Hey folks-

This came to me in a dream last night, so maybe it's a crap idea, but hear me out: You know those posters that people have in their kitchens with chiles:

and hot sauces:

and the like? Well... what if we made one, pooling our collective resources, with classic tiki mugs on it. There could be bowls in the center. Little captions under each one with the name of the bar it was from and the rough dates it was used. We could put images of all the rare and great ones on there. We've lot loads of great graphic designers in this group who could work on the layout. Maybe a nice thatch mat background and a bamboo border. You don't want it white if you're hanging it in the bar. Use some great fonts from House (if we can). CafePress has posters in 16x20 and 23x35 sizes, so we could let them do it, although this might generate interest in people outside of our circle. Plus, if you don't have a lot of mugs, slap this gem on your wall for decor instead. Mike's gallery could be the foundation to get started. But...how to choose which mugs? The debate will fill much bandwidth.

What do people think?
