Bamboo Ben Should Have A Mug!!

Pages: 1 2 66 replies

Don't you all think it's about time that one of the hardest working guys in the tiki biz and a true tiki Icon have his own mug? From what I know of Ben he's a pretty creative guy and I have a strong feeling he would design a mug that would be a "Must Have" by everyone in the tiki community. I also have a good idea it would be wildly different than your standard designs.

Let's get together and let Holden know that this should be......must be done!!

I'd love to see that happen, and mentioned it to Ben at the Enchanted Tiki Room event. How 'bout a mug based on one of BB's tiki bars. Never seen a "tiki bar" mug before.

Done.

O hell yes & it should come already broken, Just look what Ben did to these cheap little mugs :D :D

Blah

Blah

Blah!

I'll never have a mug or be in Tiki Magazine.

Luck is against me.

I'm gonna go hang out with Beck now.

I'm a loser baby, so why don't you............

Hey Ben Pass "the Cheeze Whiz!"

Mug shmug...

only time will tell!

Hell, GROG design two already. How many more need to be designed?

Is that last one a low-flow mug, that realeases drinkage in slowly timed rhythmic method? :drink:

I didn't know Tiki Magazine had a centerfold?

How about this:

They paved paradise
And put up a parking lot
With a pink hotel, a boutique
And a swinging hot spot
Dont it always seem to go
That you dont know what youve got
Till its gone
They paved paradise
And put up a parking lot

They took all the trees
Put em in a tree museum
And they charged the people
A dollar and a half just to see em
Dont it always seem to go
That you dont know what youve got
Till its gone
They paved paradise
And put up a parking lot

Hey farmer farmer
Put away that d.d.t. now
Give me spots on my apples
But leave me the birds and the bees
Please!
Dont it always seem to go
That you dont know what youve got
Till its gone
They paved paradise
And put up a parking lot

Late last night
I heard the screen door slam
And a big yellow taxi
Took away my old man
Dont it always seem to go
That you dont know what youve got
Till its gone
They paved paradise
And put up a parking lot

NAH! With a Dictatorship you get stuff done faster!
Have ben pick one!

My vote would have to be for this one. An homage to Ben's website. It should also have a heat sensitive glaze so it would keep changing colors...like a mood ring.

Yes!! I want on the list too.

I think Kate right about Grog's bamboo mug there, but I think you should add to that idea Master Squidness...How about putting a tool belt around that bamboo cup (waist high), nail pouch, hammer, tape, cool buckle, etc....now, that would be a choice mug!

Great call Babalu but shouldn't the tool belt also have a Budweiser in it? :wink:

Absolutely!

Bud holsters on either hip!

No matter what Squid and Holden do, Thor's rendition should at least be represented in this thread.

Ummm... I'm in, sign my name on the dotted line for DaBenMug but I think.. maybe it needs to be more fancy, involved, have Bamboo, ropes & twine, knots, tapa... stuff like Ben builds. I know Holden & Squid know what to do I'm really excited to see this project.. yay!

I'm not so sure that we'd want to be drinking out of his head though?

:lol:

I'm thinking more on the lines of the GOOF!!!

And I'm thinking more on the lines of your previous doo, the angular style hair with goatee. I thought that was much more celebrity distinct. Dig?

GROG posted on Sun, Dec 2, 2007 10:15 AM

GROG thought the Goof mugWAS the Bamboo Ben mug.

Sounds good only 23 days until Xmas.

You guys can turn it around by then right?

I haven't even seen the design/sculpt (???) and Dave, we still need to get the remaining contest designs done asap! NO WAY I could pull this off by Christmas. Maybe a prototype but even that's gonna be tight. WHERE'S THE DESIGN???

GROG, I thought you ran that design by Holden already? Damn. I gotta sculpt it over????

M

Howzabout we make a Bamboo Ben Bottle Topper? It would fit well in your hand.

Ok.

This is getting a little ugly.

I thought we settled this Bamboo Ben Bashing a while back.

You guys suck!

I'm outta here.

Made it to 4k posts.

I'm done!!!

this time for real.

Good riddance. Nobody liked you anyways. Like that old saying goes "F*&k'em if they can't take a joke!"

BB

I didn't even know Bamboo Ben was a real person.

I thought he was like Jack from Jack in the Box or someone like that?

He's not real is he?

GOODBYE CRUEL INTERNETS!
