It occurred to me, while reading the end of Part One of Silverlock, where Silverlock, when urged by Golias, reluctantly agrees to help Lucius Jones, but only because he is aware that the hero Beowulf was listening in on the conversation, and he [Silverlock] didn't want to be seen as less willing to risk danger to help someone, that it would be lovely to have a bracelet that reads:

WWBD
What Would Beowulf Do?

I've sometimes been tempted to ink WWJD across the knuckles of my right hand and RTFM on the left to serve as a response. [ Though it's not quite so appealing as BONS MOTS. ] One of these years I will get around to that and get a decent photo thereof for userpic duty.

There are people I suspect of living their lives on What Would Miles Vorkosigan Do ? Which is too high a gear for me by far.

What is RTFM?

Read The, er, Freaking Manual.

I usually explain it as Read This Fine Manual. Being respectable and all.

Ah. I have, therefore, managed to demonstrate perfectly how thin my veneer of respectability is.

A fine manual, indeed.
