Back in the early 80's, when I was in college, I attending the occasional convention. A group of us went down to Delaware and found Nancy and her button booth. In addition to her catalogue, we had custom buttons made up.

Fast forward to a year or so ago and I came across the 20+ year old printed copy of her catalogue I had brought home. I was curious and did an Internet search to see if she was still in business but did not find anything.

So I was surprised when I tried recently and found this. It's an expanded button/bumper sticker catalogue, with thousands of pithy and humorous choices.

Guns, 1st and 2nd amendments, insanity. The funny thing is that a local bookstore near my house still has a cache of her buttons that are about 15 years old. Every once in a while I buy one out of the bins.

BTW, every time you refresh the page, it changes the random slogan.

A few I found funny.

I might be getting the Paypal ready.

If only I had known. I think I met Nancy at ForksBob's ... I've corresponded with her on a Philadelphia-based elist for years. I have a couple of her buttons from cons as well.

Wow, it's too bad I wasn't at that one.

Here's a few that seem a little obtuse for buttons

Does it have enhanced IR vision, a particle beam weapon with target acquisition, highly amplified arm/leg systems, self-contained atmosphere, and a small nuclear plant? No? Not much of a "power suit", is it?

For one of my D&D groups it would have been really cool to have one made that said "Is it made of human skin?"

The PCs were ALWAYS asking that, and it became a running gag.

Sounds like a good site to stay away from until people that have the capacity to deal with bad consequences have checked it out.
