The Lucky O'Buzzy's Irish Tiki Pub 18oz Chug Mug! According to the false memories that constitute my version of reality and history, in 1974, San Diego Tiki Bar Lucky O'Buzzy's Irish Tiki Pub had one hell of a St Patrick's day Luau. It got so out of hand, it is still refered to by locals as the "St patrick's Day Massacre." As a result of the party, zoning and alcohol rules in the city were forever changed. It was a day that would live in infamy... In a mock tribute to this historic event, I made a one of a kind hand built tiki mug. It would have been a mug that Lucky O'Buzzy's ordered from the only local mug manufacturer at the time, The San Diego Tiki Factory, to give away to patrons at the St Patrick's Day Luau in 1974. But now back to reality... here's the mug: Front: It says "St Patrick's Day Luau" around the tiki The back has the Lucky O'Buzzy's logo on it. Faintly, it says San Diego, est. 1969 under the clover Green on green. the lime green glaze came out "cloudy." Adds to the rustic, hand built charm of the mug. Manufacturer's mark, catalog #, mug designer, and false copyright date (to mess with future urban archeologists in case it ever ends up in a thrift store)on the bottom Here is the link to the ebay auction Auction ends Friday, march 13 at 7:21 pm, PST. Happy Bidding! Good Luck! Buzzy Out! [ Edited by: Bay Park Buzzy 2009-03-13 12:29 ] [ Edited by: Bay Park Buzzy 2009-03-14 14:46 ]

Keep those bids coming! Now that it just passed the $30 mark, I can no longer say it's cheaper to buy my mug than it is to have a Vantiki mug shipped to you. I'll have to come up with a new and more appropriate marketing gimmick... Someone suggested as a marketing ploy that I use a picture to show how immense this mug is compared to other mugs. I thought that would be a great idea! Notice how much larger my mug than this familiar one: Oh wait... Ok, here we go: Well at least mine doesn't have that stupid concave at the bottom. And everyone else doesn't have one in their colections just like it! You can be unique, but only if you own this mug. Buzzy Out!

Congrats to the winner! and thanks to everyone else for your bids, encouragement, and comments. I just sent it out this morning. Here was the free TC members only gift that I sent along with it: It's a ceramic tiki pendant that matches the one on the mug. Let's all do this again some time! Buzzy Out!
