I actually planned to use the mug as a recurring gag for the series (I just didn't expect to be stuck on the third part for like three years). It also meets its grisly end in another (separate) WIP I'm working on. So yeah... I have an unhealthy obsession with that mug ;)

Canoeing... canoeing... that's pretty good! I'm thinking maybe Rough Landings, if not, I'm totally stumped.
