The Big Black Mug page
The tale of the big black mug
In order to understand the big black mug, one must first
know its history.
Around March of 1995 my girlfriend at the time and I went grocery shopping
and I bought a big black mug. It cost me $3.50 and is very large and very
black. It's the size of the mug Mike Myers had in So I Married an Axe
Murderer when he says "Hello, I think I ordered the large
cappucino..." A few days later I went back to the store and the mug's
price had gone up to $4.25, so I think I had gotten a good deal.
Anyhow, the mug is very versatile and I like it a lot. I can cook almost
anything in it, or at least put what I've cooked in the mug. So many
things, in fact, that I decided to make a
list of exactly everything I've consumed from the big black mug. Once
I've put something in the mug for the first time, it goes on the page.
The list floundered for a while and then stopped completely. Why?
Several reasons. Rachel moved, the mug went with her, I was around a lot
but never got lots of chances to eat from the mug. Then we broke up, she
kept the mug, until she moved again at the beginning of September '96, at
which
point I got the mug back back back back and it's my own. Now I live with
the mug and a new sweetie and we both have big black mugs. One is hers
and has "Sun Microsystems" on it, and one is MY OWN MUG. And now I'm
hungry. So let's eat or something.
