I need a mug

[Yegolev]

The short version is that I want to find out who makes the mug pictured.  Not someone who just buys it and prints a logo on it.

Fly, monkeys, fly!

Closest I could find.  Comlom Industry & Trade Co., Ltd.

I own two mugs. One is a bone china thing my friend got me in London. The other is the Wumpscut Bloodcup. An item so 1999, that you can't even find pictures on the internet. Well, someone probably can. But I can't. :(

Oh, you meant mugs that will make your car smell like old coffee. My bad.

I want to know what a bloodcup is.  It just sounds like something I'd want.

The wife and I, being slaves that we are, have a mini collection of those starbucks mugs w/ the city/country on the side.

As for that mug yer looking for, my bud had one that looked exactly like it, I'll ask him.

 This is the best I could find, but it doesn't look very impressive.

There's the bloodcup! That actually looks like a knockoff, mine is tapered and classy. It slants inward.

[Yegolev]

I regret to say that I relented and bought a substitute.  It's actually a tad better than the one I had other than the fact that it is red on the outside, however I am still grieving my loss.  That mug set my personal standards for portable coffee, and seeing it run over by a car was terribly painful.  Moreso because I no longer had any coffee.

I bought a vise specifically to see if I could somehow make it round again.  That's one tough-ass mug.

Ja.

I have gone through many coffee cups in my years, and they all have one major flaw: lids that either do not seal perfectly or become filled with gunk (I like my coffee with cream and sugar - perfect bacteria breeding ground). I hafta flush the little nooks and sealing ring of my cup with a blast of hot water and a toothbrush every coupla days or chunks of nasty shit will just float out into my beverage. I would prefer to just carry around my favorite at-home mug, but doesn't work in the car.

[Yegolev]

That is exactly my fear with this fancy new twist-open lid, although I drink it straight.  The original lid just had two holes.  Actually, aside from some (more) road rash, it's prefectly serviceable and I might redeploy it on the new mug.

For home use, I enjoy some tall and narrow Starbucks ceramics.  For those "not so fresh" days, I have a hefty Christmas mug, the kind you would get as a gift with hot chocolate and assorted shit in.  I am not normally associated with Christ, but a solid and large mug is hard to find.  Most of them are of the joke variety.

The bloodcup is pretty rad.  The food in that first picture makes me nauseous though.

My mug of choice is stainless steel and just a little taller than the the one you originally posted Yegolev.  It was schwag from the American Nurses Association.  I've seen the same mug given to employees at several hospitals but with different logos.  I doubt that's much help though. 

I also have a set of Disney mugs, but that's another story.

[Yegolev]

I have a set of Disney mugs from each resort I have stayed at, plus a few generic ones.  The theory is that I can take them with me and get free soda, but somehow I always forget to take them and end up buying two more.  They are a tad too large for travel, and a tad too plastic for home use.  I just like the ceramic.  My wife uses them, though.

I examined the lid and it disassembles easily.  It's growing on me.

I keep wandering into this thread because I keep misreading that someone needs a hug.      My brain is slow.  I'm trying to be kind and you sad lot are all talking about your stupid kitchen decor.  God.  Old women.

[bhodi]

Talking about kitchenware does not preclude wanting or possibly even needing a hug.

[WayAbvPar]

My brain is as dysfunctional as Signe's, but in my own unique way. Every time I read the thread title, my brain kicks off "We Want A Rock" by They Might Be Giants. So then I am tempted to find a mug to wind a string around. Or maybe a prosthetic forehead. I am terribly confused in the mornings.
