OK. just some coffee cups I've managed to hang on to through the years. They certainly don't tell everything about me, but they do give some clues.

Chicken broth, are you really drinking chicken broth out of a stainless steel coffee mug. Coffee is black, If you need cream and sugar your drink something other then real coffee.

I have two maybe 3 cups I use for my coffee. One is stainless with a porcelain liner, 14oz. the second is a old restaurant mug ceramic 10oz. the third is a white porcelain mug 14oz.

I have several from my military days, and my collage days and a couple from places I worked.

I cup I hold most dear is the restaurant mug as it belonged to my grandfather. I hold more than coffee.

Ive a few--no pics though. One is in the shape of a coconut--that has some Hawaiian scene on it. Got as a gift from a Nephew who spent his Honeymoon in the Islands. Another I got as part of a Christmas gift from another Nephew, and is a John Wayne coffee mug with scenes from The Man Who Shot Liberty Valance on it. Another is a coffee mug I bought at the Alamo-during my last visit.

I wish I could find one featuring a scene or two from: Stagecoach and featuring my namesake.

20 years ago I turned 50. My daughter gave me a coffee cup that said, "WHAT, ME 50?! in 2 more years SHE will be 50 and she's gonna get it back. . It's well broke in too. No tellin' how many cups of great coffee have been drank from it.

Our coffee cups are more of a travelog than anything else. Cruise ships, Hotels we stayed at for those special occasions, Exotic cities. And then there's the WORLDS GREATEST GRANDMA and WORLDS GREATEST GRANDPA.

Hey, if he has a problem with it, can I have his?


I have a few coffee mugs nothing worth posting. BUT...I do have "a few" of the 34oz insulated mugs, mostly made by Aladdin. At last count, over three hundred. For some reason or reasons that I can't explain, I just started collecting them. I would post some picks of my favorites, but I just moved them into storage in Texas in anticipation of relocating there. Maybe after I get straightened out I can do it.

Nice collection there Bob*
My very favorite would have to be the cup I had signed by one
of our true "American Hero's" Lt. Col Ed Saylor* (crew #15)
one of the last 4 surviving "Doolittle Tokyo Raiders"! whom
I had the great pleasure to meet & talk with last year at a
local Air-Show along with my oldest son (pictured)
.. needless to say I was thrilled!

"I like the AIRHEADS cup!"

Me too Frank. My last one was a 94 Mystic I sold in 1998 after being unable to use the front brake after I had ridden for a while due to old right elbow surgeries. Still miss it.

I drive a Miata convertible sometimes now, and it's great - but there's nothing like a motorcycle.

Can't post a picture at the moment, but one my daughter gave me years ago is a favorite.

I write lefthanded and upside down--the pen below my knuckles, dragging the hand along the line.

The cup has a picture of a large ape writing that way, and the words "Leftist Gorilla".

I also had one years ago with a couple of Chinese characters on it, with the translation, "Honorable Mother".

I'm male, but some of the people I worked with thought the mug was highly appropriate.

What can I say; It's coffee from the break room at work. Without the fake cream it would be totally undrinkable. Probably about two hours cold too.

Seriously though, I gave up putting sugar in it years ago but I have to have a little milk in it.

Good fun though and keep posting photos.

My BIL buys things from movies---props and such. he thought he was buying 5 tin cups that were being sold from the company. They had been used in Westerns over the years.
He got 5 boxes for like $50---big boxes, full.

If you don't like cream in your coffee, try condensed milk.

I really like that mug...I want one.

Well, maybe bacon
