Keep Your Pants Up and Repel Others at the Same Time
I’ve often wanted some kind of incredibly nerdy belt buckle, mostly to attract people’s eyes to my crotch, and then make them look away in shame, confusion and fear (I could get the same result by being nude, but that would violate my parole). Alas, the only place that sold such buckles was Hot Topic, which even the little dignity I have prevents me from going in. So I say thanks be to HutchMe, and her online shop of four fantastically retro metallic belt buckles, available for less than $20 each right here. These things are hand-made and are solid brass, so they should last you and your crotch a good long while. (Via GeekAlerts)
