SheldonShirts

[womzilla]

As nellorat has mentioned, we are chugging our way through catching up on The Big Bang Theory, which is unremittingly hilarious and which, unlike some works about geeks I could name, actually appears to be written and run by people who have actually met geeks and understand them. (It gets a few details wrong--for instance, Warner Brothers cartoons are very much at the heart of geek culture--but it get so much so right.)

I was particularly glad to discover SheldonShirts, which is a wonderful example of the type of thing geeks do when they love something: documentation of the marvelous array of t-shirts worn by the show's main characters, Sheldon and Leonard, along with some additional documentation (Wollowitz's belt buckles, the shirt-folding board Sheldon used in "The Bad Fish Paradigm"). Enthusiasm at its finest!

I really, really tried to like "Big Bang Theory". But even though I share many, many characteristics of many of the characters, it failed to entertain me. I think I've known too many people like Sheldon to find his quirks amusing; instead, I just find it frustrating.
