Thursday 1/7/10 - JDPNYY's Question of the day (#284):



How many Yankee Coffee Mugs do you own?

[Sam18]

Lol muggs

[pleasepassthesoup]

I don't own any coffee mugs.

[BonusCantos]

Zero. I pretty much don't even drink coffee.

[Ram Man]

This one:

[jlw1980]

None.

[theDurk]

One. It's a freebie plastic one--the kind with a lid. It was a reward for customer loyalty kind of thing from somebody or other (Amazon.com maybe?). It has pictures of various uniforms from 1901 to 1998 (the latter year being about when I got it.) Around the bottom it says: "New York Yankees--It's hard to be humble." It is NOT microwave safe (says so on the bottom) and the lid tends to dribble coffee on your shirt. It is therefore my least favorite mug and I give it to family members leaving on long drives who really need the coffee. Because it is kind of ugly and cheap, (plus it dribbles) my family members keep bringing it back. It is that unique item whose utility is increased by being ugly, cheap, and poorly designed. You can't give it away. At least not permanently.

[NYDCYankee]

The fred amount

[penguin4]

I have two plastic Yankee CUPS that I got at games in the late 90's, early 00's, and a couple of Yankee shot glasses, but no mugs to speak of.

[BxBomber44]

None, sadly. Don't even own a cup or anything.

[JL25and3]

The Yankees used to have a Thermal Mug Day, where they'd give out cheap little blue plastic mugs with a team picture and a corporate sponsor logo. If you used them more than a couple of times, coffee would leak in between the two plastic layers and make the whole thing gross. I probably have 8 or 10 of them packed up in a box somewhere.

My friend and I always called that freebie a "Thermal Mug, son."

I also have a more traditional sort of Yankee travel mug. I never use it. (I have a Twins mug, too.)

[fredgmuggs]

One muggs is enough for anyone.

[fredgmuggs]

I think there's a Yankee mug buried in the back of a cabinet somewhere that somebody gave to me as a gift that is never used.

[YankeePride1967]

Zero.

After reading that "Thermal Mug, son" line I went "huh?"... but then the lightbulb went off. oy

[Toaderly]

Two. One holds four cups of coffee, the othe one holds two.

I see you edited your far more detailed but entirely non-responsive post.

[fredgmuggs]

I see you edited your far more detailed but entirely non-responsive post.

It was early. Reading comprehension hadn't taken hold yet.

And I was still in pain over that 'Thermal Mug, son' line. Thermal Mug, son? groan

Thursday 1/7/10 - JDPNYY's Question of the day (#284):



How many Yankee Coffee Mugs do you own?

My wife has about twenty for the nectar, of death!!!

[Bub]

I can only guess. Between work, home, camp, storage and memorabilia there's probably 10 to 20.

[Bozidar]

I'm 99% sure we have none.

we do have this enormous mickey mouse one, it could fit a whole regular sized mug inside of it. I wish that one was a Yankee mug.

[JL25and3]

Putting your two posts together, I conclude that your wife has made at least one visit to New York Yankees International Airport.

As for the pun...you've never heard our bad ones.

I'm just teasing you about that line. I felt dumb because it took me so long to get the joke at first.

Hey, my dad loved to tell termite jokes. I know from bad puns. (So, a termite walks into a bar....)

[CoyoteYankee]

None. I don't drink coffee and the only coffee mugs that I have are the "good" ones for company. I have about a billion Yankees glasses though (the kind you drink from, not the kind you see through). For some reason, in a two year span, half the people I know decided that a good gift for me would be Yankees glasses. I barely have room for them all. I have some Yankees wine glasses and wine bucket too which I love. Oh god, I'm rambling.

Hmmmmm..... Funny you should mention puns today.

[xxltaco]

one...it's a glass mug with metal logo glued on it. pretty cool. it sits on my desk and holds many pens...sharpies, a highlighter...and for some reason, four straws. oh, and an xacto knife.

[Soriambi]

None. Don't drink coffee.

[smr15]

one, now.
I had another , 2 jobs ago, that disappearred when I was packing up.

[allybear]

It has pictures of various uniforms from 1901 to 1998 (the latter year being about when I got it.) Around the bottom it says: "New York Yankees--It's hard to be humble."

I have a similar one except mine is ceramic, may go in the microwave (I've never tried or looked), and it was a gift from a friend of mine who is actually (gasp) a Red Sox fan.

[4bronxbombers]

Hmm....now that you mention it, I don't think I have any. I do drink tea so I should have one. Now I feel gypped.

I do have plenty of Yankee plastic drinking cups from games etc. And I have some Yanks shot glasses too but no tea muggsy.

[Maynerd]

One and one half. I've got one with the interlocking NY, and one from the Subway Series.

[TinoFan84]

I have two at the moment (though I keep asking for a travel mug for Christmas, no one ever gets it for me) ... one "regular" sized in white with blue pinstripes and one larger one in blue with a baseball field outlined in gold (so it's not microwavable).

[Mark19]

8, but I don't drink coffee

[penguin4]

My friend and I always called that freebie a "Thermal Mug, son."

Wow, I literally stared at that for five minutes, then finally when I wrote it out I was like "ohhhh." It probably translates a lot better when you say it. Haha.

[Beyle]

I don't own any Yankee coffee mugs.

[Coney36]

One - a plastic coffee thermos cup from the Yankee Store that I bought about 5 years ago.

[JL25and3]

Definitely should be said out loud.

Sounds like a good use of storage space....:rollseyes:

Geez, get rid of the pieces of crap!

[Trish]

I thought this said, "xxltaco knife." I was sceered.

I have no Yankee mugs, but my husband has one. With a broken handle.

[DEADSOX]

None, I don't drink coffee. I do have 3 Yankees beer mugs though.

[ajra21]

none. i do have yankee thermal mug protector.

[RYMASTER or Ryan_Yankees]

Zero - but now I want one.

[Gringaloca]

Two coffee mugs..one plastic, one ceramic. Rarely used. I wish I had a travel mug type for the morning commute.

One beer mug that I keep in the freezer..it has some liquidy stuff between the inner lining & outer casing that freezes & keeps my Heiney Lites reaaaalllly cold.

I've got a couple of official Pittsburgh Pirates beer mugs like that. Got lucky that it was beer mug night on my one and only visit to Three Rivers Stadium years ago.

[MunsonNY15]

No coffee mugs, but I do have a Yankees thermal cup. That might count so I'll throw it out there. Ya never know.

Whenever Howard Cosell did a game from Pittsburgh, he'd make a point of saying something like, "Here at the confluence of three rivers..."

Which, of course, it wasn't. It was at the confluence of two rivers.

[Octoberbaby]

None, zero, zip, nada.............

[b-ball-lunachick]

No coffee mugs and no cawwfee mugs either.

[yankeeschic12324]

I own 3. One is a travel mug so I don't know if that counts or not.
