The ever sought after Employee Brain. Was not sold to the general public.
Very rare - very lovely - very missing from my collection.

the deal is upwards of $200 and although the S7 article says its employees only I'm thinking maybe thats why the secretters came with numbered tags?

I think Jackie scored the last one of these I saw for sale state-side.
They are a blue moon kind of a deal.

It was more like "I'm bidding on this, and if you outbid me, I'll hunt you down and kill you"...

Yup, 'cause that's around when I started "participating" on the board. I think Jackie was the first person I met, can't ask for a better start than that.

thanks moto, ur a big sweetie
thanks mark... i can't remember how old my pets are let alone what happened when.
thanks baikin, it's my favorite SB piece ever really.
i hope nobody thinks i tried to muscle them out of it. it was a tough call and the only time i asked for a favor from board members. i felt more like i was begging for mercy than anything... hope theres no hard feelings about it.
like i said, muton and i talked and he said go ahead... don't know what else to say.
disgusta - it didn't come in a can, and i'd have to dig through my headers to see what came with it
u have any idea skylar?

Jackie also contributed to sucking me in, though I bought my first SB last year, before we started PMing about SB.

mine didn't come with a header. it came in a bag that had a piece of paper with a skullbrain design on it as a backdrop.
