Truth! Justice! Freedom! Reasonably priced love! And a hard-boiled egg.

All the little angels rise up, rise up.
All the little angels rise up high!
How do they rise up, rise up, rise up?
How do they rise up, rise up high?
They rise heads up, heads up, heads up, they rise heads up, heads up high!

Terry Pratchett, Night Watch 

The 25th of May: Día del Orgullo Friki (Geek Pride Day), Towel Day, and, the anniversary of the Glorious Revolution of the 25th of May - may all the little angels rise up.

Tempting, but...

I can't decide what the strangest part of this situation is - the fact that this hobbit-sized spaceman-with-a-globe was originally a $300 item, that I could buy it now for a mere $99.99, that someone even decided to manufacture such a thing, or that someone in the London Drugs purchasing department would decide to add this to their inventory.  Regardless, I'm going to pass on the last chance opportunity, tempting though it is, and if I decide that I've made a horrible mistake, it shouldn't be that hard to find another one, right?
