Falls into the love it or hate it category. Personally, it's gotta be my new favorite and will only be used to serve drinks to my guests of honor. Anyone know who made this one or where it came from? (no markings on this mug/vase). Sabu [ Edited by: Sabu The Coconut Boy on 2002-11-14 11:05 ]

I have never been so disgusted in my life! What the hell does a dog and a freaking pineapple have in common? I think someone was on some serious drugs when they made that mold! Oh and did I mention that I got to get me one of those! I like it!

This mug? has usurped those airborne simians now. That is truly a horrific item, in a cosmic sense. Gruesome. Midnite

Now that I've begun to research, this looks a lot like some of those Napco vases that don't fall into the traditional "head vase" category. Swanky - I like your drink name. Am also thinking about a "Punctured Pineapple Punch" or a "Pina-Collie-lada". If Traderpup ever opens a chain of "Trader Pup's" restaurants, he'll have to find a way to mass-produce these. Sabu

The coconut head teapot! http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=2067531416 The picture above has changed, is that something new that you found? It looks like a nice vessel for your sweet-n-sour sauces! [ Edited by: bigbadtikidaddy on 2002-11-13 12:34 ]

I thought either I was losing my mind, or it was one of DAMNED MAGIC EYE things 'cause I couldn't see any fricken' dog anywhere in that pineapple! But this picture scares me too!

One for yer mustard, one for yer relish, I would hazard to guess. You lushes see booze in EVERYTHING, sheesh!

I used a link to the original e-bay auction photo and it looks like it's changed! Now that I have the original puppy/pineapple mug in my hands, I'll photograph it tomorrow and change the picture back. Sorry about that. Sabu
STCB Sabu The Coconut Boy Tiki Socialite Carson, California Joined: Aug 20, 2002 Posts: 2813	STCB Sabu The Coconut Boy Posted posted on Thu, Nov 14, 2002 11:14 AM Ok, Now the original puppy/pineapple mug photo is back in place. Bigbadtikidaddy - I like that coconut teapot but missed-out on the bidding. Traderpup - I LOVE that pink, ceramic monkey/peanut monstrosity. I'm starting to get a picture in my head of a psycho, cartooney-looking tiki bar, just filled with this whacko stuff and it's frightening me. What kind of tiki mugs would you use? Those big-toothed Kelbos ones? I can see that you've cleverly hidden the ebay auction link and have just used the photo. Saving it for yourself, eh? Sabu (PS: with that hair, the monkey resembles Bamboo Ben not a little). [ Edited by: Sabu The Coconut Boy on 2002-11-14 11:16 ]
