Get the hot dog specialistmug. When you're in a room with two or more dudes for an extended period of time and not a single female is present. This is a "Hot Dogs No Buns" situation.
The senior class was throwing a party at school for Halloween. I said oh that's cool, why not drop by the party later tonight and get jiggy with the senior chicks! I get there and I see a group of guys doing the jerk and every one else was just standing in a corner... Some of them were even doing homework at the snack table. And there wasn't a damn female in sight. The girls that did show up to the party had left earlier because they were the only 2 girls in the spot, with nearly 30 guys including the science teacher. It was totally HOT DOGS NO BUNS.
