    I debated putting Brent’s mug on this but I didn’t want to break both FAA and FDA regulations.

  2. PencilvaniaPencilvania says:

    I’m a little surprised the mug itself didn’t break.

  3. PencilvaniaPencilvania says:

    Woke up, smelled the coffee, saw the mug, ran screaming from the room.

    • 10 Cents10 Cents says:

      Shouting it from the Hills Brothers, Pencil? You’re just zealous of my handsome mug.

    The best part of waking up … is a big bowl of serial puns for breakfast.

  5. BrentB67BrentB67 says:

    My eyes are sore from looking at the mug on that mug and my sides hurt from reading the comments.

    Well Played.

    Whatta mug! I have not seen a mug like that since , well… a long time.

  7. PencilvaniaPencilvania says:

    This mug is obviously Chock Full o Nuts.

      Pencil, I am going to call you “Old Chicory” since you never use your bean.

      • EThompson says:

        As a direct descendant (granddaughter * 11) of President Jackson, I wouldn’t use this nickname to describe my worst enemy. As a member of a strictly establishment Republican family, he is truly sa bête noire. My pauvre cousin Andrew Jackson D*** who actually lives in Nashville as an attorney and votes politically to the right of me (!) has to suffer the ancestral ramifications of his namesake everyday.

        Now tell Pencil you’re sorry.

  8. 10 Cents10 Cents says:

    Seriously, it would be fun to have a graphic we could use to make mug cups for this place. Zazzle.com will put them on a mug and ship it to us. I see they have a Japanese web site so BDB is covered.
    I could use my mug as a home for wayward pencils.

    Does anyone have experience doing this? Is there a better surface? (Don’t tell EJHill we are doing this.)

    Centime, you have outdone yourself in self-promotion.

    I no longer believe you live in Japan; I believe you live in Singapore and make those crazy Kung-Fu movies. Only John Woo would make this kind of move.

    • 10 Cents10 Cents says:

      Dev, see Carl Douglas in marketing.

    • EThompson says:

      Centime (le nom est parfait!) is far too ebullient to survive Singapore. I got into trouble there for throwing a gum wrapper on the street…

      Dime really lives in Rio de Janeiro and hangs out on the beach everyday drinking caipirinhas.

      • 10 Cents10 Cents says:

        Meia culpa, Liz.

        • EThompson says:

          You have outdone nearly everyone who would try to stun by the fun of this pun.

          You made my hair come undone!

          • 10 Cents10 Cents says:

            Liz, did you know “meia” was “sock” in Portuguese?

            • EThompson says:

              I did indeed and thought this was truly one of your finest puns.

                10 CENTS: ‘FINEST’ PUNS :: EASTER ISLAND : (____)

                A. Easter bonnets
                B. bunnies
                C. chocolate eggs
                D. big stone heads

                hint — D. is obviously wrong

                • 10 Cents10 Cents says:

                  Vald, Easter I’ll do what? I donut understand what this has to do with a coffee mug.

  10. PencilvaniaPencilvania says:

    I have done Vistaprint mugs – same as zazzle I would think. They are good quality & still look great after many dishwasher washings, no fading. They list them as around $10 but with shipping it always ends up around $15, at least to the US. In Japan you’re much closer to China so you might get a break. Making the Chinese economy great again!

    If you want to do it, I can design & upload. But putting your face on it will probably derail international relations.

    • 10 Cents10 Cents says:

      Pencil, let’s start small and then build up from there. Anyway the mugs with my face should only be made for those willing to pay for the limited collector’s edition.

  11. PencilvaniaPencilvania says:

    Well, technically Dime called me Old Chicory, so he’s not really lumping me in with Andrew Jackson. Dime steals more coffee puns than than a Pirate of the Carob Bean.

    • 10 Cents10 Cents says:

      Pencil, I don’t like the way you Postum. It just goes against the grain and puts me in hot water.

  12. PencilvaniaPencilvania says:

    This is going on oolong.

  13. 10 Cents10 Cents says:

    Pencil, do you have any pictures of the mugs you have done?

    What color schemes do you recommend?

  14. PencilvaniaPencilvania says:

    Ha! Dark roast so dark it sucks you in!
