I don't usually post commercial sites here, but Nancy's Buttons are just too good to pass up. We saw -- and bought a few -- of these wonderful calligraphic buttons at the UU General Assembly in June. And the site has far more! I have too many favorites to list, but here are a couple (some are definitely in-jokes):

  • Aim high--if you miss your target, at least you won't shoot your foot off
  • Everyone is a damn fool for at least five minutes a day; wisdom consists of not exceeding the limit
  • What goes "Pieces of seven! Pieces of seven!"? A parroty error
  • Life is a banquet to be enjoyed with relish, except for dessert which should be enjoyed with chocolate
  • When tempted to fight fire with fire, remember that fire departments generally use water
  • Unitarian Bible Study Today! Bring your own bible and scissors
  • Pixel-packin' Mama
  • The information explosion has reached the point where it's cheaper and easier to re-invent the wheel
  • You can fly, but that cocoon has to go
  • There are 10 kinds of people, those who are comfortable with binary, and those who aren't
  • Nobody died and made you root@everywhere
  • I go from 0 to bitch in 1.5 seconds. Take your foot off the accelerator
  • When it was all over, Pandora clicked on the window. All the folders were empty, except for the one labelled "Hope".
  • You don't need to bring your adversaries to their knees, just to their senses
And my very-most-favorite: You know you've been root too long when it's easier to change a password than to remember it

NancyButtons.com for more!
