Sadly, this actually happened… much to my eternal chagrin.  It was a lovely tungsten job with laser-etched celtic knots.

It’s not all bad news, though.  I picture a happy little sewer Gollum huddled in a dark corner of the Ann Arbor waste system cackling gleefully over his new-found prize…

My Precious… my sweet beauty… we loves our Precious… we… >sniff< We takes it to the car wash *then* we luvs our Precious.

That’s my dream, anyway.

So you will all be relieved to know that Laurie has replaced the ring with another celtic-themed tungsten ring.  I want you all to know.  I’m declaring it here and now that I will take good care of this ring and that absolutely NOTHING untoward will happen to it…

….I mean… who loses SIX rings, right?!?
