You'll Drink Corporate America's Coffee, But Only Out of a Glowing Pirate Mug
Posted by Mark Wilson at 1:45 AM on August 27, 2008
The boardroom is tense. Your boss is negotiating with their boss over the Big Merger. Accountants discuss endless piles of financial statements. Somewhere a middle manager is getting grilled over an $800 dinner spotted in the audit. There are tears in his eyes and sweat on his brow. And there you are, feet up on the desk with an LED pirate mug in hand. You and your stock options have nothing to worry about because you're quitting/getting fired anyway. Good thing that mug only cost you US$4. [The Big Pirate via Nerd Approved]

@nutbastard: I have seen that movie, and while I can say that they had authentic looking hats, they fucked like French sissies. If you are going to make a pirate porn, then make some pirate porn. Don't just dress everyone up like pirates and make regular porn and call it pirate porn. Get the actors drunk, then find some chicks that think they are in a commercial for Fabric Softener and let the fun begin.

Cute mug, but I cant do plastic, it has to be ceramic since plastic would melt on the dorky mug-heater that I keep on my desk. (Its also good for a hand warmer in the bitter cold weather.)

Oh and for anyone who hasn't seen the movie Pirates (XXX) theres nothing like some girl-girl action while a bunch of scurvy bastards stand around chiming in with "Arr!" every 6 seconds.

@nutbastard: Yarrgh! That line ne'er fails to get a chuckle in th' officers' galley. Th' crew also be fond o' sayin' "how would ye like to go below decks and clean out me bilge"?
Sometimes, I be feelin' sorry fer the cabin boy. That's when I be takin' a swig o' grog an' 'member that me ship floats on salt pork, grog, and buggery.

LEDs, LEDs, everywhere,
their purpose neither here nor there
lets put some on so people stare
install on what?
who gives a care?
they're fairly priced square micro-flares,
that rarely break or need repair,
so dare i put them on a chair?
on my face and in my hair?
sure, why not, i like the stares
of big friendly guys that we call 'bears'

Pirates don't drink out of mugs. Pirates drink straight from the bottle. This mug would be good for a six year old to drink kool-aid out of. Give me a clay jug full of rum.

@92BuickLeSabre: I think the pirate mug could totally kick the Ninja mug's ass.

It's plastic, will it handle my coffee? I so could have used this when I worked at 7-11 and could drink whatever I wanted for free as long as it was in a mug. Nothing beat kicking back in the pile of Sunday newspapers on a summer night at 2am w/some vodka mixed in with the strawberry 7-11 "smoothie". God I miss that job.

Yarrgh! This be too gaudy e'en fer a salty sea dog like me-self. That not be a good thing considerin' that think bandanas and 18th Century naval officer overcoats be goin' well t'gether. This mug not be havin' no place in me galley.
Not e'en suitable fer bailin' out th' bilge.

I wouldn't mind me a glowing Pirate mug. It'd be better if it had Pirate Bay's endorsement on it or something.
Arggh!

@Killjoy: Actually, give "Republic of Pirates" a read. The difference between the British Navy and privateers was that privateers ran their ships like democracies.
OMG! Ponies!

@OMG! Ponies!: So *that's* the difference between pirates and Her Royal Majesty's Navy: the outlaws substitute the carrot for the stick, or in this case salt pork for the lash.

Little does anyone know, but its the Captain Morgan's Pirate on the mug, and he has a way of making the boardroom a little more tolerable.
