That reminds me of GOB and his Forget-Me-Nots on Arrested Development. 

            "They're pills that create a sort of temporary forgettingness.
            So if somebody finds out how you do a trick, you just give
            'em one of these, and they forget the whole thing. It's a
            mainstay of the magician's toolkit, like how clowns always have
            a rag soaked in ether. "


And NOW I'm imagining GOB hitting on Ivy.  Ew.

Calendar Event Discussion / Re: Jim at Dragon*Con 2010

OK, not so much into the costumes or RPG, but I live only an hour away and would REALLY like to see Jim Butcher if he is speaking and/or get my copy of Changes signed (and now I guess I am glad that Amazon and the Kindle People screwed me and I have the hardback).  So, to reiterate the request in the above post, what exactly is Jim scheduled to do at D*C? 

And I have never been to D*C, as I generally keep my SF&F on the DL, but 75K people!  Holy Moly!

I am sure we all thought of the Maeve being Mac's lemonade with lemonade ice cubes, but to "Winter" it up even more, what about this?  

HOW TO MAKE ICE STRAWS

step 1Materials
IKEA, the horror show that it is, sells an ice tray that makes cube sticks that fit into water bottles. You'll need: 1 Ice cube tray (as mentioned above) Enough straws to fit in each compartment a Small bit of clay


step 2Preparation
Cut each straw so that they fit into the ice compartments. Be sure to leave it long enough so that they can be supported above the bottom of the tray by friction (that is, make them a tiny bit longer than the tray). Next, pit a tiny bit of clay into each end of the straw. This will keep water out of the straw for easy removal later. Push one straw into each compartmen…


step 3Freeze and Finish
Place your tray in the freezer for a few hours or until completely frozen.Once your tray is frozen, carefully remove each ice straw.Removing plastic strawI found the easiest way to remove the straw was to allow the straws to thaw for about 10 minutes. Then push a skewer through the clay and straw. The friction from the clay pushed out the straw far enough that I could get it out.  Voila!  Ice Straw

What about one that has Butters in his polka music suit on all fours drawing a circle and a caption that says, "Ensuring that Polka will Never Die."

Also one with that quote from Harry and Kincaid in Blood Rites about the Bolshevik Muppet that ends in "Thus, Kablowie!"  Actually, just "Thus, Kablowie!" would work.
