The only thing more fun than a stranger’s hair in your coffee is a Band-Aid in your salad. But that doesn’t happen so much now that they use gloves at Subway.

I wonder if they’ll make a special order for me with shit glued on the cup instead of hair.
August 14, 2011 at 4:37 pm
Real artist’s shit, of course. Nothing but the best.
August 14, 2011 at 5:24 pm
I wonder if she can do chili bowls.
KABOOM.
August 15, 2011 at 12:59 pm
I cannot read the word “kaboom” without hearing Billy Mays.
August 18, 2011 at 4:19 pm
Shit, did you say? You may fancy this brilliant work of art by yet another Italian artist, Piero Manzoni. All together he created 90 of these small cans in May of 1961. I’ll warn you, though, these can run a bit expensive. Can #19 sold back in February 2007 for $80,000…
August 20, 2011 at 7:08 am
I saw these on exhibit at the Guggenheim in 1996! What a blast from the past…
August 14, 2011 at 5:29 pm
I’d buy it if it comes with a scomb.
August 14, 2011 at 7:10 pm
See, I want the hair, but they not head hair. That’s right, I want pubes with my coffee. It’s really the only way to wake me up in the morning.
August 14, 2011 at 8:12 pm
Clarence Thomas, is that you?
August 14, 2011 at 4:34 pm
I’ll have to admit to being very new to Regretsy, so forgive me for this, but:
WHAT, THE, FUCK? There is hair in that cup. Why would anyone want a cup with the artist’s hair? I don’t get it… I just don’t get it!
Post-post modernism peaked with Merda d’artista back in 1961.
Oh my days.
August 14, 2011 at 4:38 pm
Surrealism never was my cup of hair anyhow.
August 14, 2011 at 7:10 pm
If you looked at the rest of the bizarre mugs in that shop, you wouldn’t be asking that question. This is clearly an artist who doesn’t give a crap if anyone can actually USE her cups.
August 14, 2011 at 8:07 pm
I completely agree. I am totally amazed on what people try to sell on Etsy.
August 14, 2011 at 8:46 pm
Its awesome to see Sam here but did we scare off Dawg?
August 14, 2011 at 9:13 pm
It would be much better though if it were a goatse mug with hair on it. THAT wouldn’t surprise you, would it?
August 14, 2011 at 9:51 pm
New to Regretsy?
August 14, 2011 at 4:35 pm
Why?? That’s all I want to know…
August 14, 2011 at 4:35 pm
I actually feel like I need to know…

I thumbs you for not throwing up a little in your mouth. Going all the way is my recommendation.
Usually if there is hair swallowing involved I at least gag, and then throw up on my shoes. Or bare toes given the situation.
August 14, 2011 at 9:30 pm
NanaB, have you considered the virtues of throwing up on someone elses shoes and/or toes? There is the bonus of you not having to clean up the mess. It is especially helpful if you are in the presence of someone you dislike.
*considers carefully what she just said…hides her feet*
August 14, 2011 at 4:55 pm
I’ve been wondering the same freaking thing. WHY??!!!! I just don’t get it. It must be some form of conceptual art (still trying to figure out the message, if there is one), because no one in their right (or left) mind would drink from that mutha focker!
August 14, 2011 at 5:00 pm
It’s not art, it’s a disguise!
How else are we going to spy in Starbucks?
August 14, 2011 at 7:12 pm
I know, it isn’t even machine washable. If you drank from it you’d have to wash it by hand! If I can’t throw it in my dishwasher I don’t want it.
August 14, 2011 at 7:44 pm
Plus, you should probably shampoo and condition the hair, and that’s just a pain in and of itself. And I’ll bet her ends are split.
August 14, 2011 at 4:35 pm
I never thought I’d say this, but I think I’d rather drink out of the brass codpiece…
August 14, 2011 at 4:38 pm
So, in either case, it’s not hair that bothers you?
August 14, 2011 at 4:41 pm
This cup could probably also have that use as well. Upcycle it and just add an elastic.
August 14, 2011 at 5:32 pm
Instant merkin?
August 14, 2011 at 4:35 pm
Not machine washable, no, but your local salon could use the extra work.
August 14, 2011 at 4:52 pm
Obvioulsy not for use with a fine brazillian blend.
August 15, 2011 at 7:03 am
THAT was inspired and inspiring
August 14, 2011 at 4:36 pm
Jesus. My gramma always told me coffee would put hair on my chest. Maybe I misheard her.
August 14, 2011 at 4:36 pm
How am I going to tell it apart from all my other coffee cups that have started growing hair?
August 14, 2011 at 7:45 pm
The difference is that this one is REAL ARTIST’S HAIR. She made it in her artistic ability.
August 14, 2011 at 4:36 pm
Miracle of miracles, nobody’s bought it yet.
August 14, 2011 at 4:37 pm
It states “with real artist’s hair,” but doesn’t specify which artist’s hair. I’m glad she doesn’t say it’s HER hair, because in this case “artist” is up for intepretation. But, I’d definitely pay $50 for van Gogh’s hair. From his right side.

