Every time I think I have finally outgrown my childhood thrill with Star Trek, some geek comes up with yet another OMGIHAVETOHAVETHIS bit of licensed merch. I simply will not be placated unless or until I own this TOS wall intercom door buzzer (being sold at, but presently out of stock at, ThinkGeek, of course).
And now the shameful admission: the house where we live has several of those old-fashioned push-button wall switches that turn on and off ceiling lights, and every time I press one of those buttons, I like to pretend that I am Captain Kirk talking to the Bridge. Of course, the plush golden Captain Kirk bathrobe my sister-in-law bought me for Christmas really makes that whole fantasy work. Maybe now you can appreciate just HOW FREAKIN’ MUCH I want that door buzzer.


I want one or five too. In fact, I want one of almost everything at ThinkGeek. When I win the lottery, I’m going to do just that and then I’ll buy you a TOS intercom box too. Do you think it will transmit all the way to space?
