I think I have earned a badge, and I want my badge! But no stinking
badgers, please. They can be aggressive.
A little off topic, but hey, the whole topic is off topic!
- We don't need no education.
We don't need no thought control.
No dark sarcasm in the classroom.
Teacher leave the kids alone.
Without a badge I am just another brick in the wall.

Badgers! Spoons! Poking! Much better than merit badges.

Boy, Mary, you're putting me in the mood for confession ...
Mmmm, nothing like a good
plenary indulgence after
plenty of indulgence.

Oh great, the resident pop-culture literati are taking over the thread.
By the way, I wonder if there's a physical law that would describe the number of posts it takes for an ITD thread to go completely bonkers and off-topic!

Probably the same one for how many licks it takes to get to the center of a Tootsie Roll pop.
Say it with me now..."a-one, a-two, a-three!" *CRUNCH!* "Three."

Exactly, just substitute mention of Hitler for going bonkers.

That we stop short of fully demonstrating Godwin's law here when we get fired up is probably to our credit.
Yay us!

I think you should get the credit for this one; you made me do it!

Mary, for a second I was really hoping that Eddie Izzard had joined TeaChat. That would have been fun. ("Tea and cake or death!")
Still, if I can't have Eddie, there are always badgers. Here's a little orphaned cutie (unpoked) from the Secret World wildlife sanctuary in Somerset:

I always thought that badgers were so mean, even bears don't mess with them.
Here's my badger:

Can't tell if you're referencing that blog post or not (I'm guessing you are), but I use that as a shaving bowl. Though I did mention in my blog that it would work as a chawan too.
