Need a new coffee cup

[jhelgesen]

Lost a good friend yesterday as my trusted office coffee cup of 20 years was taken by gravity.....

Came to me as swag from a 80's alternative radio station I greatly enjoyed.

So after a day of mourning, I need to find a replacement. I don't want the typical office stupid joke cup or something "cute". I need obscure but meaningful to me. High tech doesn't do it and I need durability. Not a fan of plastic.

I saw this on ebay, but never liked Haynes manuals....



Anyone have suggestions or good sources to check out?

Thanks,

Merciful it is that the foetid horrors of reality are too vast for the mortal mind to comprehend. Somehow the past becomes uniform - the most basic distinctions, such as those between dream and reality blend together. It is only the nightmare, jarring the sleeper to wakening perspiration, that leaves any real mark on the psychology. Those things that inhabit the dream - can we say that they are in some sense real? If not, is there any alternative remaining to the scientist but to say that they merely reflect some process within the mind? How can this be, when philosophers have so far been unable to refute the most basic of assertions: That reality itself is a dream. To argue both is to say that there is no reality at all; and that, we so dearly hope, cannot be true.

After my grandfather's death in an unfortunate accident, I was called upon to settle his estate. His assets were, by that point, in quite a disarray, having been prayed upon by the many opportunistic vultures of the financial world. It was probably no help that his last decade was marked by a progressive madness that gradually came to overshadow even his perpetual drunkenness.

The task was long and arduous, not at all helped by the summer heat or my dislike of casual attire. For the most part the estate settled without trouble. However, inside of a locked bureau was found a collection of strange objects. These objects included a tome written in some strange tongue, a cloth pouch containing some type of preserved organs (possibly from some small animal), an assortment of tallow candles, a sharp but tarnished dagger, and the coffee mug, pictured below:

Yes, it's geeky, includes a mild joke, but is quite useful in my sysadmin world.

I have 2 coffee cups that I use. Both are Porsche related and both came as free gifts from Pelican!

is there any interest in having your car, or any related picture/art/text on a coffee cup?

Is $20 too much for a customized mug?
