I have two goofy mugs that I adore. The first one is a cartoony one that has a picture of a naked guy holding a towel, and the caption says "Nude with towel". I never found it funny until this year, even though we've had it since I was a kid.
The second is my dad's mug. I think I gave it to him when I was about 2 or 3, and it's this really weird looking face with a moustache that's actually molded into the side of the mug, and it says Dad on it. It's his favourite mug here at work (yes, I work at the same place as my father...), and he always gets made fun of for it by all the nerdy engineers.
I just finished off a pot full of Adagio's Coconut Pouchong. A nice smooth cup to settle my stomach after a rushed meal.
I believe drinking tea makes me a better artist. But hey, I also believe I'm completely sane.

My favorite "tea cup" is a GINORMOUS
mug that I got at Alcatraz when we were on vacation in San Francisco about five years ago. It holds about 18 ounces. I LOVE it.

There's not an option for "all my teaware is boring". Mine is terribly dull. I wouldn't mind some freaky mugs though. Maybe I should ask for some as presents...

Well, I had to vote "commerical theme" as it was probably the only catagory that my mug would fit in. It is a nice size blue Viagra cup that was given to me my a friend who is a drug rep.

I didn't know there could be such a thing as "too buttery"... I love buttery.
***This organic blend is earthy & spicy, with a fragrant aroma & smooth flavor to captivate the senses. Naturally sweetened in the Kentucky sunshine & infused with natural energy. Equally delicious when served piping hot or crisply chilled.***

This is a very low blow from a man who drinks from a Mason jar.
Actually, I rather admire the Mason jar aesthetic. It reeks of the Spartan simplicity of
WABI SABI more so than all that wildly expensive Japanese stuff. I think the correct translation of "
Wabi Sabi" is probably "
country."

In tea? On popcorn and pancakes, but not tea. Tea I like crisper.
I somehow lost track of time and didn't make it to the next the next,
the 2nd place - I'll try that tomorrow.
Yay, a reason to look forward to going to work. Ha!
