Heh, wealth of ideas until the well runs dry. (Wonder if Tlaloc's Fork could be used as a dowsing rod to locate idea wells.)
Black Ick rug is a neat idea. 4 x 8? A wall to wall front living room Black Ick rug would be awesome but it might scare some guest that come over for a visit. (But it would make one heck of a conversation piece; NE goth fans would love it.)
If the Black Ick plushy doesn't work out, maybe Mictlan plushies would. A plushy of that dinosaur skeleton would be great, or the little doll folks. A keychain, bumper-sticker, or coffee mug with "I Survived Mictlan" would be fun. (I could use a cup like that now and then.)
Waiting for out takes. (Say, next NE might be long enough to have a commercial. Eek, what am I thinking?!?)
