"Fairy Godmusher"

During one of my usual mid-lecture segues in a recent art class final critique, I likened the creative process to that of mining for gold: First you must use a pickaxe to begin breaking down manageable chunks, then into successively smaller pieces, which in turn go into a (mental) sluice-box, which will slowly refine the material into that lump, or flake, of stuff. This stuff has the connotation that it’s of something precious + rare, comparatively small but of high value. I’ve mentioned here before how the name change came about; since I had an editor who restricted the number of outhouse jokes per year (more than one being one too many), random moose nuggets would begin to pop up (moose present in panel or not). And I retired "FreezeFrame" with the defense that "Nuggets" had such both universal (ex: "nugget of wisdom" or "... information" etc.) and local (as in the pioneer//frontier/sourdough associated "gold nugget") appeal. We just won't talk about the connotation with crap.
