I have a mug at work that I have discovered is now a rarity - the program under which I was awarded it no longer exists. I am willing to send this bit of Australiana (with accompanying documentation and possibly amusing anecdote) anywhere in the world. In fact I may stuff it with Aussie comestibles. Yes, I insist on a foreigner. Someone who knows nothing of Musk Lifesavers and the like. I will send my email laina\_f-wards post haste. ---

The deadline for signing up for the Great Doper Coffee Mug Exchange is almost here. I’ll start sending out emails Sunday. Almost everyone wants to exchange with someone overseas, and not that many non-U.S.ers signed up, so I’ll be as fair as I can about it. :: adds “go buy that coffee mug” to list of things to do :: ---

I know I expressed an interest in exchanging with someone overseas, but it’s no big deal at all. I’m equally happy to be a domestic exchanger. ---

This is how I feel too… no worries if the person isn’t out of the country - just stating that I’m willing to exchange to overseas places. I’m on a first name basis with our post man 🙂 He cringes when he sees me coming 😉 Darn that Ebay! ---

I’m the resident jerk, it seems. I said I wanted somebody in the same country! But I’m willing to take anyone. ---

> [@twickster](#): > > Will we be doing a direct swap with “our” person or will we be sending to one person and receiving from another? I was planning on a more or less random drawing, so most likely it would not be a direct swap. If there’s someone in particular you want to send to or swap with, let me know – it can be arranged for a small fee. I guess I have to put a smiley here. :wally … Sorry, I meant 🙂 > [@Dung Beetle](#): > > I’m the resident jerk, it seems. I said I wanted somebody in the same country! But I’m willing to take anyone. That just makes things worse. I _love_ the people who don’t want to ship outside the U.S. – I don’t have to feel guilty about disappointing them. ---

I don’t want to ship outside the US. Keep US mugs for US citizens! No mugs for furriners! We should get rid of tax breaks that allow companies to ship US mugs overseas! What sort of commie drinks from an imported mug, I ask ya! Ahem. Happy to stay in country if that makes things easier.
