Product Description
Brought to You by The Unemployed Philosophers Guild The origins of the Unemployed Philosophers Guild are shrouded in mystery. Some accounts trace the Guild's birth to Athens in the latter half of the 4th century BCE. Allegedly, several lesser philosophers grew weary of the endless Socratic dialogue endemic in their trade and turned to crafting household implements and playthings. (Hence the assertions that Socrates quaffed his hemlock poison from a Guild-designed chalice, though vigorous debate surrounds the question of whether it was a "disappearing" chalice.) Others argue that the UPG dates from the High Middle Ages, when the Philosophers Guild entered the world of commerce by selling bawdy pamphlets to pilgrims facing long lines for the restroom. Business boomed until 1211 when Pope Innocent III condemned the publications. Not surprisingly, this led to increased sales, even as half our membership was burned at the stake. More recently, revisionist historians have pinpointed the birth of the Guild to the time it was still cool to live in New York City's Lower East Side. Two brothers turned their inner creativity and love of paying rent towards fulfilling the people's needs for finger puppets, warm slippers, coffee cups, and cracking up at stuff.

On another note, BRING BACK THE DOCTOR WHO DALEK MUG!
The mug itself is made in China and appears to be well constructed--it's a heavier duty mug with some heft to it. The glaze is even and no defects in the printing/design. Though the vendors on Amazon differ (well, Amazon sells this one, the other was from a partner vendor), this is from the same people who sold the Shakespearian insult mug I also got for him.
The only thing I could complain about (which is not my son's complaint) is that I would love a quote about the 'machine that goes ping' and perhaps about the airspeed velocity of an unladen swallow. But there are plenty of great quotes, and only so much room on the mug!
JTG
(and check out the 'instructional' video for mugs on the manufacturer's website...very amusing!)
A definite recommend!
I wanted to get another and am dismayed to find it is out of stock and no expected date for restock can be determined. The Unemployed Philosophers Guild seems to have abandoned it. They do not even list it any longer on their site. I hope that is not true and I have signed up to have Amazon send me an email when it is back.
I went looking around and not only will you find nothing even remotely comparable you will be disappointed at the selection. I was. I did find a site called Monty Python Online Shop that did list the mug as sold out. At another site, unoriginally called Monty Python Online Store (both sites have a suspiciously similar appearance), I found a mug called the Cloud Woman Mug that has a beautiful reproduction of a Terry Gilliam illustration. I’m thinking about getting it. Both sites are associated with the alleged official Python web site at MontyPython.com.
I really hope this fantastically beautiful and funny mug becomes available again.
The quotes included on the mug are:
•Nudge, nudge, wink, wink. Know what I mean?
•Tis but a scratch
•And now for something completely different
•Always look on the bright side of life
•And finally, monsieur, a wafer-thin mint
•Nobody expects the Spanish Inquisition!
•I fart in your general direction. Your mother was a hamster and your father smelt of elderberries
•Well, I object to all this sex on the television! I mean, I keep falling off!
•Run away!
•This is an ex-parrot!
•Please! This is supposed to be a happy occasion. Let's not bicker and argue over who killed who
•He's not the messiah--- he's a very naught boy
•You're no fun anymore.
•All right... all right... but apart from better sanitation and medicine and education and irrigation and public health and roads and a freshwater system and baths and public order... what have the Romans ever done for us?
•Yes, but I think that with government backing I could make it very silly
•Spam spam spam spam spam spam spam spam... spam spa-a-a-a-a-am spam spa-a-a-a-a-am spam. Lovely spam! lovely spam!
•I wanted to be... a lumberjack!
•Wenn ist bas nunstück git und slotermeyer? Ja!... Beiherhund das oder die flipperwaldt gersput
•Look, that rabbit's got a vicious streak a mile wide! It's a killer!
