Tying together a ship-going theme with the beach:

Flotsam and Jetsam

(Just in case some are not familiar with the definitions: jetsam has been voluntarily cast into the sea (jettisoned) by the crew of a ship, usually in order to lighten it in an emergency while flotsam describes goods that are floating on the water without having been thrown in deliberately, often after a shipwreck. Doesn't mean I don't think these are fine fellows.)

Couple ideas:

Klaatu and Nikto-Homage to the Sci-Fi classic "Day the Earth Stood Still". Barada could be sold as a special edition at a later date. Maybe inspired by the classic Metropolis robot?

or

Klaatu (or Nikto) and Sputnik-One references classic Sci-Fi, the other references the first satellite. By the way, the mug with the rounded head would work for Sputnik since the satellite was a similar shape.

Keeping in the Hawaiian vernacular,

how about "Shakanaut" for the thumbs up guy, and "Kaptain Kane" for the other?

The decanter could be the "Okole Orbiter" if it wasn't named all ready!

I like the above one very much. You know the two astronauts that he is talking about easily and yet they are changed just enough to have a drink drunk connection. Very clever and aren't those the only astronauts that we all know anyways.

Hey Holden, that new Ultimate Luau Tunes Tiki Mug design by Doug Horne (sculpted by Squid, I'm sure) is my favorite in your line-up so far. Nice looking modern mug. Flounder's new space mugs are great as well, but as tiki goes, the Luau Tunes is the Katz PJ's. Nice work over there. They're all hits.

Oh, and nice choice with the names. It must have been tough to pick.
