A while back, we had a discussion in this group of the pins that the
regular denizens of rec.arts.sf.composition had made, so that we would
recognize a fellow rasfc person if we met face-to-face. That
newsgroup is for discussion of writing speculative fiction (science
fiction and fantasy). The agreed-upon symbol is a cat being vacuumed,
since "cat-vacuuming" is a slang term in that newsgroup for coming up
with increasingly-unlikely tasks that you "have to do" before doing
something else that you are procrastinating. Here is a view of what
the pin looks like: http://www.mjlayman.com/rasfcpin.jpg

I wear my pin as a hat decoration. It looks particularly nice in the
winter, when I wear a black fedora.

LOL! That cat does not look happy at all, though I know some cats actually *like* to be vacuumed (Vino comes to mind).
