It happens every year - I get brilliant (brilliant, I say!) ideas for my NaNo story while taking a shower. I chant the gist of my idea, manta-like, until I can get out of the shower and dry off enough to write it down. Of course, the zen perfection of the bathtub environment - complete with water feature! - is gone, and usually, so is most of the idea.
ThinkGeek to the rescue!
