My cup owns every other cup in this thread. So I took a picture of myself with it while watching christmas tv this morning (norwegians celebrate on the 24th), all for you.
Since there seems to be a mug trend . . . I seem to have started a tradition for myself. Whenever I am taking a graduate class online (which each lasts 16 weeks) I go to the local paint-your-own pottery place and make a class-themed mug. Here was the one I made for my class on Ancient Rome. There was much coffee consumed from this mug during those four months, but I got an "A" so I was happy.
