So unless I fins one in somebody's trash, or decide to have one commissioned, that will probably never happen. The good news here is that things which become cool and then trendy inevitably become yesterday's news. Someone else said it: someday Shag mugs will be on the shelves at thrift stores. Probably prints too. If you are still into it then, you may find one cheap and take it home. Until then, you could always videotape the Spike network, hit pause, and stare at the screen. :) Hey, if you had one of those plasma T.V.s that hang on the wall....