I saw a girl the other day with a 10-inch afro and hot pants that practically showed her religion and I thought she’d stepped right out of the 1970s, so I’m not falling for “60s afro bush hair” without some serious documentation!
August 14, 2011 at 5:49 pm
The pants religion thing, I thought that only worked for men. I mean, THINK about it…
August 14, 2011 at 7:21 pm
@Wavewench, you’ve never heard of the First Holy Church of the Pierced and Bedazzled Labia? No? Maybe it’s just an East Coast thing.
August 15, 2011 at 2:21 pm
Praise be to cooch.
August 14, 2011 at 4:46 pm
What if it’s van Gogh’s ear hair? From the right side? Priceless, no?
August 14, 2011 at 5:05 pm
It was his left that was chopped off (some say it was “only” the lower portion of his lobe), but…ear hair from his much-ignored right ear WOULD be pricless!
August 14, 2011 at 5:15 pm
His self-portrait shows it was his right ear. Or is that a mirror image?
August 14, 2011 at 5:36 pm
I had to look it up because I thought I’d heard (no pun) it was his left ear, although the portrait show it as his right ear. It’s a mirror image.
August 14, 2011 at 6:22 pm
GUESS WHAT I FOUND HIS MISSING EAR!
(too soon?)
August 14, 2011 at 6:37 pm
@Steampunk Octopus: No–the timing is perfect! (And it’s probably bluer than our own Helliphant’s.)
August 15, 2011 at 8:22 am
@Steampunk Octopus: Here it is the next day, and your post still makes me laugh out loud!
August 14, 2011 at 5:20 pm
Well, well, well . . . looks like you’re in luck. She has a hairy ear mug too!
August 14, 2011 at 6:13 pm
Call Orkin! It’s an earwig!
August 14, 2011 at 8:18 pm
I actually like the ear handle. If she’d ditch the hair that might be a sellable item.
August 15, 2011 at 2:23 pm
In case you would like to lovingly brush your cup’s hair behind it’s ear?
August 14, 2011 at 5:08 pm
Maybe we should demand of the artist, “show us you’re art hair”
August 14, 2011 at 4:37 pm
I’m a long time lurker. Had to register tonight just to reply to this post because it truly is so revolting. I can only imagine how horrified a guest would be if you served them coffee in this mug.
August 14, 2011 at 9:31 pm
Basically, you have overstayed your welcome when I pull out the hair mugs and the barbed wire toilet seat cover*.
*See comments section of pot leaf toilet seat cover.

Who needs to leave a pineapple at the foot of the bed? This would work just as well.
August 14, 2011 at 10:06 pm
Back when she was still inviting herself, this would have been great to serve my mother’s coffee.
August 14, 2011 at 4:37 pm
“We’ve replaced their coffee with gag-inducing hair balls. Let’s see if they notice…”
Oh, Taster’s Choice. For once, you’re the less-disgusting option.
August 14, 2011 at 6:36 pm
It was “dark, sparkling Folger’s crystals.” I’m really disappointed there’s no glitter in the hair.
August 15, 2011 at 8:53 am
My apologies. I was still in diapers when those commercials were on. Of course, I was in diapers until I was 12, so maybe that’s not saying much.
August 14, 2011 at 4:38 pm
I’d consider buying it as a gag gift, if only the hair were in the form of a moustache. Preferably of the “righteous 70′s porn” style.
August 14, 2011 at 5:04 pm
She sold one with a Salvador Dali mustache
http://www.etsy.com/transaction/43754288
August 14, 2011 at 11:08 pm
“Just right for Italian coffee lovers”
Who does she think Salvador Dali is?
August 15, 2011 at 7:08 am
She lives and works in Italy, so that statement was more an inward channeling thing rather than about Dali
August 15, 2011 at 7:07 am
Actually, that one’s not too bad for an “on the shelf, but never use it” piece
August 14, 2011 at 5:11 pm
August 14, 2011 at 9:43 pm
And here I was thinking that this was the next evolutionary step of the mustache craze.

