Top 10 Reasons Not to Buy Moose Mugs

Share

clarks-top-tenAs the moose mug season begins to quickly approach this year, I begin to think about the Christmas parties of the past and how much my family enjoys the Holiday Season.

So I decided to put together a countdown top-ten list, David Letterman style that even Clark Griswold would be proud of.

Here are my Top 10 Reasons Not to Buy Moose Mugs this Holiday Season.  If you decide to buy these classic holiday mugs, these ten things could happen to you.

10. Todd and Margo will bring over their parents and 2 teenage sons to your Christmas Eve Party.  They have been living in seclusion since Christmas Eve of 1989 after the S.W.A.T team destroyed their post modern Christmas traditions.

9. You will be enrolled in the Jelly of the Month club.

8. Your boss will like you more and think that you are moving up in society because of owning such a refined, hand crafted piece of moose art.  Due to budget cuts, you will not get a cost of living raise next year because of flaunting your affluence by owning these classic eggnog receptacles.

7. Slurred speech.

6. Every time a microwave starts, you will pee your pants and forget who you are for about half an hour or so.

5. Before Snot’s untimely death in the summer of 1992, he fathered 10 liters of puppies.  He is survived by his great grandson Flem.  Flem is “a chip off the old block” and has been terrorizing garbage cans and depleting the gray squirrel population in North America.  He will come to your house, sneeze in your eggnog and pee on your leg.

4. You will fall down a well, your eyes will go crossed and you will get kicked by a mule.

3. Aunt Bethany will break wind at you Christmas Eve Party and clear out the room, while Uncle Lewis burns down your Christmas tree.

2. You will be driven out in the middle of nowhere and left for dead. Okay maybe that’s a little harsh.

And the top reason not to buy moose mugs this Holiday season…

You could wake up tomorrow with your head sewn to the carpet.

Could any of these things happen to you anyway?  Yes they could, but either way, most of them are not very likely.

So if you decide to buy a pair this Christmas, do so at your own risk.

Glass Mugs VS Acrylic Mugs

Share

If you have made the decision to buy some moose mugs, you are probably wondering if you should buy the glass version or the acrylic version.  Yep, it’s a tough decision, I know.  But if you take a look at the pros and cons for each type, then you will be able to make a decision for yourself of which kind is right for you.

Glass Mugs

Pros:

  1. Exact replicas of the ones in Christmas Vacation
  2. Dishwasher Safe
  3. Look and appear to be expensive.  Very High Quality

Cons:

  1. A lightly weighty
  2. Breakable, like anything else that is glass

Acrylic Mugs

Pros:

  1. Reasonable reproduction of the ones in the movie
  2. Light and easy to handle, High quality
  3. Holds more liquid than the glass model
  4. Great for Children

Cons:

  1. Light weight, with a plastic feel
  2. Not exact replicas

Those are just a few of the things that you should think about before you make your decision.  And remember no matter which ones you choose, your friends will be jealous and wish they had some of their own.

Okay in case you are wondering which mugs are the best to choose from.  Honestly, you just can’t go wrong.  Both items are high quality and will offer the same Christmas cheer.  So its just a matter of preference.

Merry Christmas
