Tiki Farm's reproduction of the suffering bastard is faithful and a hell of a lot cheaper than the original. I think the mugs may now be sold out, but a decanter is just $14.95. Living in the UK, I feel your pain regarding postage charges, but usually ask anyone sending stuff from the US to send it surface letter rate. This 'letter' can be a package 12"x12"x12" and costs usually costs $6-10. Takes a while, but I've yet to lose a package that way. Trader Woody
