Cool thing #1: Jane Marie, co-editor over at The Hairpin (a site we ♥), included Sugar’s Write Like a Motherfucker mug on her list of “Gifts for Dudes.” (Thanks Jane, we love you back!)
Cool thing #2, though, is that the story doesn’t end there. In her writeup of the mug Jane states, “This was such a huge hit around my last office that my boss ‘accidentally’ stole mine.”
Now that’s understandable, our own WLAMF mugs go missing here at Rumpus HQ all the time. But it was Rumpus rockstar Elissa Bassist (weird-coincidence: EB was the letter writer in Dear Sugar #48: Write Like a Motherfucker) who alerted us to something pretty rad: Jane Marie’s boss/thief at her “last office” was none other than Ira Glass.
From the article’s comments section:
Now listen, Ira, we understand. Sugar’s WLAMF mugs are super great. But don’t turn to a life of crime. It’s not worth it. And, let’s be honest, we’d probably send you a free one if you asked.

It is important to note that these sweet mugs were designed by amazing-dude-extraordinaire Walter Green.
