Get the QUINCY JONES mug.A style of music found at the intersection of jazz,funk,and rock.The golden age for this music was 1975 to about 1982.Most of the stars of the style just dabbled before going on to/back to that which paid the bills.As a
sub-genre it lacked a huge following...but it's influence can still be heard in music today.Usually as a sample.

Get the COCAINE DECISION mug.A company-or divison of a company-whose sole reason for being is to sue other companies/individuals for patent infringment.Sometimes the troll is a large tech company with many patents.Other times it's a smaller company that purchases patents...then goes huntin'.Don't let this stop you from makin' shit.

Get the PATENT TROLL mug.1)An EXTREMELY RELIABLE technology that mysteriously becomes
less reliable for a woman-the wealthier a man is.
2)An EXTREMELY RELIABLE technology that has been available-in
at least nine different forms to women-for now about
50 YEARS.(There's only two for men:Condom.Vasectomy.)This means nine different forms BEFORE you even
touch abortion or sterilization...But "unplanned"/unwanted
kids still get here.
3)An EXTREMELY RELIABLE technology-available more to women
than men.Yet newsmedia continues to blame men for
irresponsible breeding.Interesting.I've never met a man
who decided when a baby would be born.
