It is Jer's line drawing of the crazy squirrel, but it is just stuck on the white mug. No red level background like the cool picture. Let's see how good cafepress' customer service is.Sorry, Jer, my posts have hardly been a ringing advertisement for your stuff (well, cafepress' stuff, but anyway....). I hope readers are entertained and not turned off. The mug arrived today!

Or Suicide Death Squirrel Cult? They're all modifiers, right? Obviously Suicide is modifying Squirrel, but Squirrel modifies cult. Modifying modifyers? What next, dogs and cats living together?If Joshua fit da battle ob Jericho and de walls came tumblin down, why do we describe a circular wall as plural? Isn't it one wall? For that matter why be prejudiced aqainst squares (not keith, but the geometry)? Why is a rectangular set of walls not wall?

It does mean it did not leap out at consumers in any pseudo-ethical fashion. However I had no rosy vision that a ton of the percentage would be yours. Thus I was not informed but savvy. Yeah.That crazed, goggly eyed, squirrel on the side will be the payoff, as I drink coffee, and dare - <b>DARE</b> - anybody to mess with me.

I set the cost at $13.50, still pretty damn expensive for a mug, $1.51 of which I actually get. I’m curious whether you ever saw that number.

Oh, and thanks.

So how much of the $18.50 actually dribbles into your pocket?
