There really needs to be more Tux accessories available. One of my friends made an Ubuntu flag for the Ubuntu Live Conference in Oregon and said he'd make me one for my birthday, but since he only got as far as "i thought of what to get/make you" in his first IM i said "tux belt buckle?" and so now he's thinking about that one ^_^ If anyone knows how to cast metal... there's a few people saying things like "tux earrings" and "BSD demon ring" When I get home from vacation I’m adding a #! to the part of the belt that hangs out when I wear it. :P

Over the years (before I became the way I am today), I would toss these away...to think how many projects I could have packed into those!

Now if someone would tell me where to get a Tux belt buckle, it'd be complete. http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v472/macoafi/bashbelt.jpg I made a belt of bash commands :) Kiltak’s seen it and teases me about it because it looks too “I made this” and not enough “I bought this.” Now if someone would tell me where to get a Tux belt buckle, it’d be complete.
