readership in enjoy the moment has gone down the shitter lately so the editorial board (me and the ghost of ruby) called an emergency meeting and ruby reminded me that every successful enterprise needs a good gimmick so it is with great pleasure that i announce the 12 days of jugs. yesterday i went to an antique shop to buy one royal doulton character jug and before i knew it the sly son of bitch had sold me 12 bloody jugs. regular readers know that i've been buying these things for a while now and have had a few adventures with ebay so i jumped at the chance to buy some in person and avoid the hassles of shipping fragile items. but i sure as hell didn't plan on buying 12.
on the 12th day i will unveil the jug of my dreams. over the next few decades i'll be having many important conversations with this jug. there is an incredibly valuable prize for anyone able to guess the identity of the illustrious 12th jug! (one guess per person)
without further adieu here is number 1. it's the only small jug i purchased and upon reflection i'm regretting not buying more small jugs and fewer large jugs. the large sons of bitches take up more space and space is at a premium now that i'm overstocked on jugs etc. please allow me to introduce the pied piper. (that fucking rat falling on me was the inspiration for this guy)
i love you sons of bitches.

I miss Ruby...I know you still do..
yellowdog - welcome to enjoy the moment. as i like to say, take a deep breath, and enjoy the moment. these moments can be few and far between.
yeah, after ruby passed away and then the man who had my back for 60 years passed away i became SAD KING BILLY. billy pilgrim is mourning on tralfamadore after spending the first month of mourning in germany and watching one of few friends get shot for inadvertently picking up a teapot. so it goes.
Actual I have quite a few of those toby mug molds in my ceramic molds...Two I can think of his an old sea captain, and a pirate.
Coffee is on
That's the Pied Piper? Damn, he's got a hell of a nose. Your jugs are impressive, but Christina Hendricks may have better ones.
peppy - could be ahab and morgan.
gb - does the fair christina dabble in figurines and potter in her spare time?
I'm sorry you are sad, King Billy! Sorry about your man who had your back for 60 years. No wonder you are sad.
Your pied piper looks smarmy... just right!
I have no guess yet. I must mull this over.
Ok. I looked at possible choices and decided that you might favor Buffalo Bill! I would anyway.
holy shit, i didn't know there was a buffalo bill jug. and now i find out that there's a wild bill jug.
i'm going to need a bigger house.
glad your back and enjoying the moment.
My eyes are getting old! I didn't see the rat on top of the handle last couple of times I was here. All the better!
