Your Coffee Mug

Describe your coffee mug:

Mine is navy blue, with a gold embossed rim, and a gold illustration of a subway token on the front; the type with a hollow "y" in the middle, and that reads "New York City Transit Authority" on the border.

Mine is a white coffee mug with blue writing that says:

Pennsylvania Political Science Association
Annual Meeting
State Capitol, Harrisburg
April 5-6, 2002

It has a pix of the PA state capitol, and other sponsors for the events (all in blue)

I guess so. I've never put a coffee mug in a microwave oven. If the coffee gets cold, I pour it out and get fresh coffee.

Interesting...I'm a microwave-reheater, myself.

Oh, and by the way, one of my favorite mugs is my white one with 2 pictures of the young Elvis and the words: Graceland...Elvis Presley 1995, 60th Birthday Celebration, January 6-8

OMG, I think they all say something that includes mom, professor, or teacher -- and they're all gift mugs.

I want a NY Transit Authority mug. I have a token keyholder.

I use two mugs: plain white or white with colorful hearts.

Hehehe...my coffee mugs are Kahlua ones that my parents got with some gift set. I also have a few Gamma Phi Beta ones, but I use those for decoration. My parents have a set that says "IrishLastNames's Irish Tavern" that they got for Christmas a few years ago.

My coffee mug is a travel mug, cause I'm a tea girl (we get no respect) so I bring my tea into work/class.
I have 2 favs, one is from the All Star Movie hotel from Disney World, and the other is a green one with Grumpy on it; it says "Hasn't smiled since 1924" or something like that on it.

Carnation- we have about a hundred mugs about teaching on it; my mom is a teacher. why do all kids think its a good idea to get teachers mugs??

My fav real mug says "Damn I'm Good" on it.

I must have a zillion mugs

I have a red travel mug that goes with me to work every day.

The non-travel mugs I use most often are a set of 4 with different pictures of cats on them. I also have a bunch of mugs that were giveaways.

its cardboard and says "7-11 big brew" because i like to kill the environment and create more trash with my disposable coffee cup every morning

i am also a microwave reheater because its never hot by the time i get to work 5 minutes later (i like my coffee really hot tho)

Darned if I know! My husband teaches too and he has gotten literally dozens of mugs over the years. I want to call his principal and ask her to tell the kids that the penalty for giving a teacher a mug is suspension.

My parents are both teachers and the coffee mugs are taking over their kitchen. Mom sent 2 boxes (i.e. ream of paper size boxes) to goodwill a couple years ago, and they still have lots. She kept all the Christmas ones, even the ugly ones. We could have about 78 people over for coffee in December, I think!

I have 3 coffee cups with disney characters (living in Orlando - they best has mickey and yoda from the epcot star wars exhibit), 2 matching ones with famous German buildings (gift), 2 with general U. Florida stuff, a couple pretty pottery ones (gift from mom), 2 law school ones, and several from different law firms around town...the firms give you lots of crap during their recruiting - I have pens, notepads, CD cases, cups, coffee mugs, t shirts, etc. I have coffee mugs from all over town, except the one firm where I'm actually going to work! Hmmm, maybe I should ask for one?

Mind is a latte mug... three sections - the top is blue&blue striping, the middle is... ugh...yellowish with blue&blue fleur de lys. the last section is blue with white keys and kappa kappa gamma text in black.

My other mugs are boring plain blue and white (the white one came with my plates)
