Probably impossibe to pin down, but when did this mug pick up the nickname "Suffering Bastard"?

Woofmutt,
Well, there is the drink of course:

classic bastard: 1 part gin, 1 part rum, 1/2 part lime juice, dash o' bitters, 1 part ginger ale, over ice

I recall an interview with Bosko wherein he mentioned "he and his friends" call the classic TV vessel the "S'n B". But which friends and how did they come to know of it as a suffering bastard? Once again, I defer to Sven, another question for bigrbo.

Anywho, the name sure does fit doesn't it? And I won't be getting one anytime soon, unless I gets real lucky or someone out there has TWO and wishes to trade for one of my too cool mugs. Uh, maybe not.
