Too soon.

Irony is a dish best served cold.

That style of mug (I'm talking about the shape, thickness, et al of the ceramic, not the content of the decal) is very prone to chipping, leaking cracks, and broken handles. Doubt it will last as long as the other one did.

But I know that isn't really the point.

Wow, Goldy, I'm not your friend any more. I know we were never friends before (hell, we've never met), but that mug is so horrible I would befriend you just so I could un-friend you over it. Dayum.

Maybe one say when you learn to be less of a pedantic asshole you will get some friends.

I wish you luck on your journey through life.

These posts make me miss my old "I'd rather be 40 than pregnant" mug. It met a similar floor-related fate.

You might want to put her farther away from the edge of the table if that is your goal.

The mug is dead; long live the mug. I'm sorry for your loss.

Goldy, you're doing it wrong, as usual. This will last you another quarter century at least.

Fucking amateur.

You broke your last mug washing it in the bathroom? Do you not have another sink in your office? Call me prudish, but I think washing a cup in the same room where people shit is disgusting.

While I approve of this new mug, I feel dread for the horrors it will be subjected to on a daily basis.

It's the sentimental value. I understand. I like the new mug, though.

I know just how you feel. I took to my bed for a week when my "Chicago--My Kinda Town" mug smashed all over the floor after 25 years or so (I mean, it got me through graduate school and the first 2/3 of my distinguished career). But you will learn to love the new mug, and it is precious.

My experience is that the more sympathetic the character depicted on the mug, the less durable it is. My Jokey Smurf mug is about to turn 29. What kind of monster gift-wraps a bomb and sends it "To All My Smurf Friends"?

Your new vessel won't last the week.
