The Doctor’s Scarf
This exceedingly long woolen scarf appears fairly ordinary, save for its unusual length and wildly diverse selection of colored stripes. However, this seemingly-mundane item is actually an ancient, powerful item of great utility. The Doctor’s Scarf functions as a +5 Keen Spell Storing Dancing Bladed Scarf, a pocketed scarf, and a reinforced scarf. Additionally, it can produce a Rope Trick effect at will with an indefinite duration, functions as a Rope of Climbing, functions as a Handy Haversack, and when wielded or worn (around the neck) grants the bearer the effects of an Endure Elements spell.
All effects for which a caster level is required function at CL 20. The scarf weighs 3 pounds - 5 when wet.

No thanks. Sounds like it would chafe.

Key phrase is "Functions As". Remember, whips do slashing damage.
I'd totally keep jelly babies in one of those pockets (but not the nasty black ones!)BLASPHEMER!
I disagree. The only good that came out of black jelly beans except different flavor jelly beans.
I, however, am partial to the Jelly Belly. So many possibilities!
Plus, you can put different flavors in different pockets.

But where black jelly beans are usually licorice (which are their own kind of awful), I think black jelly babies—a UK thing that's not as similar to jelly beans as most folks from the US think—are supposed to be blackcurrant. (Except that they taste like blackcurrant only in the same way that kids' cough syrup tastes like oranges, which is to say... not so much.)
You guys don't have jelly babies?
Not domestically, no. Those of us who are "in the know" can find them at sufficiently awesome candy stores and stores specializing in import candies, which is also the only way we can get Smarties, Flake bars, and most other UK Cadbury products.
And they're very difforent. Black jelly beans are licorice flavored. And they're absolutely great.
Also, Jelly Bellies are terrible as jelly beans, because the flavors are so diverse you have to eat them one at a time, and they're so small it's unsatisfying. With real jelly beans, any assortment will go fine together.
List of foods everyone must try at least once:
Jelly Babies
Jelly bellies
Salmiak Swedish Fish (can get decent Salmiak candy at Ikea)
Moxie
Absinthe
Vegemite
Lutefisk (I'm kidding on this one, no one ought to eat this, ever). Shudder, freaking Christmas. Lutefisk, ugh.
Neat idea with the scarf, btw, but I don't think I'd make it quite so...aggressive.

And remember, the important thing with Vegemite is to make sure it's spread thick enough.
(Although I'm relatively sure it's a banned item in the US).

It's an urban legend, but a good one! I'm sure most people in the US wouldn't mind if Vegemite actually was banned (though a good deal of it is made here and then shipped away with all speed, oddly enough). ;)
Sorry, I seem to have derailed this thread (something I'm prone to doing, I'm afraid).
Anyone ever shove their players into a tardis?

I'd have said Mordenkainen's Magnificent Mansion, myself...
Have you seen how much space is in there?
They fit a whole disused hospital in there, once, to chase the Sontarans around!
And bits of that power station, that turned up in Blake's Seven...

But... but... but... I go out of my way to find the Jalapeno flavoured Jelly Belly's. I was on a trip to Melbourne earlier this year and when I found some I had to buy a huge bag. I was pretty expensive but well worth the price of admission.
Oh and btw. I can't believe you guys don't have Jelly Babies!!! The best way to eat them is to get 3 different flavours (I personally go for Red, Yellow and my favourite orange) and then what you do is:
1. Bite the head and body off 1 colour so you are left with the legs.
2. Bite the head and legs off another so you are left with the body.
3. Bite the body and legs off the last so you are left with the head.
4. Put the new head on te body and then attach the legs and you get a Fankenstein's Monster of a Jelly Baby.
(Of Course you could always use the other body parts instwad of eating tem and create a little army of Frankenstein's Monster Jelly Babies with which to send forth and do your bidding).

A couple of my favourite ways to eat Vegemite:
1. Smothered thickly on a piece of bread/toast (with butter/margerine).2. Straight off a spoon/knife from the jar in big dollops.
3. Mixed in a bowl with butter/margerine and then off a spoon/knife in big dollops.
4. Put Vegemite on 1 slice of bread (of course with the obligatory butter/margerine). Put Strawberry Jam onto another slice of bread (ditto). Make sure you spread them both nice and thick. Then you put them together and make a sandwich with the 2 slices of goodness covered bread.
5. Vegemite and Cheese sandwich.
Yay Vegemite
P.S. My 18 month old Daughter now LOVES her Ve-mite and eats it at least every second day (whether on toast or sandwich) with or without cheese. I have even given her a few licks off a spoon and she loves it as well. I think I will save the Vegemite/Strawberry Jam combo though until she is just a bit older =)
Okay, being born and raised in the states, and only having a vague knowledge of what vegemite is, after reading that last post I was curious to have my ignorance removed. So, after a few minutes at Wikipedia . . . I want to try me some vegemite! I might hate it, but at least at that point I'll know.
I mean come on, it can't be that bad . . . the last cooking tip I got from an australian was extremely good (that being the use of egg as a pizza topping).

It is definitely an aquired taste.
Having said that, you should give it a go. Some people love it and some people hate it, there's not too many fence sitters (and despite common mythology not every Australian loves it).
I agree!
Even most of the Australians I know prefer their Vegemite in a thin layer scraped over buttered toast, but I eat it spread thick over toast without butter! Delicious!
Exclamation mark!
OK, putting aside my general dislike of Vegemite... How can you eat jam spread over butter?
I never did try Vegemite while I was down under. Never enough time to try everything.
However, I got some odd stares when I suggested that the cook make a ham and cheese with jelly like an eggless Monte Cristo.

Holy Genius! I'd eat the fork if they'd deep fat fry it.

It's just one of those things... I like butter (or ultra lite 70% fat free margerine 'cause my wife won't let me have butter, something about how she wants me to live to see my daughter's 18th...sigh) under my condiments/toppings/fillers, whether it be on a sandwich, toast, cracker, crumpet, croissant, whatever...

Oddly enough, they suggest deep frying it in the Wiki entry.

vegemite's pretty good IMHO, but maybe you do need to be raised on it to appreciate it. But I can't think of anything much that's better on toast than vegemite!
I'm American. I had vegemite once. I hated it.
I'm curious though... what on earth is it made with?
Black Pudding faeces.
After a night on the Guinness.
(Yummy!)

I would like to add Jaffa Cakes and Yorkie bars to the list.
