Well, that’s certainly a method, of sorts.
You have to get enough Pit Points in order to qualify.
Seriously, they’re sent out every so often, and you’ll get yours the next time the PTB get around to noticing we have some new mods that don’t have mugs. Or When The Stars Are Right, whichever comes first.
Leak? I’m not detecting any leak.
We nee you to participate in the Survivor threads if you haven’t already!
Still, I can’t help but hear Picard talking to his willy in the midst of a Borg attack. Which explains why we never saw him piss himself, and why Riker was always on his toes.
I seem to remember Ed saying they weren’t. Unfortunately, I don’t remember exactly how he said it, so I can’t search for it.
I know, I whiffed on this one. I’m working on it now.
Nope. I have never watched Survivor and it holds zero interest for me. Sorry about that.
The mugs are hand made?
/jealous
They have to be flown to each of our staffers as well. My arms are really tired after that.
No, I meant to send the list to Ed and I thought I did and it turned out I didn’t. Shi–stuff happens sometimes. In the meantime I am endlessly tortured by the prospect of really nice people drinking their coffee out of their cupped hands because they have no mugs.
I treasure my SD mug. I got it awarded to me special for performance above and beyond the call of ordinary duty, which of course means it involved squid. But that was only the beginning.
But I fear I’ve said too much already…
Thank you.
I should get a mug for just being me.
One of the reasons I got my mug was for being you, so you’re out of luck now. 
Mind you, it’s a very good mug. I still use mine every second or third day, and the pictures haven’t worn off or anything. (I am still allowed to use it, aren’t I? As long as I’m not trying to get backstage at a Cecil Adams lecture? )
I’ll second that. I’m the last thing from a moderator - and I think the reason I never dedicated myself to being the type of poster the SDMB would even think about considering for moderation duties is because I already got a mug, from some kind soul in an SDMB white elephant exchange. You can blame that person for me being an occasional unsufferable prick around here.
I blame Slug’s graphic. It does things to people.
Am I the only one that drinks their coffee right out of the carafe?
I’d like an SD Coffee Bong™, too.
I broke my mug!
And my coffee cup, too.
I don’t want to prolong this argument. Just saying, if I wanted Google’s opinion, I’d go to Google, If I wanted to ask Jeeves, I would, and if I want to hear the Straight Dope as a paying customer, I should be allowed to do so too. At least my posts are not in the gutter.
SDMB needs a niche esp stemming from a newspaper. Yeah, there’s a prolific business. :rolleyes: SMDB (i.e., Chicago’s City Paper) profits from, hmm, selling out server space? Nnn? (A little Church Lady inflection here.)
Well, that’s what Wikipedia and my Magic 8 Ball tell me, so there you have it. And, if it’s on the internet, it must be true!
