If government will not defend our civilization -- lives, letters, and graves -- then society must, despite having constituted a government for exactly that task.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
I debated putting Brent’s mug on this but I didn’t want to break both FAA and FDA regulations.
I’m a little surprised the mug itself didn’t break.
I kilned it with kindness, Pencil.
Woke up, smelled the coffee, saw the mug, ran screaming from the room.
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.
Vald, the best part is making toast of friends.
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.
This mug is obviously Chock Full o Nuts.
Pencil, I am going to call you “Old Chicory” since you never use your bean.

Now tell Pencil you’re sorry.

Mike, why is it when you pick sides you are always on the side the women?
At the risk of embarrassing our good friend here, he’s on the side that appreciates him.
He’s smart, highly educated, intuitive and the “shyness” thing plays well. :))
You got all that from an asterisk?

MLH, you are just fishing for a compliment, aren’t you?
hook, line and sinker!
Ha! You’ve got me all figured out, Lizzy!
Liz, she started it. It is an open and shut case where Pencil is concerned.

Dev, see Carl Douglas in marketing.

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.
Meia culpa, Liz.
You have outdone nearly everyone who would try to stun by the fun of this pun.
You made my hair come undone!
Liz, did you know “meia” was “sock” in Portuguese?
I did indeed and thought this was truly one of your finest puns.

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

Pencil, I don’t like the way you Postum. It just goes against the grain and puts me in hot water.
This is going on oolong.
Pencil, do you have any pictures of the mugs you have done?
What color schemes do you recommend?
Vanta black on black.
Ha! Dark roast so dark it sucks you in!

I leave for a week and the whole place goes to hell.
What would we do without you?
We missed you, RA, so we went to find you. We figured you were visiting relatives.
I am missing a sock. Anyone seen a sock?
Brent, close your eyes and I will give you a sock. We will all give you a sock.
“goes”?
You think the place would have been LESS silly with you here?
(That was to Right Angles. I don’t have this posting procedure down yet.)
We look less silly when she is here.
That’s only because you are trying to impress her.
Yes, but which navy will take her? ⛓⚓
The Ray-Ban Navy, of course. ⚓️
I dunno. She sounds like she’s squared away.
Knot!!!
Square knot, for sure.
Where’s the Minky and his fist when you need ’em?
