I did get a Coach bag one time out of an event gift bag, but the colors were bleh, and I sold it.
Played with Kaylee. Sun came out, and I walked on my feet and heard with my ears. I ate the bits, the bits stayed down, and I work. I function like I'm a girl. I hate it because I know it'll go away. The sun goes dark and chaos has come again. Bits. Fluids. What am I?!

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

Way cooler than any of the swag I ever got.
It's kind of lost in my apartment. I lose stuff like that. It's actually a very nicely displayed. A square of it is embedded in lucite with a frame (also embedded in the lucite) made from one of the telescope's images.

And then Ortus came and said "It's Ortin' time" and they all Orted off into the sunset
Most of the good swag I've gotten has been DVDs. And t-shirts.

Shit's all sorts of different now.
I remember that. You got like a billion for it.

Getty gave me an iPod nano and a Magic 8 Ball after I placed a gigantic photo order last year. Other than that, it's usually been mugs.

We're very stretchy. - Connie Neil
which the providing company refused to honor because I wasn't famous
WTF? That really bites, and makes me wonder if the technical Oscar winners get treated the same way.
In non-swag news, a funny article by Terry Jones, "God: I've lost faith in Blair."
Sources close to the archangel Gabriel report him as describing the Almighty as "hopping mad ... with sanctimonious yet unscrupulous politicians claiming He would condone their bestial activities when He has no way of going public Himself, owing to the MMW agreement" (a reference to the long-established Moving in Mysterious Ways concordat).

Yeah, that was hot.
I'd still rather get an iPod.

no good swag at this job yet, but maybe once we are more successful. We have good clients.

Yeah, it kinda blew. I really wanted to try some outrageous eye color, like purple or something. They wouldn't even honor the coupons for the Local's business reps and management, even though we asked them to provide X number of coupons, matching out the number of presenter's bag we assembled.
But they were not public coupons, and they reserved the right to refuse to honor them, which they did. I wonder if any of the actors who were presenters that night even bothered to use them. I suspect not, so they got a great bargain out of the deal. Free advertizing to people who would probably rarely use their services, and no expenditures or handout on their part.
Wankers.
