The Transatlantic Tacky Swag Swap has begun!
Web Chef Aaron Stanush “mugs” for the camera. Get it?
Drupal themer extraordinaire Morten.dk, currently ranked #7 on Google for “king of Denmark”, has been bugging us for a Don’t Mess with Texas mug. Well, “bugging” may not be the right word. “Profanely demanding” is more appropriate.
Finding one was surprisingly difficult. While (lesser) cities like Dallas and Houston are lined with shops hawking rattlesnake heads and scorpions encased in plastic, there doesn’t seem to be much demand for Texas memorabilia in Austin.
Except at the airport, where you can find your name stamped on a fake Texas license plate or worn chunk of fencepost.
So, after scoring the great city of Austin for tacky crap, we proudly present Morten.dk’s Don’t Mess with Texas mug:
Morten.dk’s Don’t Mess with Texas mug
Denmark or bust!
In return, we demand Morten.dk send us the tackiest Danish thing he can get his hands on. (I seem to remember him saying something about mermaids. Is that a Danish thing? Is Denmark known for mermaids or mer-related activity?)
Morten, the ball’s in your court. The gloves are off, and I’ve thrown down the gauntlet. There’s a line in the sand. You’re walking a tightrope.
That is to say, you have been challenged. The Transatlantic Tacky Swag Swap has begun!

“Don’t Mess With Texas”, Tacky? I don’t think so! If you want tacky, you’ll need to acquire some beverage koozies from the Double-Shot Liquor & Guns emporium in Schulenburg, Texas.
On a recent trip, I stopped-in for refreshing adult libations and left with considerable swag, and a few photos which can be found on my neighbor Juanita’s not-a-blog: http://www.kissmybigbluebutt.com/july2008.htm#july17sch
Transatlantic Tacky Swag Swap - I’m in!
@TallDavid
Sup Todd,
You’re thinking of the Little Mermaid.
Cheers,

We of the Cologne Drupal Inaugural New Users Rescue Camp Organization “Lest Others Need” (CD-IN-UR-COLON) also take up the gauntlet of trans-Atlantic tacky junk swapping and will not pass Go, nor collect 200 dollars until we, too, have purchased, photographed and sent to you, Austin Texas Drupal Brothers, the nastiest, glow in the dark, black velvet Mona Lisa (or the next best equivalent) we can find!
We will go one step further and not limit ourselves to just one country’s miniaturized, plastic die-cast reproductions of famous monuments and nice lobsters!
Alert your mailman, we are getting busy!

You better be serious, or I will be sooo disappointed.
Would you say that I look smug in that photo?
