Would you like a Button? October 12, 2018 6:23 AM Subscribe
Would you like a 1.25" button (pin) featuring the "There is No Cabal" design? This is not a rhetorical question.
Hi there!
I had some round 1.25" buttons made with the Seal of the Cabal by robocop is bleeding.
Would you like one?
Here are some pictures. They are kind of bad pictures, but the actual physical objects are quite nice and professionally made.
Currently, I have 50 (well, 49) buttons, and I'd like to mail one to you!
Please tell me if you'd like one below. I'll get back to you (eventually) through a private message to get your mailing address, and to ask for $2 to cover shipping and production costs. Any extra profit will be donated back to the site.
This was done with admin knowledge and approval.

Oh, hell yes!
I already have 27 pieces of flair on my work ID lanyard now, with space for just one or two more -- and this would be perfect!

Now, wenestvedt, you know it's up to you whether or not you want to just do the bare minimum. Or... well, like cortex, for example, has thirty seven pieces of flair, okay. And a terrific smile.

yes! but shipping would be international -- happy to kick in extra to address that, though if it's not possible/too difficult, i quite understand, and happily cede my button to those cabal members who live in places with reasonable postage rates.
