    Hi, a question, I see you're shipping it overseas but is a 15 oz mug even compatible with our beloved non-oz drinks?

    Can I use it to drink a 350 mL of our beloved iced coffee or will it throw (spill?) an exception of sorts?

    Thanks.

    Is the logo only on one side? And if so, any chances for a lefty mug? Sorry, but have the logo on the "wrong" side just doesn't go it for me anymore.

    Well, let's see if it will be delivered to Germany...

    If it's $15 for US shipping and $5k for personal delivery, how much is a mug if we drive to Inedo and pick it up?

    Maybe you were joking and I didn't notice, but the text says "feature the WTF logo both sides". You can notice that if you look at both pictures, also: the mug is on a different position on each picture.

    Anyway: what would be the correct side for the logo? Should it be on the side you look at, or on the side where people look at when you are drinking?

    I believe he was indicating that he wanted Jake to come along as well..

    so that's 1.10 * (5000 + 50)... or $5555

    Learn the maths. It's easy.

  • (cs)

    Can I just have Jake deliver it for $50? And does the 10% war-zone fee applies to these 50?

  • JR (unregistered) in reply to Math_Teacher

    The 55 is for the bonus: "Jake will come along too for an extra $50". So start taking lessons on how to read the smaller print.

  • Math_Professor (unregistered) in reply to Math_Teacher

    I think that he meant to take both, Alex and the Intern to a nice trip to Darfur.

    Well, I'm just guessing here, but it's free of p&p.

    I suspect that Jake will throw a stick and ask you to fetch it, and if you bring it back to him, he'll scratch you behind the ear and call you a good little doggie.

    I could be wrong, of course.

  • (cs)

    Ordered!

    I cannot wait to be slurping my tea from that bad@ss mug!

    I was so tempted to get Alex to deliver personally.. But I agree with other comments, for $5000 I would definately much rather have a young blonde [female] intern deliver it..

    Next mugs maybe? :D

    I believe it was PG Wodehouse who asserted that "All Englishmen are born two gin and tonics under par." (I notice that, according to google, this has since been misappropriated by the appalling Hurley woman.)

    How did "English" come to be passé, anyway? It brings to mind how in the 60's "Afro-American" came in vogue, and then somehow in the passage of years lost its approval and gave way to "African-American". A shame, really... what was joyously celebrated as a "'fro" wouldn't carry the same weight as a "'frican".

    So are you a tonic or soda man?

    Sorry, should have explained, as this is a regional dialect issue with complex social rules:

    1. Must grow up in an area of the US that uses 'pop' instead of 'soda' to describe carbonated soft drinks (seems to be prevalent on the downwind side of Lake Erie).

    2. You leave the area for school or for work, and quickly learn that people look at you funny when you ask for 'pop'.

    3. You come back in the area and make fun of anyone who says 'pop'.

    Complicated, but it adds a little flavor to our otherwise drab existence...

    Only in the south. The rest of the world knows that "coke" = Coca-Cola (or cocaine as the situation may be), not a generic name for carbonated sugar water.

    Sorry but what really irritates me is when southern people (or any people really - it happens in my state a lot) make fun of the rest of the world for not getting their incredibly obscure slang.

    Order now! Offer ends soon!

    Canada's not overseas...

    I can't justify $23 for a single mug, but I would consider a set of two if the shipping were collectively lower.

    Failing that, I'll just have to ask an American friend for a favor (favour)...

    I totally agree that Canada's not overseas (except if you ship to the "Alert" military base at the North pole and/or if you ship from Hawaii). Regular US ExpressPost parcel usually don't cost the extra 8$ from US to Canada, not for a small weight / package size. Also, what is the shipping method, as shipping by UPS/Fedex will cost us custom fees but regular post doesn't ?
