Indeed it is.
But it also creates the awkwardness that, like user names, you have to explain to others what the actual f*CK it means....
And that explanation involves "well, there's this internet forum for bikes that I visit...."

I'd be concerned the mug was impregnated with picolax and anyone drinking from it could be the next victim! ๐Ÿ™‚

But on principle I refuse to buy anything now unless it is marketed from a crayzee website with whacky graphics by a gung-ho CEO

I hope so. Mine is going to live on my office at work. As previously mentioned, I don't drink tea or coffee so I'll soon know if anyone 'borrows' it ?

One of my colleagues used to work in medical imaging and radiography so he may get it but the others won't have a clue.

Try logging off (or in my case, just trying to use it on mobile, even logged in), and you'll be pleasantly surprised, I think. ๐Ÿ™‚

Out of interest, do ST get a comission from Skimlinks form anything bought from the ST shop via a link from the ST forum?

Every little helps?

Actually, What you need to do is a mug multipack:

****OS
Picolax
Sudocrem Cat
Owned With Bombers
Wee in their shoes
Hammer Frozen Sausage into their lawn
It works fine on my iPad

There must be one more classic I've missed to make it up to an 8-pack?ย  Hamsters?ย  Great Hack reference?

(Feel free to put my royalty cheque in the post)

EDIT:ย  Oooh - a personal favourite of mine:ย  "I remember this when it was all coffee and cream".ย  May not have the profile of the others, I admit...

When it comes to mugs/clothing with phrases about a forum on the internet, I get a bit icky. Canโ€™t imagine Iโ€™m the only one, and yet the STW logo is a lovely bit of design and just subtly on a nice quality navy polo shirt (not all of us wear T-shirts) Iโ€™d put money on would get people buying. I would.

And thatโ€™s my unasked for opinion.

@keithb there used to be many references to felching hamsters which could make for an interesting mug and talking point in the office. Or a trip to HR and belongings in a box shortly afterwards.

Pumping up the badger. I did a sketch from memory.

Is this still a contentious topic issue?

How about... "Berm It" on the inside of the mug.

Thereโ€™s always soup, you knowโ€ฆ

Itโ€™s what I put in my original STW mug, perfect size to hold a whole can of Heinz soup.

@mark Yup, thatโ€™s it (I had just the subtle cog logo in mind, which I also think would more suit the smart/casual nature of a polo shirt).

And whilst Iโ€™ve got the mic, the 502 hamster cog is a lovely bit of design too that surely has other uses like a mug?

Bang on! (although I may be alone, but that's great - discrete, will be nice quality and doing a bit to keep the hamsters etc)

Final request would be a little bit tailored/brought in - not full blown slim fit (obvs!) but just to enough to give it a nice smart/casual fit that can be dressed up or down. Genuinely would be a 'take my money' from me.

I've just had a play with Gemini. I can get Magneto Dog and I can get Sudocrem Cat, but not simultaneously.

โ€˜Owned with bombersโ€™ is the greatest phrase ever to come out of STW.
I also liked โ€˜hoof him in the slatsโ€™.

I still regularly use 'hoof him (/it/her) in the slats' but not sure I'd want it on a mug....
