That’s a mean cup of water — A mytho-legendary quote attributed to The Man in Black himself Johnny Cash when he performed live at San Quentin Prison.
Many people were against his performance in prisons especially prison guard unions who thought that a Johnny Cash prison performances would quite probably incite riots.
What actually happened was that Cash said: “If there are any guards still talking to me could you bring me a cup of water”.
After he finished drinking it, Cash destroyed and crushed the tin cup in which his water had been provided. Then he sang a song about the uselessness of San Quentin Prison and theories of rehabilitation called: San Quentin.
His Johnny Cash Live at San Quentin Album was certified gold on August 12th 1969 and in spite of the documented evidence to the contrary, the legend of the “ That’s a mean cup of water” quote is more powerful than what actually occurred.
But that’s the thing about a good and well told mytho-legendary story: it’s never what actually happened; it’s what SHOULD HAVE HAPPENED!!!!

Get the That’s a mean cup of water. mug.A Riker’s Island green cup experience — A short prison experience designed to make a weak co-conspirator flip on his bosses and “rat up” — meaning inform our co-conspirators higher in authority and more deeply imbedded in the organization under investigation.
Tennis great Boris Becker just finished two years in prison and he said: “ It’s a different lifestyle; it’s a different world…The only currency you have is your character and your personality — literally — and you better make friends with the strong boys because you need protection , you need a group of people to look out for you”
To which I say: YIKES!!!!!!!!
If you are weak A Riker’s Island green cup experience will not only make you flip; it will also make you a gold medal winning judicial gymnast!!!!!!!!

A Riker’s Island green cup experience may have caused Allen Weisselberg to flip on Donald Trump. Four months is a real jail in theory is short time. As an actual experience, and facing more charges it’s actually unthinkable. Flip hell!!! Allen Weisselberg probably not only flipped; but is now also probably a gold medal judicial gymnast!!!!!

Get the A Riker’s Island green cup experience mug.Riker’s Island green cup — part of a basic personal kit an inmate receives upon entering Riker’s Island prison. This cup has a multipurpose function allowing an inmate to shave, brush his teeth, drink water, or make a hot beverage to drink — using prison ingenuity — while in his cell. Often when prisoners “graduate” — leave prison — they bring their green cup with them both as a memento and a reminder.
You don’t ever want to be put into a position where you have to use a Riker’s Island green up; or, to actually learn and experience how useful and versatile it is in the life of a prisoner.

Allen Weisselberg is drinking out of Riker’s Island green cup. Let him sip out of it for a bit; because If they sweat him a little and threaten him with more time; he may just flip on Donald Trump.
You know how they do new prisoners who don’t know how to jail; have no clout; and, no set to have their back. There is no such thing as soft time or short time on Riker’s Island.

Get the Vedder Cup mug.an illness characterized by not knowing what to do with oneself (or one's vuvuzela) now that the FIFA world cup is over. additional symptoms include glazed eyes, a general feeling of listlessness, loss of appetite, and a tendency to watch terrible television to compensate for the end of the world cup.
I caught Tom watching the Tour de France in an effort to fill the void of world cup soccer. He's got post world cup depression real bad.
I tried to funnel with my vuvuzela but it's just not the same anymore.

Get the post world cup depression mug.A place/competition where antisocial teens go to compete in topics none of them understand, cram the last night, and feel good when they receive one of the thousands of medals there are, just to make them feel better. Oh, and also, it will cost you an arm and a leg to travel if you live anywhere that isn't a third world country or Europe.
The mascot is an alpaca, which they give you stuffed versions of so that you feel less depressed by your crushing defeat at at the hands of the Israeli team.
