The Mug Challenge
4Current Challenge: Take a photo of your coffee mug and post it.
WHAT’S GOING ON HERE??
The basics: We’re doing a little April Fools’ Day game, asking our users to complete a series of ridiculous, stupid, and fun (we hope) photography/writing/drawing tasks throughout the day.
But why: Because April Fools’ Day has grown tiresome. Sure, maybe we laughed the first few years that corporations took on the challenge of lying to their customers. But then, we got to the point where Continental was tweeting about their new airliner constructed entirely from bacon or whatever and it got a little old. We want to celebrate April Fools’ Day in a fun way.
Okay, but why on March 31st: Because you’re more likely to be tethered to your computer on a Friday than a Saturday.
Will there be winners: Yes! The winner will be whoever gets the most votes on their entry!
Will there be prizes: Yes! The pride of knowing you had some fun on the internet!
So, there won’t be prizes: Correct. Anyway, we hope you enjoy yourself.

If only I could figure out how to do this from my mobile device. lol
@tkaos Why not a desk or laptop?
@tkaos start a post, then turn your phone sideways (landscape) to make the photo upload link appear
@Turken thanks for the tip I was about to do that and then I used the " request desktop site " option which also worked!!!
@tkaos i can’t use the app to post pictures. It is really annoying. I just use my mobile browser, turn my phone sideways and the option shows up.
I don’t drink coffee but here’s a 30ish year old mug that hangs out in my cabinet
@metaphore What about tea?
@Targaryen Not often. But I’ll do hot chocolate when it’s cold enough
Bought from the original coffee shop when I used to live in Saratoga. Praying I never break this because I love the shape so much.
@Turken I’ve always wanted to try a cup but the $20 price tag is pretty rough.
@Targaryen yeah, the coffe itself is decent but not worth the price most of the time. And from what I’ve heard, DWCC is pushing to get their coffee into small coffee shops across the country, so you might be able to find somewhere where you can just buy a single brewed cup and not have to invest in a whole bag
@Turken Nice, I just wanted to see what it does to me. Like after one cup will I be like this? also I wanted to brew a super caffeinated coffee with caffeinated water just to see what happens.
@Targaryen @Turken
When I used to work at the psychiatric hospital someone gave me a concerta patch to try and that’s exactly what I was like. I never walked so fast for rounds and I was talking a mile a minute.
One of my best impulse purchases ever. I have the holiday version too.

@sammydog01 The longer you look the more you find in the picture.
@Targaryen Side 2:
@sammydog01 that’s so cool!
@sammydog01
Where did you get it? My brothers was a barista for years, even spent a couple months in Colombia making coffee in a farm. That would be the perfect Xmas gift for him.
@Star2236 calamityware.com
They have a 10% off sale for April Fool’s.
They sent me this code: FANDF2304-10
@sammydog01
Thanks
@bullrocky I use the blue one for drinking in the bathtub.
@bullrocky couple more dents and scratches and it’ll look just like mine!
I miss the days of fun meh swag beyond the occasional shirt variation…
@bullrocky Nice. I’ve got one sitting in my apartment somewhere as well.
@bullrocky @Turken Keep making suggestions, we see them and @Dave does take note for stuff that seems popular.
I don’t drink coffee so here’s my morning dring.
[1]:
@braveit1 Pour it in a mug- it will taste better.
@braveit1 @sammydog01 and then pour that into a coffee machine. Also plain water is fine too.
@sammydog01 @Targaryen No coffee machine.
This mug only cost $20, plus my entire life savings!
@awk Is it an NFTea?
You got the “In-n-Out” Urge?!
@ioBuddha Nice. @Chad had one that looked like a cup from Whataburger.
(Not as good as @carl669’s Friendship mug, however.)
@narfcake So is it Forsake foxes or… For Sake?
@narfcake @Targaryen It’s for a Japanese rice wine often served warm.
[g,d&r]
@narfcake @Targaryen @werehatrack Uhhh - if you drink that much of it at once you’ll end up on the floor.
Sake cups
@narfcake friendship mug posted further down
@mehla Good morning!
I have several cups that I use for coffee. This is the one I’m using today.
@Pony Nice!
@tkaos Shot in the dark, Kirby Puckett?
@tkaos Mmm … I fixed your mug for you…
@targaryen
@riskybryzness I do love me some Takis.
This is one of the blandest mugs I own. But i’m too lazy to go get another one.
@mbersiam It does what it’s supposed to do, contain liquids, nothing wrong with that.
A very complete view of this little cartoon house; kind of appropriate for the way this Mehrathon started off.
@Kyeh so cute!
The back:
@sammydog01 Thanks!
@Kyeh I like this, kinda fun.
@Targaryen You did see where the little dog is seated, right?
@Kyeh I do now I didn’t see that before.
@Targaryen
That’s why I chose this one to post.
Steampunk Skull Coffee Mug!
@martinbogo I do enjoy me some steampunk.
@Targaryen my kiddo insisted we buy this for the on their 10th birthday. I swear, every time I open the cabinet to get a coffee mug… it’s there. Looking at me. Promising a SkyNet future.
@martinbogo Maybe you’ll appreciate this band then.
I don’t drink coffee. Banana for scale.
@heartny That’s a weird way to eat a banana but that’s cool.
This is the mug I was using yesterday. It’s still on the counter.
It says EEK! I’VE GOT CLOWNS IN MY COFFEE!
@mossygreen Is this from Circus Circus?
@mossygreen totally Circus Circus. Nice mug!
@Targaryen @martinbogo It’s from Goodwill, I bought it hoping/assuming it’s from Circus Circus by way of Goodwill.
@martinbogo @mossygreen I camped at their campground back in the 90s. Not sure if they still do that or not now.
@martinbogo @mossygreen @Targaryen They still list an RV Park area on their website. Not sure how that compares to before time.
I do fondly remember Circus Circus. We didn’t go often but it was fun. And they used to donate lots of little items for our grade school fundraising carnival (used decks of cards, dice, and things like the mug above and other little ceramic decor items)
Another favorite
@heartny Good one I love this quote.
@Targaryen Words to live by
Too late for the challenge, but I love this mug my kids got me.
@btwonder It’s a forum it’s all for fun so post away.
Here is my mug of the morning.
It’s my everything mug. Coffee, soup, ice cream, it’s big enough for it all.
