Candy Corn Click Clack Skull

As I mentioned in <a href="http://dailyacquisition.blogspot.com/2012/10/click-clack-skull.html" target="_blank">this post</a>, Click Clack key caps are highly regarded within the mechanical keyboard geekdom. I was randomly lurking on the GeekHack forum one day, and learned that <a href="http://elitekeyboards.com/" target="_blank">EliteKeyboards</a> was preparing to sell a batch of Click Clacks. EliteKeyboards used a registration/lottery system in an attempt to satisfy the rabid horde of Click Clack collectors that usually makes Click Clack key caps sell out in a few seconds after an online release.<br /><br />EliteKeyboards offered several different types of Click Clacks in the sale: a solid black colored skull; a candy corn colored key cap; a candy corn colored skull; and a key cap that looks like a frothy mug of beer. I entered the random drawings for all four of these items, and I was really hoping to get a chance to buy the beer key cap and/or the black skull.<br /><br />Unfortunately, I wasn't on the lucky "you get to buy this" list for either the beer or the black skull. However, as a ridiculously fabulous consolation prize, I was given the opportunity to purchase one of the candy corn skulls! For a microsecond I thought about declining the offer, but then I came to my senses and pulled the trigger because these Click Clack skulls are worth their weight in gold (to some people).<br /><br />Feast your eyes on the latest Click Clack acquisition of mine:<br /><br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiMw0x2QSbHC-xe4P05RNSTRTqgdiMRGK3oK0KeLSuEZ8IpeT7LHiXLmVFfUm961icf2gbW4uIAUDYU16oyhJ95s3Gi1V3dUBx4TS5voxiE7WplMRMp2bsRnW09qKVnHBMxU2orPvb9nDc/s1600/IMG_5748.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="320" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiMw0x2QSbHC-xe4P05RNSTRTqgdiMRGK3oK0KeLSuEZ8IpeT7LHiXLmVFfUm961icf2gbW4uIAUDYU16oyhJ95s3Gi1V3dUBx4TS5voxiE7WplMRMp2bsRnW09qKVnHBMxU2orPvb9nDc/s320/IMG_5748.JPG" width="241" /></a></div><br />Wow, it actually DOES look like a piece of candy corn. I really hate the taste and texture of candy corn, but I'm enjoying this Click Clack version.
