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](mailto:sdmbcoffeemugexchange@gmail.com). I’ll let it run until January 7, 2013 (so we can get the mugs out that week). Ready… go! ---

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. ---

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. ---
