Feb 4 2008Brass Knuckles Mug Is Not Actually Brass
Where I work we have a coffee social every morning from 10 - 10:30 a.m. Seeing as how I try to do as little work as possible I always take advantage of this opportunity to escape Cubeville. The only problem is that people try to be social. Listen, I'm there to nurse my hangover and avoid work -- not to hear about how sick your kids are. So maybe Thabto's MUG might help get my point across. Available in both blood stain and butterfly (wtf?) models, the mugs resemble brass knuckles. Except they're ceramic and will probably shatter into your hand if you ever try to punch someone. While I admire where this product was going, I think there's a much better way to let people know how tough you are and that you should be avoided during coffee socials. Two words: territorial pissing. I come down when the social starts, get my coffee, and then urinate in the corner by the vending machines. Nobody comes within eight feet of me. Hell, most people leave altogether. But just to be safe I still wave a knife around.

Ok, so in a weird way I understand the bloody mug, but the butterflies? WTF is right!

maybe it's meant to look like you've been beating up butterflies. cause while anyone can hit a stranger with a coffee mug, it takes a real sick bastard to hit a butterfly.

If they made it out of brass, I might be interested.

I think if the mug was ceramic, but the handle were brass I'd buy one. A coworker's being a jackass? break the mug over the board room table and you're good to go. Or just punch him with the whole damn thing.

I'm so manly, I drink the coffee straight from the percolator or let the espresso machine drip right into my mouth. I need no froth, and I need no cup, lest one with finger-holes in it.
