Alright, let’s gab about these here astrology mugs, you know, the ones with all them stars and signs on ’em. I seen ’em at the store the other day, right next to the pickle jars, and I thought, “Well, ain’t that somethin’?”
First off, what in the tarnation are they? Seems like everybody’s got one these days. My niece, she’s got one with a crab on it. Says it’s her “sign,” somethin’ called a “Cancer.” I told her, “Honey, that ain’t nothin’ to be proud of!” But she just giggled and said I wouldn’t understand. And maybe I don’t, but it don’t mean I can’t talk about ‘em, right?
Anyways, these mugs, they got all sorts of pictures on ’em. Lions, bulls, fishes, even some little naked twins! Makes you blush just lookin’ at ’em sometimes. But folks seem to like ’em. They drink their coffee out of ’em, their tea, even their water. I seen a fella puttin’ whiskey in one the other day, said it made the whiskey taste “cosmic.” Lord have mercy, I thought, what will they think of next?
Now, they say these mugs can tell you somethin’ about yourself. Dependin’ on when you were born, you’re one of them signs, see? Like my niece with her crab. Me, I reckon I’m a “Virgo” or somethin’. Got a picture of a lady holdin’ some wheat. Sounds about right, I always liked bread. But I don’t go around flauntin’ it on no mug, no siree.
- They got mugs for every sign, I hear. Aries, Taurus, Gemini, all them fancy names.
- Some of ’em are plain, just the sign and maybe a few stars.
- But others, oh my, they’re all decked out. Gold handles, shiny stars, even little sparkly bits. Makes you wonder if they ain’t tryin’ to distract you from the fact that it’s just a mug, you know?
And the prices! Some of these mugs, they cost more than a good pair of work boots. I seen one for twenty dollars! Twenty dollars for somethin’ you just gonna pour liquid into. Seems like a waste of good money to me, but then again, I ain’t one for fancy things. Give me a good ol’ tin cup any day.
But I guess folks like ’em. They like to feel special, like them stars are watchin’ over ’em. And maybe that ain’t such a bad thing. We all need somethin’ to believe in, I reckon, even if it’s just a picture on a mug. And if it makes your coffee taste better, well, who am I to judge?
They even got them mugs from different years. Like, one might say “1976” on it, and folks who was born then go crazy for it. My neighbor’s boy, he paid a pretty penny for a mug with his birth year. Said it was “vintage” and “collectible.” I told him, “Boy, that just means it’s old!” But he didn’t listen. Kids these days, they got their own way of thinkin’.
These astrology mugs, they’re made outta all sorts of stuff too. Some are thick and heavy, like the ones you get at the diner. Others are thin and delicate, like somethin’ you’d see at a fancy tea party. And then there’s them bone china ones. Bone china! Who’d a thought you could drink out of bones? The world is a strange and wondrous place, that’s for sure.
And they ain’t just for coffee neither. I hear some folks use ‘em for tea, or even just to hold pencils on their desk. One lady I know, she uses hers as a flower pot! Said it was too pretty to just drink out of. I guess that’s one way to look at it. At least she’s gettin’ some use out of it, even if it ain’t holdin’ no coffee.
So, all in all, I reckon these astrology mugs are just another one of them things folks like to have. They ain’t gonna change the world, and they ain’t gonna make your coffee taste like heaven, but they might make you smile a little. And in this old world, a little smile can go a long way. So if you want one of them star mugs, go ahead and get it. Just don’t go spendin’ your rent money on it, you hear?
And remember what I said about that fella puttin’ whiskey in it? Don’t do that. Whiskey belongs in a glass, not no fancy star cup. But you do what you want, I ain’t your mama.
So there you have it, my two cents on these here astrology mugs. Probably more than you wanted to know, but that’s just how I am. Now, if you’ll excuse me, I gotta go make myself a cup of coffee. And no, it ain’t gonna be in no star mug. Just a good ol’ plain cup, like the good Lord intended.
