I added a picture above of the original lamp that inspired me too. I am working on a design for a highly impractical tiki mug – it won’t stand up by itself, the opening is too small for large ice cubes, it would need to be filled with a funnel or a steady hand, it doesn’t hold very much, it can only be used with a straw, it has the potential to get you arrested or killed, and because it has to be glazed all the way around it will have stilt marks on one side. But I just couldn’t resist the call of Exotic Espionage! Loosely based on James Bond’s Walther PPK, but 007 was never cool enough to have Tiki grips :lol: This master is made from snips & snails & puppy dog tails – well actually wood scraps, PVC pipe, sculpty clay, and lots of glue. It’s a little larger than the regulation issue PPK just so you can squeeze in a few more rounds of rum. Just the thing for some poolside undercover work at Tiki Oasis 12 It may not be such a great idea. For better or for worse, we live in a very gun-sensitive culture. And while the 2nd Amendment still makes “open carry” legal in theory, in practice it will bring you plenty of hassle. Taking your favorite legal firearm to the mall will almost guarantee a free trip downtown and a complimentary cavity search. An orange muzzle on the mug would help but that would make it ugly!
