As suggested by Runs with Scissors in the shot glass exchange, I figured we could also do a coffee mug exchange.
I thought it would be a fun way to use a coffee mug to share a little bit about where you’re from or where you’ve been with other dopers.
I’ll set it up the same as the shot glass exchange: a Round Robin exchange (you don’t get a mug from the person you sent one to).
Feel free to include other stuff: chocolate covered espresso beans, a bag of local or specialty coffee, whatever!
Send your name, address, and username to sdmbcoffeemugexchange@gmail.com .
I’ll let it run until January 7, 2013 (so we can get the mugs out that week).
Ready… go!

Curious about what will arrive: Oh yeh.

I’d participate, but I’m a tea-drinker. Le sigh.

Sure, why not? Email sent.
Wow, I figured there would be a lot more interest in this, what with the way everyone is always talking about how they can’t get by without their morning cuppa…
I would love to join and get a mug, but they break so easily in the shipping I’d be reluctant to. Anyway, I just wanted to post and remind people to package them really, really well!
I’m in.
Email sent.
Dumb question - do I buy a new mug for this, or send one from my extensive personal collection?
Whichever you prefer. If you have a nifty one you think someone would enjoy, go for it! Alternately, if you want to get one that showcases your hometown, that would be fine too.
Yeah! I want to get mugged!
Wait, that doesn’t sound right…

I’ve got a coffee mug that can only go to one poster.
It’s got a cartoon character of a giraffe on it and in big cartoonish letters it reads “Giraffe”.
If Giraffe wants it; I’d love to give it to him.
I’m in. Off to the tourist shops! Er, where are they?

I’ve never had problems getting tea to work properly in a coffee cup…
