the great bison coffee mug fire sale

THE GREAT BISON COFFEE MUG FIRE SALE

My regular article will post at its regular time today. 
*
The Cream Puff Survivalist, a minor blog mostly dedicated to making money off silly Yuppie Scum ( and, need it be said, I approve ), is now offering the official Bison coffee cup. CP contacted me some time ago wanting to throw in with me on this deal. He was doing all the research and legwork getting mugs designed and shipped over from China. Alas, it was a little rich for my blood, being north of a hundred bucks each. The initial price is mostly customs fees and such, and small batches of mugs obviously have much higher shipping costs. The big boys can order ten thousand mugs at a buck each total cost, us small fry need to pay over ten bucks each. So, while the price is steep, the profit is small. I won’t even get a cut of any sales until the initial investment is paid back. Now, while I would trust this individual myself, being ready to send him thirty bucks or whatever on faith ( if I had initially invested at my perceived maximum before I found out how much it was going to be ), be aware that you are on your own buying these things. My only involvement is giving permission to use my blog name. You can order one of these cups through PayPal, so I don’t think anyone is in any danger of being ripped off. But just beware that I’m pointing out an independently sold product. Just as if I’d told you about a small self-published book for sale. I can’t be held responsible for any shenanigans. All that legal crap aside, I think this is a cool coffee mug. If you aren’t a friggin commie, you drink coffee. And what better way to enjoy this delicious hot beverage than by gazing respectfully and reverently at your favorite survivalist writer of all time and his clever yet effective slogan about the stewpot?

Saw yer ugly mug on the internet, BTW, it's a cow!

Why it's a udder shame! Unless "those things" are your many penises!

You want some milk with your coffee?

It's one of those "milk box" dairy cows too! Look at them twig legs!

You should feel insulted at such a cup.

I would have been glad to buy a mug but the moron put a picture of a cow on it.Please tell him a Bison is not a cow! How sad!

Looks more like ELSIE the Bordon Cow.

sorry

Jim, this is Quite Possibly the ugliest coffee cup I've ever seen!
Having said that, I'm buying one. It may mean dough for you (once the costs are covered). Also it's a way of annoying my colleagues at work who refuse to accept the idea of collapse.

It's not very noble but, dammit, I want my "Na Na na NA-A-A na" moment!

Have you people been to my official web site? Ever? That coffee mug graphic is from my web site. I think it is hilarious ( plus, the public domain pictures only had a cow, not a bison ). I think we tried to get an American made mug but they were lopsided since the preschoolers had to get their milk and cookies and lost interest in finishing up properly. Our schools can't even teach slave labor well anymore.