The band aid in the Subway salad sounds frighteningly like something experienced… am I wrong?
(please tell me I’m wrong)
August 14, 2011 at 4:45 pm
My partner had a disposable rubber glove in his chicken burger once.
August 14, 2011 at 5:07 pm
Are we still talking about Subway? After last week’s revelation of April’s food poisoning and one poster’s former employment (and gory details), I gave away my sandwich card. I keep telling myself that maybe I will NOT be lucky and miss out on fp if I go just one last time.
August 14, 2011 at 7:33 pm
Suddenly I become grateful I missed the post from the former employee. I can still continue to eat Subway in blissful ignorance.
August 14, 2011 at 7:47 pm
@Default, maybe you’ll be lucky! Just don’t plan to be away from home for too long after you eat at Subway.
August 15, 2011 at 8:59 am
Default, just make sure you bring your flask with you and have yourself a generous helping with every meal.
August 14, 2011 at 4:40 pm
What a terrible work, this is simply preposterous. Now if she covered that mug in glitter and toenail clippings, then, THEN! Art.
…And yet I still wouldn’t pay 50 bucks.
August 14, 2011 at 5:17 pm
swarovski crystals are the new glitter
August 14, 2011 at 7:34 pm
I grind Swarovski crystals into dust and use that as glitter. That’s classy glitter, right there.
August 14, 2011 at 9:18 pm
I grind them into dust and snort them like crack off of my revolving mirror-top table.
August 15, 2011 at 2:32 pm
High quality bad-assery right there.
August 14, 2011 at 4:41 pm
“not machine washable”
That is good to know. I was wondering if I was supposed to wash it in the shower or throw it in the dishwasher.
I’ll be out in the garage gluing the dogs butt hair to a plastic spork if you need me.
August 14, 2011 at 5:17 pm
before or after his anal glands have been emptied?
August 14, 2011 at 8:57 pm
If you buy the spork, I’ll let you decide the size of smell.

Also in this store:
“This is a one of a kind Coffee Cup with a hole in the bottom so it is useless if you want to drink out of it.
Is it the concept not the coffee cup that you are buying here.”
ORLY?
August 14, 2011 at 4:50 pm
Now that you’ve told me the concept, silly artist, I’m totally going to steal it and tell it to the hipsters at the pretentious coffee shop I usually pass on the way to work.
A related question: Has there been a spike in philosophy majors recently?
August 14, 2011 at 5:09 pm
I think we need to put a spike through philosphy majors. It’s cruel, but in the long run, kind.
August 15, 2011 at 8:57 am
I was raised by not one, but two philosophy majors. Somehow, “moral relativity” never got me off the hook for anything though.
August 15, 2011 at 8:35 pm
I’m a philosophy minor. Pleeeease don’t spike me! I promise I’ll stop poking holes in all your coffee cups.
August 14, 2011 at 6:06 pm
The best part of that listing is this little gem:
“The idea is that people are often drawn by life and no matter what they do to keep their things together, life seems to fall apart as they lose things. Mostly refferred to people who are divorcing… wives take everything away from you and you are left with nothing.”
Wow, um, bitter much?
http://www.etsy.com/listing/45739901/there-is-a-hole-in-my-coffee-cup
August 14, 2011 at 4:45 pm
Now you too can drink from the furry cup…
(google it)

You can’t make me.

