Dang it Chisels Slinger you exposed the master plan. That's right Hanford, Stuckie and I were planning on getting rich and retiring in the South Pacific by selling these whack mugs that took absolutely no time, thought process or creative ability to produce. The whole idea was to exploit everybody on T.C. for $100.00 clams while putting zero effort into it. The fact is, there was never a contest it was a huge and well planned conspiracy involving hundreds of unknowing people. We came up with this scam years ago. We just had to wait for the mugs to arrrive on a slow boat from China. That is where they are being mass produced by underaged monkey slave laborers. We would of gotten away with too if it wasn't for your acute observational prowess.

Serioulsy, your comment is not one I would expect to see coming from somebody who knows how much time, effort and work goes into creating something from nothing. How do you feel when somebody ask you the price of one of your creations and then roll their eyes when you give them a fair or even worse a lowball price? Nobody is getting rich from this mug and nobody is "bilking" anybody. It is a large, detailed and complex mug. Everybody who was involved has put a lot of their own time into making this mug a reality. Maybe next time Hanford and Stuckie should do something simple, boring and unoriginal so everybody can have one for a dollar.

No hard feelings on this side of the screen and if you knew me you would know I am not a confrontational type. but I do think your comment was insulting and rude towards Hanford and Stuckie. Hanford is the dude who has more than graciously provided and maintained, FOR FREE, this forum which you are regular participant in. Stuckie, who is one of the nicest and busiest cats I know, probably could of made his life a little easier by not taking on this project. I will say it again, nobody is bilkin' anybody. I think the mug should cost more money and Stuckie and Hanford actually should make some change for their efforts.

Feel free to PM me if you want to continue this discussion without burdening the board with our ranting.
