Let’s say i gave you 70 bucks to spend on anything. A geek such as myself could spend it on a variety of things such as….DVDs, the new XBOX 360 Ghostbusters game, or you could spend it on something cooler….such as a blinged out swarovski studded toaster.…

sparkle, sparkle...

Lucky for you it’s on sale and reduced from 300 smackaroos. However before you make your choice, there’s also this frakkin’ toaster.

I”ve always wanted to say, “I eat cylons for breakfast!” and now I really can!

Eat this and starbuck will be all over you...maybe....not really.

But then again, blinged out toast is what real ballers like 50 cent eat for breakfast. G-G-G-G-GEEK UNIT!

Our next episode is going to be all about those robots in disguise, the Transformers. We’ll be discussing the toys, the history, and the deadly battle between lovers and haters of the Michael Bay flicks.

One shall stand, and one shall fall!
