The Spaced Invaders Couch Marries The Ability To Dork Out Hard And Also Get Laid

The Venn Diagram of "dorky" and "cool" is generally illustrated as two completely separate circles lying about 29 miles from each other. However, every so often, those bastards overlap and being a dork pays off in spades. Granted, you have to be a pretty rich dork, but whatevs.

For instance, telling a girl you like Space Invaders will get you precisely nowhere. Even if you have $100 bills falling out of your zipper, this is still a pretty awful approach. However, should you just incidentally show a girl your Spaced Invaders couch (which I guess means you have already gotten her into your well-appointed house), you're probably going to be A-ok. 

Sure, this probably isn't so much a testament to the dork or nerd sensibility as it is to the fact that rich people can do whatever the balls they want, but it's nice to know that the two overlap every so often, and it's not just hair gel, Deadmaus, and used Porsche Boxsters. Okay, a used Boxster won't exactly hurt regardless, but I'm trying ot get you to branch out here, people. 

This thing isn't available off the rack, but go to this site and these nice people will build you one for $5k, which is probably only twice as much as some Pottery Barn bullshit and approximately 7,500X more interesting.
