It Always Feels Like Somebody's Watching Me

A few weeks ago, Linda from the fabulously funny blog, 2nd Cup of Coffee
held a blog carnival celebrating...or perhaps just making fun of ugly mugs. Not faces...shame on you. But the mugs of the glass, ceramic, and plastic variety that hold beverages. I wanted to participate...because I love Linda's blog and I want to be fun like her...it's a pipe dream, I know. But I couldn't play along. I didn't own a mug that would qualify. I like my mugs and I'm also an aspiring minimalist, which means that even if I am given an ugly mug as a gift....I'm re-gifting...and probably to the Goodwill.

However, if Linda decides to throw another Ugly Mug contest, I own the winner. Well, actually, X-Factor owns the winner...that's why it sits in our kitchen cabinet and not the donation box in our hall closet.

Allow me to introduce you to BoBo the Creepy Plastic Clown Mug.


I have seen far too many movies with homicidal clowns to not be unnerved by BoBo here. The fact that he does not have arms that could wield a butcher knife should he come to life, does provide me with some comfort...but just a small amount.
