Dave at the World's Fair is asking ScienceBloggers to show off their coffee mugs. I don't usually have a camera at work, but my signature mug was bought via the Internet, so I snagged the image from the CafePress Store.
It's a "Still Not King" mug, a reference to the famous Very Secret Diary of Aragorn. To the best of my recollection, nobody has recognized this reference and asked about it.
Of course, it's been over a year since I drank tea, thanks to my stomach problems, and I never liked coffee, so at the moment, the mug is holding a couple of pens and a thermometer. But if I were to start drinking tea again, that's what I'd use.

Or maybe not..."
He asks then:
1. Can you show us your coffee mug?
2. Can you…

Can you comment on it? Do you think it reflects on your personality?
Do you have any interesting anecdotes resulting from coffee cup commentary?
Can you try to get others to comment on it?

Heh, I recognized the line immediately.
My office mug has the periodic table on it.
I, too, recognized the line. A friend sent me all the LOTR "secret diaries." I especially enjoyed Legolas.... :)
Then there's the "Once More With Hobbits" site (omwh.com).
Lord of the Rings to the tunes of the "Buffy" musical...
Recognized that right away! I have the "How I detest this life of vile servitude" mug that used to be available from the same shop.
I tossed this out to my class:
How many gains of rice are consumed in China per annum?
sorry - wrong post...should be @ Fermi Questions
I approve.
Current one is the Dilbert Google mug.
