I almost didn’t buy this mug. It was a toss up between cowboy here and a mug in the shape of Zoltan from the movie Big. In the end, the boots won out. I don’t even know how there was a contest in the first place but what can I say, I was younger and dumber.
And we’re still together after all these years.
The hat got cracked the day after I bought it when my friend Jeff drunkenly tried
to wear it. We don’t talk much now-a-days. The hat itself has caused me some measure of grief in the past. Last year it went missing for several months leading me to suspect coworkers to petty-theft. Luckily Erik found it much later perched high up on a shelf that I, as a shorter individual, was unable to access.
Here’s a drawing I made during the time of the hat’s absence:
It was a trying time needless to say. I don’t typically get this attached to beverage containers, but I think it’s plain to see that this particular vessel has that special something that other mugs lack. Namely, legs.

Look at the legs on that baby! They don’t make’m like that anymore. I think I was 8 the year of that and I definitely would’ve gotten it for the legs.

It means a lot to me that you support my mug choices Julie.

Us legged mug lovers have gotta stick together. This is a thumbs up situation, but you can’t really see that.

I don’t support this, sure it’s a fine mug. But anything Big related beats anything else not related to Big.

I would typically be with you on this one Ben but you already know where my loyalties lay. Go play with your gigantic piano now.
