Ok, I realise the title of this article might seem a bit obscure for those who don’t watch CBS’s great show “The Big Bang Theory”. But, COME ON. Have you been living in a cave for the past couple of years ? And the “I don’t have a TV” line does NOT work on me, because I didn’t have a TV until very recently, and still managed to catch up on this. I mean, they show you whole episodes on their website. FOR FREE. So, in a nutshell, if you don’t know TBBT, it’s a sitcom featuring a 4 nerdy-but-sweet guys (Leonard, Sheldon, Howard and Raj) and their pretty-and-a-bit-dumb neighbourg Penny. The show is packed with geek-references, pop culture gems, and almost every sentence makes you go “Hey, I get it, they’re refering to that thing I saw on youtube/twitter/facebook/my mate’s place/somewhere, that’s funny !”. Makes you feel less of a nerdy loser I guess.

Go watch it. For those who do…

…aren’t you completly crazy about Sheldon ? I mean ok, in real life I would probably end up poking his eyes out after ten minutes of conversation, but this is just such a great character, you can’t help but fall in love. So, here is a little gift list for any sheldon lover out there.

1. Well, quite easy choice, the DVDs. Season 1, and 2 are out, and packed with various bonus stuff.

2. As seen on Season 1, Episode 11 (“The Pancake Batter Anormaly”), a tri-dimensional Star Trek chess set. I’m not sure how you’re supposed to play this, but if you have 329$ to spare, it could be yours ! Although, I guess just sticking a couple of regular chess set on a ladder could work too.

3. You can’t spell geeky without Mario and Luigi ! Alright, that one was a bit far-streched. Especially considering this item doesn’t feature Mario or Luigi. But, still, an original Nintendo 1UP mushroom on your desk, that’s Sheldon-Cooper-Cool, eh ?

4. In the 4th episode of season 1, “The luminous fish effect“, Sheldon finds himself unemployed (join the club !) and this sends him into a downward spiral of weird ideas, such as creating a luminous fish. I couldn’t find one in real life, but this jellyfish night light is pretty close, don’t you think ? And for all you jellies lovers, do not fear, those aren’t real jelly fish, just life-like plastic thingies.

5. Sheldon has actually worn this shirt in various episodes (Season 1, Episode 7 (The Dumpling Paradox) and Season 2, Episodes 7 (The Panty Pinata Polarization) and 16 (The Cushion Saturation)). And now it could be yours ! Only 24$, and remember, computer + retro + KABLAAAM = fashion must have.

6. On season 2, episode 8, “The Lizard-Spock Expansion“, Sheldon comes up with a variation to the old game Rock Paper Scissors. It adds “lizard” and “Spock”, thus making the game more difficult (and geeky). The exact rules are on this button badge, so you have no excuse if you lose !

7. As every TBBT fan knows, the right seat of the couch is Sheldon’s spot. No one is allowed there. N-o-o-n-e.

8. When the guys form a team to compete in a physics bowl (Season 1 Episode 13, the Bat Jar Conjecture), they end up kicking Sheldon out because of… well because it’s Sheldon. In an attempt to soften the blow, Leonard bys him a Batman Cookie Jar. An item both cool and yummy ! Available from Warner Bros store.

9. Ok, I have to admit, I’ve never watched more than 10 minutes of any Star Trek movie, tv or anything actually. And honestly, trekkie stuff usually creeps me out (Remember the 330$ 3D chess set ? I think I made my point clear). But this dress is kinda classy, don’t you think ? Plus, a sure way to score points with Sheldon… !

There’s ton of stuff I could have added to this list, but I’m gonna let you take a look at this funny tumblr dedicated only to Mr. Cooper : http://sheldoncooper.tumblr.com

Sheldon Cooper, For The Win !
