"BOB" stolen from my door :-(

"BOB" has graced my office door in the form of a vintage (i.e.,
found in an empty office desk drawer in 1984) 1-inch black-and-white "BOB"-
on-flaming-pyramid-logo button...until sometime in the last 24 hours: the
button is gone, presumably pinched by a student (whether latent SubGenius or
outraged Normal can't be said). Sigh.
So I went to the on-line catalog to see about ordering a new one...
and to my chagrin, there are no buttons available! At least nothing other
than a color "DON'T BLAME ME, I VOTED FOR 'BOB'" button. More sigh.
I *think* my ordainment pack had one in it, I'll have to check.

make one. in fact, make ten of them, use one and send the rest to people
chosen at random from the phone book.
about ten years ago i bought a decent-sized coffee mug (ie big enough to
fit a small cat inside). i printed out a little Dobbshead - 'bout 1.5 x
2.5 inches - on cheap sticker stock and stuck it to the side of the mug,
to cover the cutesy snail design the mug was born with.
that mug has been dish-washed, exposed to gamma radiation, used to
shovel concrete mix and stained with corrosive slopped-over coffee, but
the sticker is still there. the Dobbshead is still clear.
if NASA carved "Bob"'s face into each tile on the space shuttle, the
damn thing would be INDESTRUCTIBLE.

Yeah, but then congress would drag their feet approving the construction
of the next-gen shuttle fleet.
The way it's being done, NASA wins, the "right" congresscritters win,
government contractors win -- and if they blow up more teachers, kids
all over the nation will be thrilled and delighted.

Just make sure and stick it on the OUTSIDE of the mug. If you put it on
the inside, the Dobbshead makes the beverage taste like old pipe-stem
residue.

According to Stang, "Bob" has already taken a ride on the Shuttle.

How very odd! The Don't Blame Me button is ONLY in the CafePress
SubCatalog -- but there are several OTHER button designs along with it!
Mayhaps you've seen only the ONE BUTTON EXAMPLE that LEADS TO all the
other buttons.
http://www.cafepress.com/subgen/365511
Under GIFTS/JEWELRY AND SACRAMENTALITY
Then there's the Bulldada Time Control Catalog (the REAL SubGenius
Catalog, the one with the GOOD stuff), on the aptly-labeled PINS AND
STICKERS page
http://subgenius.com/scatalog/whizbangs.htm
which shows only a simple cheap small Dobbshead button on white.
But we do have the black button with triangle logo you're talking
about.
If you order the simple cheap Dobbshead button but also email me and
ask me to replace it with a black logo button I will do so.

Yes, the button you're talking about has been included with the Memb
Pack for many years now.