NO! I WILL NOT FALL FOR THAT AGAIN! Blue waffles indeed…
August 14, 2011 at 6:21 pm
i hear you. i learned my lesson after tub girl. it just sounds all so innocent. blue waffles, tub girl and such. then BAM! you are trying to jump and turn off your monitor before the kids see. or before you can finish seeing it for that matter. : )
I have learned much for internet comments. some things i did not want to know.
August 14, 2011 at 4:45 pm
What. The. Fuck. ? I do not think ‘art’ means what you think it means.
August 14, 2011 at 4:45 pm
And this must be the artist’s coffee cup at home…
August 14, 2011 at 4:53 pm
If they loved their hair so much, they wouldn’t have hacked off a chunk to glue onto a generic coffee cup!
August 15, 2011 at 7:12 am
They love their hair so much, they need to share it with others…for $30
August 14, 2011 at 4:46 pm
I’ll take a half-caf skinny latte with dandruff, soymilk, extensions, and an almond biscotti, hold the hairspray.
August 14, 2011 at 4:46 pm
All we have left to do is pray that this is weave hair. Third hand hair coffee mug. Espresso anyone?
August 14, 2011 at 4:47 pm
Finally! A coffee cup with REAL hair. I get tired of all those other so called Etsy artists trying to sell me coffee cups with fuckin fake hair glued to them.
August 14, 2011 at 4:54 pm
Authenticity is essential.
August 14, 2011 at 4:47 pm
Waiter, there’s a hair in my….what? Oh it’s art? Never mind, then.
August 14, 2011 at 5:15 pm
“Oh, garçon, GAR-ÇON! I specifically asked for an ASH Blond Frosted-Tip Permed Hair cup with my coffee! I swear, the service here has really declined since Vidal sold the place!”
August 14, 2011 at 7:29 pm
I want my mocha to come with a mohawk.
August 14, 2011 at 4:48 pm
But wait! For $10 less we can get it with hair and an ear….

August 14, 2011 at 4:49 pm
well the coffee companies are going to get a stern letter for this!
August 14, 2011 at 4:50 pm
I prefer my coffee to be a bit more Brazilian than this.
August 14, 2011 at 4:51 pm
Is not much unlike “a tampon in a teacup”.
*wonders if anyone will get the reference.
August 14, 2011 at 4:58 pm
It’s something I feel super-strongly about.
August 14, 2011 at 5:04 pm
“Art School Confidential” is almost required reading by the time you hit junior year of art school, when you start looking around at your own and other people’s work and say, “Oh! I get it…this is all bullshit.”
The part about the hairy models and their “terrifying, poodle-haired boyfriends” is the one that resonated with me the most. Yea GOD, painting class was a freakshow.
August 14, 2011 at 4:52 pm
lets see yard sale cups+ barber shop clippings = $$$$$$$
August 14, 2011 at 4:55 pm
Now that I’ve got over the hair, the misspelling of espresso is really bothering me.
August 14, 2011 at 4:56 pm
Dang it, you beat me to it by what, a second? GMTA, I guess.
August 14, 2011 at 6:57 pm
I thought it was a derp for a minute because of the misspelling, but there is so much more to this one.
August 14, 2011 at 4:55 pm
As an editor AND a half-Italian, I am not bothered NEARLY as much by the hair as I am by the “expresso.”
August 14, 2011 at 4:59 pm
As a coffee snob, that made me cringe
August 14, 2011 at 5:15 pm
Wait . . . WAIT. IT’S FROM ITALY????
August 14, 2011 at 4:56 pm
This mug was so gorgeous, I was inspired to make my own.
Now, I didn’t use my own hair, because that would already seem completely insane, so I just used my dog’s. She has mange, so it was just falling right off, anyway. UPCYCLING!
August 14, 2011 at 5:20 pm
Item Name: Hair of the Dog
Description: “I looked at Mrs. Kerfuffle and saw the wisps of hair from her mange floating off whenever she shook with fever and I was taken back to the hills of Rome, sitting there with Alfredo, sharing a cup of espresso, reminiscing about all the times of our lives we wasted drinking hairless espresso. We wept. I hope this cup does not make you weep, unless it with tears of poignancy as you, too, think back on the times you wasted drinking coffee out of hairless cups, perhaps with your long-departed hairless (due to the mange) Golden Retriever.”
August 14, 2011 at 4:57 pm
Espresso. ES-PRESS-OH. ESPRESSO.
August 14, 2011 at 7:33 pm
Except here:
And she was made in heaven
Heaven’s in the world
Is this just expresso love
You know I’m crazy for the girl
August 15, 2011 at 12:32 am
…Somebody embroidered the doily.
Somebody waters the plant,
or oils it, maybe. Somebody
arranges the rows of hairy cups
so that they softly say:
expresso—so—so—so
to high-strung cupcakes.
Somebody loves us all.
August 14, 2011 at 5:03 pm
The direct result of the Artist pulling her hair out because she couldn’t think of an Art piece to create.

