I’m sad to hear this because we’ve lost two great mods recently in Spice Weasel and Idle Thoughts. However, I understand these people have lives outside the SDMB and wish them both well. ---

Good luck Spice Weasel. > [@Morgenstern](#): > > Does she have to give back the cheap-ass coffee cup? Its not cheap, it has an ugly ass drawing on it but the one I bought has held up well over a decade. Unless they give a the mods a different mug then the only Straight Dope mug I’m aware of. ---

Unless they give a the mods a different mug then the only Straight Dope mug I’m aware of. Nope. Same one. My kids used mine for a paint cup without asking. It was not a good day. ---

Actually, the mug is slightly different. It has the same picture on it, but it also says “STAFF” on it. ---
