NOTE FROM KIM:

The TV series “Queer Eye for the Straight Guy” is such
a hit that there will likely be spin-offs and imitators.
There might even be one where geeks
give tech tips to a cool guy.

“Geek Eye for the Cool Guy”

9> “Never use white tape to fix your glasses after Labor Day.”

8> “Star Trek action figures should be grouped first according to the version of Star Trek they’re from and then by episode.”
