After reading this thread for a while now I finally headed down to Big Lots and bought one of the green mugs... afterwards I felt cheap and sleazy and decided to leave the mug in my editing suite at work... that way I don't have to take it home and if I'm lucky someone might steal it or better yet knock it onto the floor and break it! I don't know, the mug looked cool and all but it was just seriously lacking in mana. It might have had to do with the made in China sticker... or maybe because it was uninspired and mass produced... or maybe because it ripped off a Tiki Farm design.

I don't mean to insult or belittle anyone who enjoys the tiki items they bought at Big Lots or diminish the importance of this find, but for me it just didn't work. Just my $.02.

If anyone out there doesn't have a Big Lots nearby and wants this mug let me know... I'd be happy to send it to someone who would appreciate it.
