Back! Back! I have a rubber rat, and I'm not afraid to use it!

rafaela and I were discussing one of her buttons, the one that says, "Heavily armed, easily bored, and off my medication." She comented that it is, indeed, a joke, because she's on her meds at this time.

rafaela: I am heavily armed, though: I'm carrying a sold maple cane and an Ebola virus. Oh, and a magic wand.
Me: Wow. You're pretty much prepared for any possible crisis.
rafaela: Not really. I don't have a slide rule, litmus paper or an English-to-Swahili dictionary.

Geek-love. It runs strong.

(And now I'm remembering odhierre's Bag of Holding during our college days, also designed for any and all contingencies; among other things, it contained rubber cement, billiard chalk, and enough flatware to seat a family of eight.)
