Get the Philodox mug.A mythical stone which alchemy practically revolves around. It was desired by a lot of entrepreneurs (see suckers) in the dark ages because of its promise to turn ordinary materials like coal into gold. Naturally, all of those who sought the stone practiced alchemy, and not surprisingly they came up empty-handed.
A Philosopher's stone would be awesome to have, if only it existed in the first place.
Don't waste your life searching for a Philosopher's stone.
(i.e. you're chasing nothing)

The original brand-name for methamphetamine, crank, speed, tina, or shabu in Japan, where it was invented, and other East Asian countries (Korea and China come to mind).
Methamphetamine is a drug that causes extreme rises in wakefulness (the need for sleep disappears) and well-being (the best antidepressant, aside from morphine of course). It also causes a decrease in appetite. Unfortunately, methamphetamine made in a drug lab is not of good quality, containing various leftovers from production. For this reason, the use of "dirty" methamphetamine causes rotting of teeth, losses of arms and legs, and sickness in general.

Get the philopon mug."Coffee Shop Philosopher" - Noun - This is a label given to people who enjoy sitting in coffee shops and discussing philosophy. This ties into the common stereotype of philosophers and philosophy students alike; that they are coffee addicts. Other stereotypes of addiction include: cigarettes, cigars, pipes, alchohol, boring pamphlets, and marijuana.
Another associated connotation of Coffee Shop Philosopher is their subject of discourse. Generally they deal with existential or absurd(Ref. Camus) theories or discussions. Most Coffee Shop Philosophers are not well educated in philosophy in that they are more exposed to Modern and Post-Modern philosophical works, as opposed to Ancient or Scholastic thought. This generally limits discourse to Nietzche, Camus, Sartre, Simone De Beauvoir(For the female coffeshop philosophers), and a few continentals such as Kierkagard, and Heidegger.
Some use "Coffee Shop Philosopher" as a means of slander or jeering. When used in this way it connotes a certain level of authority of the person calling someone else a Coffee Shop Philosopher. Essentially they're insinuating that the one who is a Coffee Shop Philosopher is someone who only knows the tip of the iceberg of philosophy, or again they are insinuating the connotations listed above.
