When you teach kids that guns are harmless tools, like spoons and cups, what could possibly go wrong?

Speaking of “harmless tools”, didn’t Erick E. E. of RedState order these for all his followers?

“They are heavy.”

Well, duh! With 13 rounds in the clip, what do you expect?

Did you put it on your ‘wish’ list, TBogg?

Perfect for holding up a $tarbucks.
“I’ll have a refill of Sumatra tens and twenties only.”

I’d like to see the picture that goes with Bessy406, too, one-tooth and half balding…..

“Just a shot for me.”

That’s the joke, folks. Be sure and threaten your waitress.

yeah, that’s almost as dumb as re-electing a war criminal.

More things that I wish that I did not know existed.

I lost two IQ points just looking at that thing. I hope that it’s temporary.

Not, however, as dumb as a big barrel of salted dicks.

I…er…uh…I actually bought one of these for a friend.

I’ll wait for the tippy cup version.

Almost as dumb as the anti-duopoly rainbow-farting-unicorn cups…

Or, even worse, extending credit to the Green Party.

Glad you’re sticking with it.

Excellent way to ban all guns. Turn in your gun and receive this free heavy coffee cup. It’s heavy and also bullet proof, too. Wards off every type of theif/communist/marxist/socialist/liberal/kenyan usurper..etc…etc…etc. Get yours today. Sorry only one per customer because, you know, they’re heavy.

But I hear the green party is making a come back.

It’s the perfect gift for the guy (or gal!) who already owns a set of Truck Nutz.

This gives me a great idea for a novelty Q-tip holder.

Yes, I was extremely disappointed when Bush won a second term. That IS what you meant, right?

an beverage?

Valentines Day, February 8, 2013?

Maybe if you are a knuckledragger, you only look at the pictures and the words just don’t even enter into it.

Ermagard. Was it heavy?

Speaking of Americans and stupidity, did you know that being forced to choose between your lobbying gig and your job as an elected official is exactly the same as narrowly escaping being lynched?

HEY! There’s no trigger. It’s defective!

But …

This product does not carry an extended warranty

Does that mean I need to purchase my own liability insurance? Quelle bummer!

And here, you can eat that gun

“Kind of”?

No kidding.

There really is no TBogg thread where “inb4 Dr0nz” is inappropriate, is there.

This is ALMOST as classy as the Christmas card I received from a 1st grade grade teacher, her husband and two grade school kids posed with a whole bunch of survivalist gear and assault weapons. The joke was supposed to be about the Mayan calendar. It arrived on December 14, the day of the Sandy Hook massacre. I took one look at it and dropped it like it contained anthrax. If it weren’t for bad taste, some people would have no taste at all.

You would have preferred the Plutocrat?

We all know his first priority if he had elected would be to bring peace and justice to the world.

Nom nom BANG!

Aw schucks! LOTEr comments like these sure do drive home the point that the only thing that matters is that team “D” wins over team “R”.

P.S. Dr0nz

OK, I’ll bite. What matters to you? Please be specific and explain how your vote in a presidential (or indeed any other) election is going to advance the cause you most support, whatever that is.

I’ll go first, just to make this fair: What matters most to me (if I have to pick one) is inequality on both a national and a global scale. I considered the positions of “Team D and Team R” (to use your rather childish terminology) and concluded that voting for Mitt Romney would be worse for the cause of inequality. Also for the environment, the rights of women, the rights of gays, the rights of minorities, and — oh yes — the economy. Therefore I voted for the ticket that seemed to me more likely to do more good and less likely to do more evil, even though I have deep reservations about the candidate’s positions on many issues. Your turn.

You can have my coffee when you pry it from my cold, dead fingers.

Or when it gets room temperature.

Either of those.

Beyond the socio-cultural tastelessness of this product (which I’ll bet has had pretty good sales), my materials-nerd mind wonders just how long this ceramic product can survive even gentle thermal shocks and slightly hard contacts with surfaces. The handle-cup joints kinda scream out LIKELY HIGH STRESS ZONES (assuming the handle isn’t glued on).

I’ll wager the rejection rate in production is pretty high, and the relatively low cost suggests that little time or energy is put into careful fashioning of the green (unfired) bodies nor sufficiently slow thermal up- and down-ramping in the firing/annealing kiln. One of the commenters over there is probably right, that it’s best put on a display shelf for decoration only (if you’re into that kind of thing).

Happiness is a warm coffee.

I don’t know enough about ceramics to say anything on that part, but I do think that ‘handle’ looks really, really uncomfortable to use. (My favorite mug is an REI stainless-steel thermal job.)

Ever get the feeling that gun-fanatics are really just passive-aggressive suicidals?

Yeah, at least one commenter over there noted that the handle was much shorter than depicted in the photo, and was in fact uncomfortable to use. I assume there is a reason why most ceramic mugs/cups – at least in my limited experience – have a kinda-sorta distended oval loop for a handle, wider at the top (comfort) and tapering at the bottom (structural support, better cup-handle bonding cross-section; joint at top is usually also tapered, AFAIK).

[Note that my past life in ceramics was more on the researchy end, rather than in consumer ware manufacturing, though I had former colleagues who worked production for a while. Had an interesting (and dusty) after-hours tour once of a tile production plant; a more complicated process than one might expect. Commercial-scale production of consumer ware is likely even more complex.]

Also, what owlbear1 @40 said. It’s kind of a Hold-My-Beer-And-Watch-This cult; Johnny Knoxville is their Deity.

Just noticed this in the ad:

“An beverage”?

Brings to mind Bill Maher’s Dirty Harry & David Gun Catalogue: A “massacre basket” for any occasion.

Ha, not bad – Maher is at his best with set bits like that. [The round-table discussions are much more uneven, especially when dominated by whomever shouts the loudest. Yeah, I’m lookin’ at you, Nick Gillespie (aka Fonz of Freedom*).

Just from the apparent quality of the glaze in the picture, I wouldn’t trust it with a hot acidic beverage like coffee–unless you like the idea of chromate and lead in your grog….
