After the fiasco over Springfield, Oregon made the rounds on the internet recently, Matt Groening reiterated that the Simpsons’ Springfield is an every town—not a specific place you can point to on a map. However, the truth is that Springfield is wherever you are—so long as you bring this travel mug.

It’s ridiculously early and I’m exhausted. Let’s start a new game of coffee. See what happens after the break.
Etsy sellers/Potters Jason and Jane Chischilly created a series of mugs based on “rhyton” drinking vessels, which were apparently common in ancient Persia. It seems ancient Persians weren’t concerned with putting their drink down.
A rhyton (plural rhytons or, following the Greek plural, rhyta) is a container from which fluids were intended to be drunk, or else poured in some ceremony such as libation (.libation (Σπονδή spondee in Greek) is a ritual pouring of a drink as an offering to a god or deity).
Check out a series of additional designs after the break.

QMx sent me one of their new Battlestar Galactica Top Gun steins for review, and there’s not to say beyond the fact that I absolutely love it. I have a lot of beer glasses and steins, but this is my new favorite.
Not only is it a 1:1 scale replica of the BSG screen-used prop (Scar episode), its also incredibly well made. It’s kiln fired ceramic with a metal lid that has a nice, solid heft to it. Definitely a vessel for ace drinkers.
Check out more pics of the stein after the break.
