Coffee cup meme

[monkeybard]

Nicked from jaunthie and sunkrux.

What mugs are in your mug cupboard (or on your mug shelf, or whatever)?
How many, and which ones, did you actually purchase?
Which one(s) do you use most often? Why?
Do you think that the mugs listed below are representative of me

Little Frieda "Wowie-Zowie!" (bought)
Shakespeare's autograph (bought in Stratford)
OSF season '97 mug (bought in Ashland)
GreenStage season '07 mug (got from GreenStage)
Shakespeare's Globe mug with "All the world's a stage..." quote (bought at the Globe in London)
Car Talk diner mug (gift with NPR pledge)
KAOS radio mug (client swag)
KPLU radio mug (client swag)
Lost World mug (gift)
Lorax oversized mug (gift)
NASA mug (bought at NASA)
Mazama goat mug (2 bought in Mazama)

And for travel mugs (these are specifically mine):
Blue with a dragonfly and a handle (too big for the car cupholder) (bought in Alaska)
Greenstage (got from GS)
Xena Warrior Princess - "Be careful, I'm in a bad mood!" (bought at a Xena con, I think)

And I happen to know for a fact that in storage in my basement I have:
a mug of very naughty penguins that was given to me by a friend's mom when I was in middle school because I so admired her naughty bunnies mug
three different "Bitch" mugs - all gifts from three different people, dating back to high school...  Some things never change. ;)

I ususally use the Mazama, GreenStage, or Little Freida mug.  The first is a diner-style but a little bigger than you get in a diner; the second is extra tall; and the third just makes me happy.  I usually only use the Stratford mug for tea.  It just seems right that way.  It is bone china, after all.

I'm surprised you don't use the Lorax one more often.

From memory (at work) - this should be fun:

Let me say first of all that I detest mugs. I cannot appreciate coffee out of a mug, no matter how hard I try. Coffee comes in a tall glass or cup, or plastic with a straw (I prefer mine iced, btw, in case you ever have to fetch me some).

So...

Two green large, squat mugs with white snowflakes all over. (Xmas gift!)
Two tall dark burgundy mugs left over from sales at a 2000 convention. Logo in gold and white on the side. Free.
One white mug with Edward Gorey drawing in "fade-away" ink. When filled with hot liquid, certain parts vanish to reveal clues, a body, etc. Purchased.
Two brown standard mugs with Kahlua™ written all around them in white.
Other awful and ugly ones have been purged, repeatedly. (Xmas gift, with Kahlua!)

I will use my caffeine icon for you today. :)

I'll keep that in mind. ;)

I covet your Edward Gorey mug. If I visit and it disappears...it wasn't me. ::tries and fails to look innocent::

It's not this or this or this one.

BUT OMG see my LJ for what I uncovered when googling!

I totally want to go thrifting for Gorey mugs now!

Now if this meme was about t-shirts...

If it were about t-shirts, I'd have to go into hiding from the men in the nice white coats.
