just to show I did it

It was really weirding me out when I started seeing this MIT thing pop up on everyone's LJs! And then it just made me feel nostalgic and fuzzy.

Now, see, this would be a great time to use my "See this ring?" icon except that you have to know the story to not be offended and think I'm a massive egotist.

ETA: Ah, hell with it. I wanna use the icon. The story is in the comments here.

But I heard the story, and I thought it was hysterical!!!!

Pshaw. If they're on your Friends list, they probably know you well enough to know you're not a massive egotist.

And as for offending people, what's the point of even having a gi-normous ring with a rodent on it if you're not going to offend people?

I swear to the maker that is one of my all-time favorite stories. :)

1) Awesome, awesome story.

2) I need to see this ring.

Well, the best picture I have of my brass rat is at the bottom of this page: http://www.angelfire.com/darkside/jainamsolo/engagement.html

This is a better picture, although it's not my year (I graduated in 2003, and the ring is redesigned every year): http://stuff.mit.edu/people/dawn/brassrat.html
