So we should do cups since it's winter in Australia now.  :-)

I think it looks like cups are way more popular than caps.  I guess
I'll just have to buy a non-Gnus cap for myself to wear when reading
out on the veranda.  Oh, the horrors of it all!

I've been pondering the design of the possible cup.  Howxabout
something along the lines of:

Print it out and wrap it around a mug and see how it looks.  :-)

(The real version won't be ascii art, of course.)

I'll probably use the Saddam Hussein of typefaces, Futura
Semicondensed Extra Bold, for the text.  I hear that Syntax is
supposed to be all cute and stuff, but I don't have that...

A deep, verdant green for the mug and the image in, uhm, gold.  Unless
several different colors won't be more expensive, and we'll see about
color printing and stuff.  I'll have to ask around a bit.

Uhm.  Unless anybody has a different idea for the design.  Design
away, anybody who feels the calling...
