Skaven Mug
An Oakland California punk band from 1995-1997 that came under the Crust Punk and Crust genre creating Oakland Crust Punk. Along with Southern California's Dystopia (among several other west coast bands) helped create a wave of West Coast crust punk. Heavily influenced by 80's U.K. Crust bands Amebix, Hellbastard, Extreme Noise Terror, Deviated Instinct....etc. Skaven, formed by Zebediah (vocals, now of DemonSteed) and Mike Matusio (bass) had originally been the grind/crust band Black Maggot (early 1995.) After going through a rippen brief life Black Maggot added Shaner, who played second bass guitar (forming a double bass guitar sound which set them apart from the others.) Rockin' Geoff Evans on guitar (now of doom metal ass kickers, Asunder) and RoskoTofu on drums formed a unique and dark form of Crust. Skaven was born. Taking there name from a race of Choas war-shippin' rat-men, and embracing the insanity of war, fantasy, celtic identity and life on the dark side of America. Drinking to excess (along with 3 members pulling serious H habits...)it is amazing they were able to pull off what they did. But donning their bullet belts and War Vests they took their cue from Lemmy, of Motorhead fame, and began a war on livers and muffin everywhere. After 4 months they released their first album, pressing a split LP with Dystopia (their brother band, Skaven's side was.....Blessed are the Worms, Life is Abuse) in early 1996 and followed up by a self titled 7" (also known as The Flowers of Flesh and Blood, Misanthropic Records late 1996.) *NOTE: Both Misanthropic and Life is Abuse are two of the earliest Cali Crust labels and Life is Abuse especially a pioneering label! Due to the fact that Skaven only released vinyl, in fact they mastered the 7" on the last vinyl mastering machine in the WORLD at the time! (a CD discography is rumored for Halloween 2009, 15 year anniversary!) Skaven records are highly sought and go for a premium price. Skaven and Dystopia did a tour in the winter of 1996, known to survivors as "the blitz", although it was just a day in the life of a true crustpunk warrior, Skaven lasted around the end of 1996, then crumbled after the firing of Zeb (time is wasted on the youth...) his songs (and Skaven as a working band) went with him. All to brief for a band that made a distinct sound and walked the walk, in an amazing scene at the right time and place. Playing and living with loads of great bands, such as, Neurosis, El Dopa, Skaven, Dystopia, Misery, Ojo Rojo, Noothgrush, State of Fear, Cruevo, Christ Driver, Man is the Bastard ....the list goes on and on. Crust done Oakland style (War Crust, War Metal.) Up the Irons! In it for life! Oakland Punx / Pyrate Punx "official band"!
The Urban Dictionary Mug
fuck you and your mugs give me a shirt or ill shit on you
Love love love it! Customer service gave me a coupon, let me know that I had to revise the definition when too long, and overall super helpful.
Nice Mug my second Mug. A little staining or photo graphic stain on the side of the cup and shown in the picture. As a result I cannot give a 5 Star Review.
The snarky message on the mug always gets big laughs from guests so I'm now using it as my go-to bourbon glass
Love the coffee mug. Would have been nice to see who had the word accepted into Urban Dictionary printed on the bottom of the mug. As I was the one. "Dusty Dawg" Other than that I love.
fuck ur mugs i want one for free
This mug, much like a cursed relic unearthed from the depths of despair, embodies a cacophony of design flaws and manufacturing mishaps that make one wonder if it was birthed from the darkest corners of incompetence itself. From its deceptively promising exterior, which boasts a color scheme akin to a bruised banana left out in the sun for too long, to its handle that feels more like a medieval torture device designed to punish the unsuspecting hand that dares to grasp it, every aspect of this mug screams "regret." Its material, a sinister amalgamation of recycled nightmares and shattered dreams, leeches a flavor reminiscent of stale coffee mixed with the tears of disappointed souls into whatever liquid unfortunate enough to be poured within its cursed confines. The rim, jagged and uneven like the edge of a poorly forged blade, guarantees that each sip is a perilous journey fraught with the risk of lip lacerations and existential dread. And let us not forget the bottom of this vessel, where the manufacturer's logo is stamped with all the subtlety of a scarlet letter, branding the user as a victim of their own poor purchasing decisions for all eternity. Indeed, this mug serves as a stark reminder that sometimes, in the vast expanse of consumer goods, there exists a dark abyss where quality and utility fear to tread, leaving only disappointment and regret in their wake.
I think it’s funny and the quality is really good. Shipping was pretty fast too.

Sent this to my crush now she has a restraining order on me!!!
Without this mug, my life was but a series of painful unfortunate events. Since it has come into my life, love has followed, joy has followed and dishonour has been disavowed. Sincerely. From the bottom of my heart. Thank you. Please keep up the good work and I hope everyone will find joy as I have one day.
I love the Duh Big Red Truck so much that I have a tattoo. So does my best friend. We’re in our 60s. Woot woot!

Just wish it could have had a little more of the text on the mug, but otherwise it's great. What a clever marketing idea to be able to get this on t-shirts and mugs.
