Mug Shots Competition

March into your kitchen immediately, fling open your cupboards and see if you have a mug more hideous than these ones …


(click for maximum hideousity)

If you DO have a mug even more hideous than the ones pictured above, we here at Infomaniac have an assignment for you.

But more about that later.

First, we want to tell you the story behind these mugs.

See these two big poofters? …



They are Tazzy and Piggy: Yorkshire’s Favourite Poofs and veteran Infomaniac readers.

Tazzy and Piggy are responsible for sending these mugs thousands of miles across The Pond to Mistress MJ.

With friends like that …

Anyway, now I think of Tazzy and Piggy every time I brew my cuppa tea and settle in for my nightly viewing of Coronation Street.

Thank you, fellas.

Now back to your assignment, bitches!

Reach into the back of your kitchen cupboard and pull out your most hideous coffee or tea mug.

Photograph your mug and email it to us here at Infomaniac. (Email address in our Blogger Profile.)

We’ll display your MUG SHOTS in a post next week and vote on who has the ugliest mug.

What are you waiting for?

Mug for the camera!

  1. kabuki does not drink coffee thus no one gives kabuki heinous coffee mugs. It's just not the sort of thing to buy oneself. but xl probably does.

  2. XL: Mistress MJ is not in the mood to hear about gold after that Sunday night game that shall remain nameless.

    KABUKI: If you don’t drink coffee, how do you account for that peppy personality of yours?

    Surely you’re not using DOLLS?

  3. I shall do my best Dear Mistress, But you know that Princess only surrounds herself with "Beautiful" things!
    I shall check to see if there is some old Royal Doulton or Noritake in the back of the cupboard...

  5. Wow Mistress...they really loathe you don't they? I'd apologise if I were you, whatever you did, it must have been awful.

    I'm afraid I'll have to pass on this competition. No one hates me that much.

  11. What a lovely pair of boys - almost worth a trip to Yorkshire.
    And lovely taste in mugs as well.

  12. Jeez, I like those mugs! Would be great for coffee and Baileys with Corrie in the morning, and you could have a friend over :-)

    Mistress MJ received your entry and whilst your mugs are not to her taste, they surely cannot be considered ugly.

    Nonetheless, we’ll let the others decide next week.

    MOB: LOL @ Kabuki Zero

    I must admit I tittered at kabuki.

    PIGGY: Oh for fucks sake, I thought we'd never have to set eyes on those bastard monstrosities every again.

    If the postage weren’t so expensive, I’d return to sender.

    ROSES: Wow Mistress...they really loathe you don't they? I'd apologise if I were you, whatever you did, it must have been awful.
    I'm afraid I'll have to pass on this competition. No one hates me that much.


    The fact that Mistress MJ exists is enough reason to be an object of their contempt.

    You have no idea the abuse I’ve put up with over the years from those two.

    MAGO: No way kabuki-san,teehee ...

    Kabuki-SAN?

    No need for formalities here.

    EROS: I, too, am not a coffee drinker, but I'll look in the cupboards to see what lurks there.

    As I recall, you recently purged your closets in an organizing/cleaning spree so I’m not sure you’ll find anything.

    Besides, how will you find time between Olympic events and reporting?

    SAVANNAH: i mainline coffee, but never from an ugly mug, sugar! but i will look in the cabinet and see if there's anything hideous enough to enter.

    Surely one of your children, before they acquired good taste, gave you one of those dreadful “World’s Best Mom” mugs.

    SCARLET: I drink tea from my mug... I will have a rummage in my cupboards..
    Er.. and I like the Corrie mugs...


    The photo doesn’t do their fugliness justice.

    Be careful what you say or I’ll re-gift them.

    I’m getting a clearer picture on how you spend your leisure time.

    KAZ: What a lovely pair of boys - almost worth a trip to Yorkshire.
    And lovely taste in mugs as well.


    Key word “almost”.

    NWTRUNNER: Jeez, I like those mugs! Would be great for coffee and Baileys with Corrie in the morning, and you could have a friend over :-)

    Coffee and Bailey’s?

    Now you’re talkin’!

  14. Considering some of the pics you put up here MJ, I am under no illusions at all as to what you get up to in your spare time, lol.

  15. as long as you play "Mugshots" by Godley & Creme :)

    ReplyDelete
  16. MOB AND DONN: Just send us your mug shots, dammit!

    ReplyDelete
  17. Mistress, those are super hideous, but I think I have something that can top them. Stay tuned.

    ReplyDelete
  18. What a ghastly looking pair
    and the mugs are not very nice iether :-)

    ReplyDelete
  19. No Gail? Phew! I bet that was a relief, having her face on a mug would curdle the milk.

    ReplyDelete
  20. Mugs?

    I drink my tea from the finest porcelain china tea cups known to humanity.

    The chipped tooth mug I reserve for the finest 18 year old malt whisky known to humanity.

  21. I don't have any as I usually drink out of women's slippers.

  22. Kabuki is never further than arm's reach from a 32oz tumbler of iced tea. Day or nite, winter or summer. It is considered a mark of honor to have kabuki leave a 32-oz plastic 'go cup' at your residence. I have dispensed hundreds. No dolls for kabuki. kabuki is caffeine's bitch.