August 14, 2011 at 5:45 pm
Well, sure. But that’s chinese gazelle fur. And it totally covers the cup, saucer AND spoon. PLUS she called it art and entered it in exhibitions instead of trying to sell it on the internet for $50 with no real explanation. It’s still an idea that came from the effects of youth and being entirely too high.
August 14, 2011 at 5:06 pm
One of my cats only horks up hairballs when I’m having my morning coffee (“The best part of waking up …”), and yet I never thought to marry those concepts into a synergy of disgustingness. And I went to art school, too.
August 14, 2011 at 5:21 pm
Bet you’re thinking about asking for a refund from that “art school,” now.
August 14, 2011 at 5:08 pm
uh. We need this… why?
August 14, 2011 at 5:10 pm
I’m thinking (hoping) the ‘expresso’ is a cutesy pie word play on artistic self expression… s/he does claim to be from Italy.
August 14, 2011 at 5:17 pm
It’s too common a mistake to make a play on words. Just makes her sound like an idiot.
August 14, 2011 at 5:12 pm
WHAT.

This is my new alias. I can’t help it. It’s the worst thing I’ve ever seen and I’m trained in contemporary studio art so I’ve seen some SHIZZLE.
August 14, 2011 at 5:31 pm
the only way to improve this would be if the hair could be removable and you could wear it as a brooch or pendant, that would really rock!
or a FASCINATOR!!
please someone clever make a ‘shopped pic!!!
August 14, 2011 at 6:44 pm
Better yet…this goes with it.
August 14, 2011 at 5:15 pm
I have better places to put hair on, thank you very much.
August 14, 2011 at 5:22 pm
Is that from the Donny Osmond line? Maybe it’s the whiskers that are throwing me off.
August 14, 2011 at 5:16 pm
I think I understand the story behind these shenanigans. She spelled espresso wrong in every Etsy listing so her husband cut off an awkward amount of her hair in her sleep to teach her a lesson. Unfortunately all she did was use it to create this unsanitary piece as well as continue to misspell espresso.
Fucking artists.
August 14, 2011 at 5:42 pm
See, the thing is, I could almost get this if she had referenced Oppenhiem as an inspiration. Or even the conversation she had with Picasso. “You can put fur on anything. You could put fur on this teacup”:
For her next piece, do you think she’ll silkscreen images of Marilyn Monroe on the sides of her cup?
August 14, 2011 at 5:47 pm
I agree. The reference would have been brilliant.
August 14, 2011 at 5:49 pm
Accidentally downthumbed, sorry.
If she’s anywhere near smart, she’ll silkscreen the words “Marilyn Monroe” creating an image of Elvis on the side of a cup.
August 14, 2011 at 5:47 pm
How do you spell the sound that’s made when coughing up a hairball? Because that’s how I feel about this.

Bill the Cat says “ACK!” I’ve always thought it was an accurate approximation.
August 14, 2011 at 7:17 pm
Whenever a presidential election looms (and glooms), I always think of Pat Paulsen and Bill the Cat. But mostly Pat Paulsen, because I watched the Smothers Brothers show a long time before I met Opus & Co.
August 14, 2011 at 11:13 pm
So does Cathy
August 15, 2011 at 12:35 am
hurk. hurk. hurk. glorrrkh.
(My brother and I were trained from an early age to grab any cat making that sound and dash it over to a cleanable surface. I still have that reflex, so it’s good our current cat isn’t a barfy one.)
August 15, 2011 at 9:00 am
I dash to put something under the nose of said cat. Our long-haired cat has a particularly long warm-up time.

There is a person on Etsy selling a single gray hair? For $1?
That is…um….wow. Just…wow.
People. They never fail to surprise me.
August 14, 2011 at 10:44 pm
Yes, that is THE BEST ONE. Inexplicable.
August 14, 2011 at 11:50 pm
I know…hard to resist.
I’d have to wait for years to get my own!
August 15, 2011 at 2:10 am
I found my first greys at twenty, which was late for my mom’s side of the family. And I have really thick hair. To think of the money I could’ve made all these years.
August 15, 2011 at 2:41 pm
I’m skipping grey and going to white – think I could get $1.50 for the ones I have coming in by my ear?

Why don’t people see that their simulated bacon crafts almost always look like feminine hygiene products? I remember a bacon costume DIY that made the rounds a while ago, looked like an enormo-maxi pad.
And doing it out of hair just amps up the squick.

