Rep Geek, Stay Classy: Doctor Who edition

Because Comic-Con is only four days a year.

Listen up, ladies: There comes a time when neither the painstakingly sewn bodysuit & custom polystyrene body armor nor the con-specific slogan hastily ironed on to a shirt will cut it. While there aren’t many opportunities to bust out the Tardis corset in public outside of Dragon*con, there’s nothing stopping you from displaying your nerdish leanings those 360-odd days the rest of the year with a little bit of style. Below is a selection of apparel and accessories to help you stand out to other Whovian fanatics without looking like you’ve wandered out of a photo shoot.

Walt Disney World Revamping Test Track to Look Like Tron

Rejected post title: Holy shit-snacks, you guys, my dreams are coming true.

If you’ve ever been to EPCOT at the Walt Disney World resort in Orlando, FL like I have (a lot, because of Florida living for 22 years), you’re aware of a lengthy wait leading up to a pretty disappointing ride called Test Track, designed to educate the user about car stuff. Yesterday, the Disney Parks Blog released five new images representing the new direction the ride is taking and HOLY CRAP IT’S TRON. IT IS A TRON RIDE. OMG OMG OMG OMG

I mean, look at that blue and orange color scheme!! The neon cactus implying a digital desert wasteland? Shit, can you imagine walking into the lobby of that ride and seeing holo-Jeff Bridges in some zenned out white robe welcoming you to the Grid? I can.

So let’s be real for a second: They’re probably not really turning Test Track into Tron because of reasons, but that doesn’t mean we can’t speculate that they’re keeping mum about the fact that it will actually be a Tron ride, they just can’t say it yet. A more realistic fantasy (lolxymoron, you guys!) is even if it’s not a Tron ride, per se, there’s nothing preventing them from asking Daft Punk to do the score. You hear me, Disney? NOTHING. PREVENTING. YOU.
