That mug is Golob alright. Just look at the cold rationality of its construction.

Microwave ovens are an invention I wish I could undo. They are useless. There isn't a single thing microwaves can do better than a regular oven/stovetop. Not one thing, not even boil water.
Rant over.

Hotpockets. Two minutes from freezer to mouth: Teenager and/or stoner fare.
Those of 'typical' teenage or stoner back story totally understand the cheap food amazement that the wondrous Microwave bestows upon us.

@7, for even more fun, use one of your friend's real CDs. Works even better if you're high, though if you're TOO high, you may suffer from the delusion that small points of blue light have taken over your entire apartment.
Not recommended: an egg. Unless the microwave and apartment in which it resides belong to someone you hate.

Brings back old memories of when certain plates with metal in them would start sparking in much older microwaves.
One time I tried to microwave an Arby's Roast Beef still in it's wrapping foil. Started sparking and burned a small section of the bun.

A couple of years ago, I brought a sausage to work for lunch. I didn't realize that the sausage was rancid until I cooked it in the microwave at work.
That made for an exciting afternoon. No sparks, but my co-workers were PISSED.

@9,
Microwaves are worse for boiling water, but I submit that they're better for heating a single serving meal up while minimizing dirty dishes.

My microwave sorta blew itself up, and I replaced it with a toaster oven instead. Much more useful.
