I totally need this stamp: http://www.flickr.com/photos/8326992@N08/2363227391/

Although, in retrospect it would probably actually be a really bad idea to get one of these for me.  I would certainly end up with permanent ink stars marring both of my monitors, and I suspect my colleagues’ spouses would eventually object to the damage I would surely do to their clothing.  Still — the idea is brilliant.  Brilliant!

My eighth grade english touch, Mr. Driscoll, had a “Garbage” stamp that he saved for really bad essays — I only got it once, but it was quite memorable.  I should get one of these for Cathy — more than a few of her students deserve to see this stamp on their papers.
