Well, this explains why, even after hours of praying to it, my Mr. Bali Hai mug won't grant me three wishes...

Before I started keeping finds like them for myself, I gave away a beautiful set of tiki mugs (the Maois with big open brown puppy-dog eyes) to a then-beau, whose sweet Alabama mother was pretty, um, distrustful of ANYthing that could be remotely associated with demonic activity. She was, therefore, not too thrilled when her son's girlfriend, a nice girl who actually does attend church, had given him six matching pagan idols for Christmas. "You know, demons can attach themselves to things like idols." I tried to explain that while, well, that indeed might be true of an actual statue that was used for worship, I didn't think it likely that any pagans had ever prayed to or sacrified any babies to this particular group of decorative ceramic drinking mugs.

Ok, maybe some babies had been conCEIVED after downing too many tasty libations, but none slaughtered.

Ok, maybe some brain cells had been slaughtered, but no infants.

damn, I wish I still had those mugs...
