My wife used to travel a LOT for work. She collected refrigerator magnets. Same general rules as yours...but she also bought almost all of them at the airport as they have the best ones. The cheesier the better as well.  [thumbsup]

Amazing to look back and see all the places she has been for work.

I like the pantone mug!

I have several from when I did sysadmin work. People would come to my desk to helicopter around me when stuff broke (one of the worst aspects of the job). They didn't contribute, they just hovered and drank coffee. Often they'd leave for a while and set their cup on my desk. Too often, it stayed there overnight. After 3 business days, I washed it and took it home. Some are funny, most are lame. I tossed some to the thrift shop and kept a few weird ones. All are reminders that I made the right decision when I quit that job.

Most of MY mugs (that I purchased) are 24oz travel mugs from Tim Hortons.

Not intentionally.  My clients seem to give me coffee mugs or baseball caps.  The caps I can understand as I am in the outdoor rec business.  I'm covered up in both.....
996 forks, BoomTubes, frame sliders, CRG bar-end mirrors, vizitech integrated tail light, rizoma front turn signals, rizoma grips, cycle cat multistrada clip ons, pantah belt covers - more to come

Barbara and I have a haphazard collection of at least 50. Some are places- Moscow, Seattle, Calgary. Some are logo- Yankees, WNYC. Have a Route 66 mug, and a mug with B's granddaughter on it. No rhyme or reason- we just buy them when we get the urge.

Mugs are cooler than cups and saucers.
Nobody said that I did. Everyone says that I would.

I've known some places that have had pretty shitty coffee...

It's all in the grind, Sizemore. Can't be too fine, can't be too coarse. This, my friend, is a science. I mean you're looking at the guy that believed all the commercials. You know, about the "be all you can be." I made coffee through Desert Storm. I made coffee through Panama while everyone else got to fight, got to be a Ranger.

How about this
