Not mine, because I don’t drink coffee, but my auntie has one that says, “Drink your coffee. There are people in India sleeping.” ---

“Nebraska, More Corn than People” I picked it up in a gift shop in Lincoln the first time my boyfriend and I went out to visit his sister. I have another favorite that I don’t use, it has our local hockey team’s logo on it and it’s autographed in silver Sharpie by one of my favorite players. It’s a pen holder on my desk at work. ---

My favorite is an over-sized lavender mug with a black and white cat on it. On one side the cat is wide awake, with the word Cat-ffeinated, and on the other side the cat is sleeping with the word DeCat-ffeinated. My daughter gave it to me for Christmas 6 or 7 years ago, and it’s been my favorite ever since. ---

I have two. My primary one is a Straight Dope mug I got in a Xmas gift exchange that the Dallas Dopers had years and years ago (Thanks, **Zyada!** ); it has the SD logo on one side, and on the other is a Slug Signorino illustration of a wild-haired, crazy-eyed face with a manic grin, titled “Coffee Mug.” If that one is in the dishwasher, I’ll use a black mug I bought from my favorite jazz club, [Murry’s](http://www.murrysrestaurant.net/). If you click through that link, you’ll see the Murry’s logo, which is a scribbly, Meiersdorf-y trumpet player; my mug is black with Scribbly Trumpet Man in white on one side and “Murry’s – Good Food, Good Jazz” on the other. ---

Since I’ve been studying a certain German terrorist group for about five years, Andreas Baader is on mine. I like drinking wormwood tea on Christmas morning while listening to dirty carols. ---

“Size does matter”. It’s the biggest mug I could find and holds about 600ml. ---

My favorite one is a mug I got at the Museum of Monterey in Monterey, CA. It has the [USS Macon’s patch](http://www.wwiijeepparts.com/ForSaleStore/images/uploads/PatchUSN.000.HTASQussMacon.JPG) on it. At least, that’s my favorite one currently. I’ve got lots of mugs, most of which tend to stay packed in boxes until such day that I actually have room for 30+ coffee mugs. ---

I have two that I alternate … they fit in the cupholder of my van. They are tall and tapered with a handle large enough for me to stick my whole hand in (like these [Parked Domain](http://www.atomicon.com.au/html/tall_coffee_mugs.html)). One is blue with polka dots and streamers and says “Happy Boss’s Day” in a big yellow star. The other has a trio of snowmen on each side. I don’t care what they look like - just that they’re useful! ---
