Lots of emphasis there.<\/p>\n
The only two mugs that matter are my Denny’s mug and my PRS mug. \u00a0These are my mugs. \u00a0I don’t get made when someone else uses them, but I would prefer, maybe heavily prefer, that no one else uses them but me. \u00a0They both have different uses.<\/p>\n
Denny’s Mug<\/strong><\/p>\n I stole this mug from a Denny’s in Queensbury. \u00a0It happened during one fateful summer where I made numerous late night Denny’s trips with Kevin, Reggie, Shane, and Colin. \u00a0I don’t really need to add the ‘late night’ preface there, I’m pretty sure no one ever goes to Denny’s at other times. \u00a0 At least we didn’t then.<\/p>\n It was the time period where I had actually been made fun of at college by Keifer because 90% of the stories I told started with “At 2 am” because we all worked that summer and did nothing but play frisbee and go to Denny’s. \u00a0Or maybe I’m combining summers. \u00a0Whatever. \u00a0Your memory is no better than mine.<\/p>\n Regardless of my memory, I stole this Denny’s mug. \u00a0And when I make a cup of coffee in the morning, I drink from my Denny’s mug. \u00a0It’s speckled, authentic, and awesome. \u00a0And it was stolen from Denny’s. \u00a0By my hands, because I wanted it, would cherish it, and use it all the time. \u00a0I will not,\u00a0will<\/strong><\/em> not<\/strong>, let anyone else use it. \u00a0It’s mine. \u00a0But that’s not true, Sam is envious of it, and sneaks it to use when I’m not around. \u00a0I suppose I’m ok with that. \u00a0But guests, sorry, get your own if you can.<\/p>\n PRS Mug<\/strong><\/p>\n Years ago (like 5) Josh ‘the man’ Wallens lived near Baltimore and worked at PRS. PRS is Paul Reed Smith Guitars.<\/a>\u00a0 It was pretty awesome. \u00a0He worked hard to get there and had the job for a few years before the economy left him without steady employment.<\/p>\n But that first year Josh sent me a PRS mug and shirt. \u00a0I still wear the shirt all the time. \u00a0Love it. \u00a0But the mug, I saw how it could become lost among the masses of coffee mugs I already had unless I gave it the status it deserves. \u00a0So it became my wine mug.<\/p>\n When I drink wine at home, I drink it out of the PRS Mug. \u00a0It is fantastic. \u00a0It has this unique little peak, a pointy edge at the top of the handle, where my thumb continually rubs against it while I use it. \u00a0Makes it special and unique. \u00a0We had guests once and one of them, despite being told not too, used PRS to drink wine out of. \u00a0I was pretty livid. \u00a0Tried not to be. \u00a0Kept it together. \u00a0But when he joked about stealing it I told him he wouldn’t make it out the door with losing the hand that was holding it.<\/p>\n Its a fantastic mug. \u00a0Period. \u00a0Nothing else to say about it. \u00a0It sits up in the liquor cabinet away from all the other coffee mugs reveling in its prestige. \u00a0It deserves it.<\/p>\n <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" I have a bazillion coffee mugs. \u00a0that’s an actual number not an exaggeration. I’ve thought about getting the actual number down to a hearty 6 maybe. \u00a0I can’t ever see needing more than 6. \u00a0Of course, those 6 don’t include…. THE ONLY TWO MUGS THAT MATTER!!!!!
