what the hell, people?

Known facts:

1) Americans enjoy coffee.
2) Americans tend to consume large portions of what they enjoy.

Why then, is it so damn difficult to find a cheap coffee mug that holds between 24-32 ounces? I see lots of 16oz, but not much bigger. If this keeps up I may have to actually go check the offerings at Starbucks...

Tempting, although I suspect I'd worry too much about breakage. This is for the daily ritual of pre-awakening, and like the night itself, I am clumsiest just before the dawn...

You a coffee drinker now?

I'm afraid I'm not much use, here, as more than 16 oz makes me pee too much. I'm surprised Slev doesn't have some giant tankard or other, though. (Maybe they only make those for their sodas.)

Good luck!

I suspect mercurialgirl nailed it. Jonny C and me, just peas in a pod...    :)

LOL! :)

BTW, you guys free anytime this weekend? Do you have Monday off, btw?

I'll shoot you an email...

[ericrowe]

I'm afraid we are both working monday...    :/

I'm not sure how free we are this weekend; it depends on how well we can stack the various stuff that needs doing. Do email R. though, she'll have a better notion...

ask the master

I believe Slash's 32oz stainless ones came from World Market, but I'ld double check with him. Also the $1 store on Columbia Pike has 24oz occasionaly (The gasket just gives up in about a year).

Re: ask the master

[ericrowe]

Hmm, I might give world market a try then. I don't need anything fancy, but while I won't be driving with it, I will be stumbling around half-asleep, so shatterproof steel would be nice...

While it's not exactly super-cheap, $11.99 isn't too bad for this snazzy 24oz mug.

[ericrowe]

No, that's not bad at all, way below what I feared I might have to pay at Starbucks... Thanks!    :)

I know my dad has a couple of large 32-ounce and 64-ounce coffee mugs that he's picked up over the years. I know one came from 7-11 and one came from Wawa, although I don't think either chain sells them anymore.
