    TSP Talk Mug Shots

    ----------------------------------------------------------------

    I don't have a tsptalk coffee cup yet. But i plan to whine and cry or else pay a princely sum until i do.

    Then i'm going to take it everywhere i go and snap photos of it having a good time.

    Do you have a tsptalk coffee mug (or other logo'd gear)?

    Post pics here. Or else post them in the media thread where they belong. But tell the story here.

    Oooh, goody goody, this is going to be so much fun.

    Burro,

    You are really grinding for that coffee cup.

    Like you, I will never buy it - I want to earn it. That is only one way to really get one. Always seem to come up short - maybe I'll start market timing events like this past Friday.

    More likely, I'll be partly in and move all in early enough to catch a wave the true market timers don't have confidence in. I should be in range at least once in the next decade or so.
    Lookin' up at the 'G Fund'!!!

    I earned a coffee mug earlier this year, but I've bought a couple as well. Tom charges a fair price for them and they last a long time, as long as someone doesn't steal it like they did one of mine.
    God bless the United States of America!

    Wha? You got more than one cup? No wonder somebody stole it.

    I usually leave mine (non-tsp) on a fencepost opening a gate or climbing through wire and then after i get thirsty remember exactly where but by then it would cost more time than the coffee was worth to retrieve and it's never still there when i get down that road again. Time is taxpayer money you know.

    So where's the pics?

    All right, burro. I'll kick this thing off for ya. I won my mug in March 2011. Here's two shots of it in beautiful Okinawa, Japan.

    First, with the Shisa (lion dog) statue at the entrance to my estate:

    ...and now at Cape Maeda, where I went snorkeling today.

    Suh weet. That's like an island paradise over there it looks like, and the coffee cup ain't half bad neither.

    I don't have access to either one, yet.

    What's up with the lion entrance? Is that like feng sheui or somthing?

    Nice work man, outstanding.

    Yeah, it is an island paradise here. Sometimes I grow a mustache and wear a Detroit Tigers hat even though I'm from LA, and I pretend my white minivan is a red Ferrari while I drive around trying to solve crimes. My friends think I'm crazy when I call them names like "TC", "Rick", and "Higgins". But I don't care, as long as "that little voice inside my head" doesn't get me into too much trouble...

    The lions are there to protect from evil entering the home. The Japanese have a lot of superstitions, and the Okinawans even more so. The shisa (shee-saa) actually come from Chinese culture. A lot of Chinese influence here, as Okinawa was the hub of trade between China and Japan back when it was known as the Kingdom of Ryukyu. Anyway, yeah. That's why we have lions...

    Out in my neck of the plains folks usually just keep a remington 12 ga pump close to ward off evil at the door. Must be pretty effective because not many evil spirits come to the door round here.

    But i might end up in a less rural place sometime where that activity is frowned on, do they make minature shisas a person could put on a side table just inside an apartment door? And where would i find one?

    Chinatown i suppose, but how will i know which one is right for me?

    I absolutely love this idea. I'm sorry that I missed it when it was first posted.

    Let's call it something like, "TSP Talk Mug Shots" - (do you mind if I change the title of this thread, burro?)

    Here's my mug looking out over the Wasatch Front Mountains / Valley:

    Check under your pillow early next week.

    If not for your 6.92% gain in June, then for this great idea for a thread!

    Those are some nice looking cups but the down side is they get all sparkly when heating the morning coffee in the microwave from the weekly pot you make Monday.

    Maybe there is a model with no shiny stuff?

    I usually leave my coffee cups in wiring closets, fiber panels, under raised floors or in vacant cubicles. Along with my notebook and pencil. They eventually get found.
