Spice up your guard clauses for your rake tasks stopping people from dropping prod:

task :drop_database do
  if Rails.env.production?
    ASCIIToons::Gandalf.say 'You shall not pass!'
    raise
  end
  # ...
end

Or if you want to get real sassy (for the love of god, don't commit this):

require 'ascii_toons'

module KernelPatch
  AGENT = ASCIIToons::CatInTheHat
  def raise(*args)
    case args.size
    when 0
      e = $! || RuntimeError
      AGENT.say e
      super(e, '', caller)
    when 1
      if args[0].is_a?(Class) && args[0] < Exception
        e = args[0]
        msg = e.to_s
      else
        e = RuntimeError
        msg = args[0]
      end
      AGENT.say "#{e.name}: #{msg}"
      super(e, msg, caller)
    when 2
      e, msg = *args
      AGENT.say "#{e}: #{msg}"
      super(e, msg, caller)
    when 3
      e, msg, _ = *args
      AGENT.say "#{e}: #{msg}"
      super(*args)
    end
  end
end
