Adventurous teabag danglers

Love the little adventure dudes on the ends of these teabags, custom designed for a posh cafe in Istanbul.

I write books. My latest is a YA science fiction novel called Homeland (it's the sequel to Little Brother). More books: Rapture of the Nerds (a novel, with Charlie Stross); With a Little Help (short stories); and The Great Big Beautiful Tomorrow (novella and nonfic). I speak all over the place and I tweet and tumble, too.

it seems a shame that these are throw-away, with a bit of nylon fishing line and a crocodile clip to hold the teabag the bungee-jumpers could throw themselves over the edge of the cup again and again and again…

An EON hand? Powerful man, that Universe Man!

Or excellent man. …I guess that depends on whether it’s the Flood or the Severe Tire Damage version.

Teabag danglers go well with cock necklaces, or so I hear.

I’m glad I’m not the only one went for the gutter when the title “Adventurous teabag danglers” showed up in RSS.

The headline did not meet my content expectations. I’m obviously spending too much time on 4chan.

TBH, the cafe can’t be that posh if it’s serving tea in tea bags. Leaf tea and tea pots, ftw!
(Although, I will admit that the little people hanging from the cups are quite cool.)

hes got a watch with a minute hand, a millenium hand, and get this, AN EON HAND. and when they meet? that’s right, it’s a happy land.

I think I’d like a mug that has a faux dangling adventurer on it since I drink loose leaf tea. (because they’re really cute, even if tea bags are yucky.)
minTphresh

hmm, so what you’re trying to tell me is that an adventerous tea-bagger wearing a cock necklace, scooted on his suitcase-sized package whilst perusing vintage smut in his unusually built house, finally found that ancient stash of herb hidden sometime in the eighth century b.c.e., got so high that he Kzorxed on his wee-Wii, but no matter how hard he scrubbed,he couldn’t get the catshit off the world’s oldest living creature. elated stormtroopers reward prince’s plattitudes with electrodes to the gonads, and slumberland in the toolchest. did i mention “robo-clam”? ’nuff said.

Adventure dudes? On principle, I demand the mountain climber and bungee jumper be replaced with Fafhrd and the Grey Mouser.

Istanbul was Constantinople
Now it’s Istanbul, not Constantinople
Been a long time gone, Constantinople
Now it’s Turkish delight on a moonlit night

Every gal in Constantinople
Lives in Istanbul, not Constantinople
So if you’ve a date in Constantinople
She’ll be waiting in Istanbul

People just like it better that way.
