Beauregard D. Hound Mug
It's been a while since my last thrifty post, mostly because I haven't been doing a lot of thrifty shopping and the things I've been finding aren't all that great. Well today that changed when I found the most random, weird, amazing, strange mug. Where to start, well there is a picture of a dog, whose head has been photoshopped onto a portrait of a confederate soldier. In fact his name is Beauregard D. Hound, Private, 2nd Louisiana Regiment CSA. Have a look at him.
To make it easier to read I'll just type it out here.
Private Hound looked good in uniform.
Real good. Shallow and caring little
about the cause, he spent hours while
on the battlefield admiring himself in
the looking glass he carried in his
breast pocket. One sunny day near
Petersberg, VA, reflections from that
mirror inadvertently signaled his
company's position to Union forces.
Following a brief skirmish, Private
Hound was taken prisoner by his own
comrades and turned over to the
enemy. Unfortunately for him, his
mirror was never recovered.
Ok, got all that? I'm not sure where to even begin with all of this. Umm.... yea, I'm at a loss for words on this one.
There is also a website address on the mug dopeydopeydopey.com which links to this site www.cafepress.com/dopeydogart Go read their "About Us" page to get a better since of just what is going on here.
They do have this mug with the dog on it for sale.. They actually have a whole Civil War Parody section. Along with mugs you can get t-shirts, sweatshirts, notecards, mousepads, pillows, tiles, and more. Avalable in numerous dog breeds, all with their own story. If your there saying to yourself, but Ian, I don't have a dog. Don't worry they also have items for your cats, goats, horses, and iguanas.
Wait, why did I buy this again?