Can they glue it on a head band? that would be totally hipster to wear.

I really feel like this should be combined with the goatse mugs…
August 14, 2011 at 6:02 pm
Yeah, well, I know a guy who buys these by the TRUCKLOAD.
August 14, 2011 at 6:21 pm
Some of the cups in that shop are pretty sweet. I’d use the hell out of those “bitten mugs.” But the ones with hair on them…KEK!!!
KEK!!
KEK!!

*and make that beat … not enough coffee in that cup!
August 14, 2011 at 6:24 pm
normally, i find ridiculous things like this absolutely hilarious… but this just leaves me slightly nauseas. i mean, really? ewwwww.
August 14, 2011 at 6:30 pm
I can’t imagine buying it: it would clash with my placenta saucers.
August 14, 2011 at 6:37 pm
If I was a skilled voodoo practitioner, I’d buy that mug to do some magic and keep the artist from leaving their hair around..
August 14, 2011 at 7:00 pm
Aw come on guys, learn to think outside of the box. The hair is meant to hover over your coffee and keep it warm longer! It’s practical! It’s art! It’s…
oh fuck it, I dont even like coffee.
August 14, 2011 at 7:28 pm
That’s a hairball idea.
August 14, 2011 at 8:03 pm
They use gloves at your local Subway?

The one she sells w/ the hole in the bottom. The “concept” mug
This is a one of a kind Coffee Cup with a hole in the bottom so it is useless if you want to drink out of it.
Is it the concept not the coffee cup that you are buying here.
The idea is that people are often drawn by life and no matter what they do to keep their things together, life seems to fall apart as they lose things. Mostly refferred to people who are divorcing… wives take everything away from you and you are left with nothing.
So awesome. I want to buy one for every divorced guy I know.
August 14, 2011 at 9:33 pm
You’re really conceptualizing way too much here.
August 15, 2011 at 7:20 am
“Is it the concept, not the coffee cup…”
I’m not sure…is it?
August 15, 2011 at 8:27 am
It’s the “concept” of creating a totally useless piece of crap and selling it on Etsy.
August 15, 2011 at 8:35 am
you missed the point
August 15, 2011 at 1:24 pm
Wait a second. Will I actually get the cup?
August 16, 2011 at 4:55 am
No, she’s just selling a cup with hair on it. No meaning behind it, she’s just fucking nuts.
August 14, 2011 at 9:40 pm
Looks kinda like a RealDoll’s junk.
August 14, 2011 at 10:14 pm
I want one with a handle shaped like a butt plug. With a vulva on the bottom of the cup
August 14, 2011 at 10:15 pm
She’d probably get more sales if she called it the New Dr. Who cup, and then did a whole series of Dr. cups.

Does this bitch really think that “espresso” is spelled with an x?
August 16, 2011 at 12:06 pm
SO GLAD SOMEONE MENTIONED THIS. I hate to be a bitter barista, but when someone comes in and orders “expresso” I always decaf that asshole.
August 15, 2011 at 7:21 am
I just signed up here, around the time of the Subway debacle, and because of some supernatural suggestive powers of fuckery, I have been worshipping porcelain for the last few days (curse you, HK…you want me to THINK it was that suspicious-tasting shiitake mushroom, I know, you fat jealous loser-y bitch…)
And now THIS. Now I can’t even have a nice cuppa tea without feeling phantom real artist hair tickling my nose and causing a peristaltic chain reaction. And I’m one of those people that watches Bones during dinner, too.
August 15, 2011 at 8:04 am
I think this is pure “regretsy bait” — you know, created just to end up here and drive more traffic to her nutty shop.
August 15, 2011 at 9:23 am
Between this and the ‘Brass Balls’ post earlier I’m convinced that I could make my fortune selling 2 brass ball bearings in a mason jar on Etsy. This desk job shit is for suckers.

Last time I ate out I found not one, not two, not three, but four effing hairs in my salad. I was so hungry that I just picked them out and ate it anyway. I feel I’d do the same with this cup if I were thirsty enough.
August 16, 2011 at 4:51 am
I think when I first saw this posted here I internally raged at “expresso”. I’m doing it again.
August 16, 2011 at 1:52 pm
*cries*
August 17, 2011 at 1:49 pm
Why does my coffee cup have a flock of seagulls hairdo?
August 24, 2011 at 3:47 pm
loving the photos on this post!
