The Retcon Punchers spend an awful lot of time looking for ways to celebrate our nerdy obsessions. This means a lot of time sunk into scouring Etsy, Deviant Art, Think Geek or whatever. Sometimes we see things so great we just have to share them… and then clutch them fiercely to our collective chest. Throw it in The Vault.

Who Would Love This: Geeky, well-dressed men, geeky women who love geeky, well-dressed men
Price: $18.00
We’ve kind of fallen off the wagon for The Vault, so I decided to find a special geeky object to bring us back on track. So, what’s so special about a Flash tie clip? Duh, look at it; clearly it’s what you need when your tie is traveling at tremendous speeds. There are a number of clips to choose from, as well as belt buckles, hair bows, and other assorted jewelry. This Etsy store is extra special to me, because the gal who makes this stuff lives in Chicago, and I do love supporting local nerds. On top of that, I already own a piece of jewelry from here; alert reader Taylor got me this awesome Wonder Woman necklace for my birthday. Now, instead of just thinking about comics all the time without anyone else the wiser, I can advertise to the world that even my jewelry is nerdy.

That’s classy, but I’m wondering what kind of situation you could actually wear that thing in. The red makes it sort of conspicuous. YOU DON’T WANT PEOPLE TO SEE IT AND OUT YOU AS A NERD!
I think the coolest looking one was the Deathly Hallows, because it’s more conspicuous.
Also, though, who cares?
I’m just saying – there are two different types of impressive I could try to be. One involves wearing a tie, the other involves wearing Flash stuff. Until I get an interview at DC Comics, I don’t know when the twain shall meet.
Maybe you just like lighting. #ZeusTieClip
