​181     Thoughts on Coffee Cups (Mugs) for all occasions...

7/15/2020

I don't know how many people, outside of my immediate family, know that I collect coffee mugs.  I also have collected A&W Root Beer mugs, but that's basically been contained at five which include (I think) the standard sizes and the logos which I remember from my youth.  I still would like to have one of the "sample," or baby size (3 1/2" high) mugs with the bullseye logo which is the one I remember from my youth.  That would be a complete enough set to be totally satisfactory to me.  This is the one I mean:

Coffee mugs, on the other hand, are another story entirely.  I have mugs from many of the places (cities, states, theatres, etc.) I have been; from some touring shows I've attended; from every college/university I have any connection to; from museums; from zoos; all kinds of mugs.  I even have 14 different official Apple Computer mugs, more than half of which predate the change to the solid color logo.  Needless to say, a lot of these mugs I simply display on a set of shelving in my office, but even "everyday" mugs (those I actually use, as opposed to just display) are, for the most part, ones which have been collected from somewhere.  I use those mugs because they are duplicates or they are among those I would be less upset about if they did happen to get broken.  (Actually, Bonnie collects mugs, too, but not to the extent I do.)
 
Anyway, the other day I did a web search for "Coffee Mugs, images" just for the heck of it.  I was astounded at the results.  There were hundreds of hits providing images of coffee mugs of all sizes and shapes with a huge number of sayings and/or pictures on them.  I was intrigued.  So, I copied some of them and thought that I'd write a post about some of what I had found.  I presume that all, or at least most, are copyrighted, but I don't anticipate being sued because all I'm doing is providing free publicity.  Anyway, here goes.
 
I liked this one because it seemed like it applied to me.

There are a LOT of Harry Potter oriented mugs, not all of which I suspect are strictly legal, but I liked several of them.  This one seemed a "morning" type.

Whereas, this one was more general purpose.
Picture
I wish that I had had this one while I was still teaching.
Picture
On the other hand, there are LOTS of topics.  I liked this one because of Maggi's recent wedding.
Picture
Star Wars provided material for a number of mugs.
Picture
On the other hand, a few show several popular culture influences.  I really like this one.
Picture
Some provide reassurance.
Picture
Others just speak to some profession.
Picture
Still, as a true coffee addict, I have to say that:
Picture
While there are a good many more which I have already collected, I think that that's enough of this silliness for now.  I'll be back in a couple of weeks with some other crazy (?) thoughts.  In the meantime --
