Get the Boat mug.Used to announce the arrival of fresh, hot fried rice, usually just off a ship or cooking line. A way to signal something amazing, steamy, and worth dropping everything for.
Origin – The Chronicles of Steam and Salt (circa 603 CE)
Legend holds that during the reign of Emperor Gǔ Tán of the Jade Coast, the empire faced a culinary famine. The emperor, a devout lover of wok-fried rice, decreed that no grain of mediocre rice shall be served within the palace walls.
He summoned the Seven Rice Alchemists, legendary chefs who sailed eastward in gilded boats to find the perfect grain, seasoned wind, and wok flame. After three lunar cycles, they returned—bearing not just rare spices and golden grains, but vats of fried rice so fragrant, the emperor wept into his beard.
As the boats docked, steam rose like incense, and the people cried:
“Fresh off the boat!”
(“Rice from the boat, heaven’s aroma descends.”)
The phrase passed into legend, later used by dock workers, food smugglers, and ravenous poets whenever something too good to be local came in hot.
Fun Fact:
During a 1986 noodle festival in Macau, a fried rice vendor was fined for yelling “Fresh off the boat!” too many times during a single hour. It was later ruled a protected phrase by the Culinary Heritage Bureau.

Get the Boating in the Sahara mug.When you mix all your bodily fluids into a bucket with indiana river water and stir it until it thickens up into a lube like texture that has a greyish brown tent to it. Then use it for lube to penetrate your partners holes and create prolapses as it does not actually lubricate your member. Then scrape the remaining contents and the newly added fluids off your member and the prolapse. Place all that back in the mixture place in a cake pan and bake at 425 for 30 minutes. The finished item is an indiana river boat and if you don't eat it all you are not a true hoosier.
My boyfriend performed the indiana river boat on me, the prolapses were almost as good as the meal afterwards
