Get the Tetcel mug.Literally translated the Greek word tetelestai means, “It is finished.” The word occurs in Greek translations of John 19:28 and 19:30 and these are the only two places in the New Testament where it occurs. In 19:28 it is translated, “After this, when Jesus knew that all things were now completed, in order that the scripture might be fulfilled, he said, ‘I thirst.’” Two verses later, he utters the word himself: “Then when he received the sour wine Jesus said, ‘It is finished,’ and he bowed his head and gave up his spirit.”
The word tetelestai was also written on business documents or receipts in New Testament times to indicate a bill had been paid in full. The Greek-English lexicon by Moulton and Milligan says this:
“Receipts are often introduced by the phrase sic tetelestai, usually written in an abbreviated manner...” (p. 630). The connection between receipts and what Christ accomplished would have been quite clear to John’s Greek-speaking readership; it would be unmistakable that Jesus Christ had died to pay for their sins.

dude 1: "aye man, my sin is keeping me from living righteously with God"
dude 2: "it's already been paid in full by Jesus man... tetelestai!"

Get the tercel mug.A very reliable car made by the toyota corp. Often mistaken as cheap rather then afordable. These cars have been known to last as long as 600k miles on a single engine. :-)
A modified tercel: Ultamate understatment, This car has very few aftermarket parts making it a true tunner only car. This car requires lots of love and time to make, mold, bend, and weld one off parts. If done up right you have a very light nimble fwd compact that you can bank on. A fully modified tercel will be gawked at nomatter how good it looks due to peoples stereo-typical ignorance. The tercel is particulary useful in the rare sport of fwd drifting; not crappy e-brake style oversteer.

Get the Tercel mug.The most amazing super hero in the entire universe, way better than Superman, the flash, Batman, Catwoman, Daredevil, The Hulk, The Mask, Jaws, Big Bird, The Three Stooges, The Three Amigos, the Green Lantern, Noobman, Emeril and Dr. phil ... combined. Super Tetelman Man has ever super power that you could ever imagine, and if you were ever to imagine a new one he would then gain that power. He can fly, shoot lasers out of his eyes, breath ice, have atomic farts, play a percet game of bowling ten times in a row, summon captain planet (only to ridicule him about how he is a hippy that is gay with aquaman), breathe anywhere, not need to breath, turn invisible transform into a bucket of mud, water, or any other living or nonliving thing, make annoying dogs stop barking, and everything else, he can even summon the fishes as useless as that power is. The only thing stopping him from saving the world from itself, the sun, asteroids, comets, robots, disease, bad movies(like Superman Returns), global warming, and hat hair is his one weakness that being he is lazy beyond belief. This causes him to use his pwers but in the most lazy way ever. This could include telekenisis to get the remote control, mind control to get pizza, talking to fish to wipe his ass, time control to watch his favorite show and skip the crappy ones(without tivo whic is to expesive for someone to lazy to get a job). The only aspect of Super Tetelman Man that is not lazy is his side kick, Super Teteldog Dog who is not quite as super as Super Teteman Man.
If only Super Tetelman Man was not so lazy he could teleport here and save us from certain doom and destruction.
Super Tetelman Man is so cool I want to grow up just like him
