No one needs this. Or, how to keep your face dirty.

I've been roaming home stores on the internet lately. I don't "need" anything. . .so I just peruse all the new items trying to imagine if they would fit into DC Rowhouse in some way. Somethings are insane. Here is example number one:





This set of "spoon coffee mugs" can be found at CB2 for the random amount of $15.80. But, the description is the best part: "This clever, all-in-one design solves the eternal question of where to park your spoon post-stir." Let's think this through. First off . .  .you're in a house using these (as you bought them at the store and brought them to your  - or someone else's - abode), so there is most likely a sink nearby. I don't know about you guys, but I don't fret about where to put my dirty spoon once I stirred my coffee. . .I just put it in the sink/dishwasher/counter. Second, they "solve" this problem by having you put the dirty spoon in the handle where it sticks out and will most likely brush against your face each time you sip from the mug.

I think I'll stick with the old-fashion method.

Moronic.

That is pretty dumb. Maybe some people love to stir throughout their coffee experience?
