty so you can store shopping bags and flyers in it. And keep it big enough to “accidentally” knock it into the person grabbing that last game console you want. (But I didn’t tell you that.)
17. Don’t Be a Hero
Know when to be a hero and when not to. Will that last action figure in Toys R Us make Christmas for a little boy or girl? Go for it. Are the streets icy and you’re sleep deprived? Stay at home. Your friends and family want you happy and healthy way more than they want any material item!
18. Limber Up
Take a look at #1. Didn’t train? Then make sure you do your stretches before heading out. You’ll be pushing carts, holding bags, and picking out items that are both high and low on shelves. Make sure you’re ready!
22. When in Doubt, Know Your Way Out
If you decide to go somewhere crazy (like Walmart), make sure you know your exits. Seriously. People are crazy there. Don’t get shot.
31. Check the Back Seat
The Holidays are a gold mine for looters. Make sure everything’s locked, and check your backseat: make sure you can’t see any packages or bags from the outside.
32. Enjoy the Little Things
You know, like free snow globes.
Enjoy Black Friday and stay safe!
Finally! I can show off my love of classic gaming with an athletic-inspired piece of clothing!
In all seriousness, I think this is pretty sweet. And I would totally wear it, except I feel it would be a bit awkward on the ladies. Right? I mean, you’d just be asking for people to press your buttons…
Nintendo Track Jacket: $39.99-43.99 at ThinkGeek.com.
OHiYa Friends are cute and kinda weird. (Just like your fave Zaxy girls!) They inhabit t-shirts so you take them with you, wherever you may go. And lucky for you: OHiYa Friends wants to give some shirts away to Zaxy readers! All you have to do is “like” their Facebook page, and then leave a comment here telling us you did so. On Wednesday, November 16, we’ll randomly pick two lucky folks, and they will get to pick the shirt of their choice to have shipped to them. You can go extra-classy with a unicorn farting rainbows, like I have on above, or you can tell everyone how great you are with my fave shirt, “It’s Great Being Awesome”.
So check out their shirts, like their page, and continue to be awesome!
(Oh, and while you’re on Facebook, feel free to stop by the Zaxy page and say “Hi”!)
EDIT: We have our winners! Congrats to Joe (comment #2) and Vernon (comment #8) who were randomly selected using random.org. Max from OHiYaFriends will be contacting you soon!
I’ve had some geeky friends (both male and female) ask me lately how they can find someone to date. They’re cute, smart, funny, and have super interesting careers and passions, but don’t know where to find like-minded people. So I come to you, Zaxy. Tell us your secrets. How do you find eligible dates? Online dating sites? Networking events? Clubs? School? Bars? Or do you just go about your business, knowing one day you’ll run into your soul mate? If you’re single, share your tricks, if you’re taken, tell us where you found your love. The future of geek love depends on it!
(And hey, if you’re in the Seattle area and interested in meeting some eligible bachelors/bachelorettes… I could probably hook you up.)
Someone with more skill than I have needs to make this for me. Pretty please?

I’m guessing you won’t be seeing a lot of sun on this cruise. (Get it? Cause they’re vampires? Right?)
Anyway, if you’re the type of person that enjoys dressing up as vampires and hanging out with other vampires on a cruise, then you’re going to be pretty darn excited. This cruise goes from Vancouver B.C. to Alaska and includes activities such as a ball, fan fiction writing contest, scavanger hunt, talent show, and meet and greets with a variety of actors and writers in the vampire genre. You can find out more information and get your tickets at vampsatsea.com
Would you go on a vampire cruise? And how likely is it that someone is an actual vampire and you will leave with a bit of your blood sucked?

Check out more great photos at teenagemutantninjanoses.tumbler.com.
You picked ‘em. It’s your fault. Seriously.
I present to you pics of the Rosie costume and Angry Birds costume from BuyCostumes.com. The costumes are surprisingly fun and comfortable, but seriously. In what twisted world do two un-sexy animated characters become your pick for sexiest Halloween costumes?
Ok, this isn't so bad...
WHY IS MY HEAD NOT ON MY BODY?
Much better.
Just reaping the reward of fighting pigs all day long.
Not-so-angry bird.
Possibly one of my favorite photos ever taken of me.
And now I present to you the outfits combined (to form what is possibly the sexiest Halloween costume of all):
You did this to me. And now you don't know how to feel about it.
You saw me in costumes, now I want to hear about yours! Leave a comment with what you’re going to be for Halloween, and on Monday, October 16th a couple random folks will be picked to win $50 coupon codes for BuyCostumes.com!
