Thoughts on the word mug

Thoughts on the word MUG
As I was falling asleep the other night I began to consider the word mug. A strange word as if you really think about it, it can only be defined by context, yet it can exist in so many contexts to begin with. There is the quantity that can be held in a mug, a person who is gullible and easy to take advantage of, part of the human face (`kisser' and `smiler' and `mug' are informal terms for `face' and `phiz' is British). It is a large cup with handle and usually cylindrical in shape. As an act, vis, to rob at gunpoint or with the threat of violence or to make faces at a camera. It can also be a term of endearment.
Consider this:
A mug with a mug mugged me. He hit me in the mug as he mugged for the security cameras, but the cop who saw it knew the mugs mug.
And there you have it, 7 mugs and we are still upright.
Make that 8.


Till next time,
Be mindful and awake

A Star Trek Testing Type Thingy

A long time ago I was a player on the Original Star Trek Moo. I played a Tal Shiar Officer. It was interesting since you had to advance through the ranks by testing or direct promotion. Once you can get not 1 but 2 Starfleet Admirals to defect as an act of conscience, you have a tendency to move up rather quick *wink wink* Some of the tests notes about the Romulans (or more correctly the Rhiannsu) are not exactly right, but oh well.
Romulan
You scored 46 % Aggressivness, 53 % Technology, and 33 % Social Enlightenment!
Homeworld: Romulus

Distantly related to the Vulcans, the Romulan people are a
secretive and arrogant race. They have advanced technology and usually
claim to have invented every technological breakthrough before any
other culture. Romulans rarely attack first, preferring instead for
someone else to make the first move. Once attacked, however, they make
a formidable enemy. Although a moral people, Romulans still believe in
abandoning genetically or physically inferior infants. Most Romulans
also greatly fear the Tal Shiar, the Romulan's own military service -
most have horror stories about their treatment at the hands of this
secret service. As a Romulan, you can be quite ruthless and difficult
to get to know. You have a definite sense of right and wrong, which can
make you quite small-minded and resistant to other opinions. You
greatly value knowledge - not so much for its own sake, but for the
power it gives you. You are a great believer of knowledge equaling
power and you're not above blackmailing people to get your own way, if
necessary. Your one saving grace is that you're not a naturally
aggressive person and you do not needlessly put yourself in dangerous
situations - you're too smart for that. Even though you would make a
fierce opponent, it would take a lot for someone to make you an enemy.
This also makes you extremely dangerous, as many tend to underestimate
your ability. <
