I’m not angling to get a non-US Doper – I just said I’d be willing to take one. If I have to take some boring US Doper, so be it. 😉

Same with me, matters none at all to me who I get, but if it were an international doper, I certainly wouldn’t mind.

Woe betide the person who gets a mug from me. I bore even myself.

Oh, I’m in. I have a giant glassfront cupboard at home full of mugs from my travels. I find them a cheap and cheerful souvenir (and practical!).

No shortage of mugs round this way, being a major North American tourist destination. Just have to decide whether to go cheesy, or cool?

Count me in. E-mail being sent as we speak.

Foreign mugs would be excellent, but any souvenir type mugs from anywhere but PA would be most appreciated as well.

Dribble mugs incur my wrath.

I’m in. I’ll try to find something interesting from around here. Of course, I could send the one I got in Canada a couple of years ago and just confuse everything.

I’m in too, if it’s not too late! I sent you email, but I got it bounced back…maybe your in box is overflowing with Dopers or something. If you don’t see one from me, shoot me one at annarose816 at hotmail.

Thanks for organizing this!

About 40 Dopers have signed up for the coffee mug exchange so far.  
**Please please please…  
When you email me, include your SDMB userid and the name and address to which your mug should be mailed.** If you forget any of this, I have to send you an email and then put the information from your reply together with the information from your original email. This makes a lot of extra work for me.

As far as I can tell, there is no problem with my email. I have plenty of room in my mailbox, and I successfully emailed myself using the “send email to laina\_f” function. If anyone experiences further problems, please post here so I can investigate.

Just to clarify - a tea mug is the same as a coffee mug - it’s just got a different liquid in it.
