What is in your cup?

No, just me forgetting what you actually wrote. I withdraw my comment. You were actually nasty about right-handed cups!

Still nothing in my cup. Time to rectify* that.




* Another right-handed bias in English! It's a sinister conspiracy!

Yes, the mugs VydorScope mentions are left-handed, but only in decoration, not shape.

Incorrect, check again. Several of the cups would leak if you used them right handed, and at least one of them shape is designed for left handed people to keep their mustache out of the drink, would not work in your right hand.

Ouch! We lefties just can't catch a break!

Friends used to tease me about my bitching about right-handed world... until I invited them over to my house and had them try to cook a meal using left-handed tools. Watching Camille try to ladle soup using a left-handed ladle spilling soup all over the stove... or her husband trying to use a left handed can opener... Eye-opening for both of them. Then, trying to measure out ingredients with a left-handed measuring cup, or flip burgers with a spatula that was turned in the wrong direction... But the real kicker came when I asked Rob to measure a cardboard box using a left-handed tape measure, watching him twist and turn his head trying to read the upside down numbers.... Hysterical! Then we all got drunk.
But they never teased me again...

Might as well have a second glass of rum. I won't be drinking tomorrow night.

I think you have that in the wrong order....

THAT is a distinct possibility!

Bancha in my cup. Lucas is looking like he might be a lefty. He seems to strongly favor the left hand to pick things and and for throwing. No idea when this is determined but I like the idea of a lefty. Real advantage in baseball and tennis. (winks)

Quite right! I was wrong once again. Must be time for a drink.

Iced water in my cup at last.

[dreams]

Morning coffee in my cup, as I check out my mugs.
(I am right-handed, but hold my cup in my left hand when drinking coffee.)

[pdurrant]

My glass is empty! (It's an old imperial pint glass)




I think I'll have my Coca-cola for the day.

Wyui Shan Ti Kwan Oolong in my cup. First steeping. Good stuff.

Strangly tired given that I slept for 8 hours last night.

It can take more than one night's sleep to recover from prolonged sleep loss.

I just finished my second 24oz cup of water this 1.2 hour... time for coffee I think

[cromag]

A cold (relatively speaking) front moved through last night, and now I have a headache. Or, maybe, it was reading so much about handedness and cups.

Either way, I'm putting my head back and sipping on my first tea of the day.

[pdurrant]

Some more iced water for me.

[orlok]

Nothing. But a glass of wine (in an ambidextrous glass) is calling me as soon as I get back from dropping my daughter's friend back home.
