Geek Item of the Week: Game of Thrones Coasters
I know next to nothing about Game of Thrones, but it’s apparently all the rage around the Project Fandom office… well, there isn’t really an office, per se, but there is a heavy Game of Thrones fanbase there and there’s also a drinking game. And what goes good with a drinking game? Drinks, of course!
ThinkGeek has a set of four cork coasters to set these drinks on. I’ve never played a drinking game, but I’m led to believe that the point is that you’re taking a drink pretty consistently and the cups don’t spend much time sitting on the table anyway. But the coasters look pretty cool. I almost want to buy them myself and I couldn’t care less about Game of Thrones. I care so little, in fact, that I’m afraid my peers will start calling me ‘Shame of Thrones’
Anyway, each 4×4 coaster features the sigil of one of the four main houses: the dragon of Targaryen, the direwolf of Stark, the stag of Baratheon, and the lion of Lannister. You can purchase them at ThinkGeek for $9.99, not including shipping. And if you order $75 worth of items (which, believe me, is easy to do) you can currently get free shipping. So head over there and tell ’em Large Marge sent ya.
@Meghan, I’m pretty sure these are the coasters I need to send you. :-p
