So, around two years ago, I made badges of the various village symbols from Naruto, in order to take money from teenagers, which is one of my favorite pastimes.  Well, naturally, the popularity of Naruto waned, and so I discontinued the buttons, and put whatever I had left into my clearance bowl for 25 cents apiece.

These damn Rock Village badges have followed me around ever since.  I still had a handful left, and, realizing I had a white Pentel paint pen with me, I decided to draw on them to make them into… a pair of shoes, a dog, a cow, a Christmas tree, and a turtle.  (The unaltered button is the one on the right.)  Aaaaand some people actually bought a couple of them after I did this.

Then again, a kid bought the last unaltered button and she was disappointed that I’d drawn on the rest of them.
