Most geeks worth their lightsabers have one supremely dorky shirt kicking around their closet. Maybe it's got some clever visual gag, like the words "classically trained" alongside an NES controller. Or it could just have a snarky geek quip, like "No, I will not fix your computer." My go-to geek shirt is custom-made; it says "Raised By Bill Nye" and has a picture of the Science Guy giving a thumbs-up. Amazing.
These shirts tell all the world, "I am a geek who appreciates the finer things in life." And that's great. But sometimes you don't wanna shout it out loud. Sometimes you just want to maintain that air of mystery. That's why I've scoured the Internet, Saruman-style, for some 'stealth geek' apparel--clothing and accessories that suggest rather than announce your geekery. They'll take a minute for your more mainstream buddies to figure out, but once they do, roffles are imminent. Behold, your new wardrobe:
