I was watching B5 with londo with commentary by JMS. At one point he was talking about the military patches, specifically the starfury patch. So I went online, found an e-bay auction, and got one for less than $10 :).





When JMS mentioned that it says "ugly but well hung", I knew I had to get me one for my motorcycle jacket :). Those that get it will know that I'm a big dork just like them, those that don't will likely be amused (and probably confused by the starfury image). I'm pondering getting a Psi-Corp patch as well, which isn't strictly military but is scary as hell if you know what it stands for.

My current plan for the jacket is to get more patches (if anyone has suggestions I'd love to hear them) and then come Arisia have some form of dragon imagery airbrushed on the back. Can't wait for April. . .

I don't see why the ones who didn't get it would wig, since it's a symbol of your field and thus even appropriate. Those who did would likely be amused, I'd think. Than again I'm not in your work environment and thus am not aware of the boundaries and suchness.

Which brings me to a secondary reason for getting it for myself: I'm finally getting my degree (in psych). So having it would be kind of a symbol of completion as well as scary mental powers :).

It's more that I work at a really laid-back place. Seeing me with a pin with a psi on it might come off (to those who don't know the source) as though I'm trying too hard to prove my competency in the field. Yes, this is the scourge of working in the counseling field, dealing with everyone around you making assessments of you on some level. ;)

Perhaps if I wore it on a jacket.
