I decided to make a 3 day weekend so I said my goodbyes to my work buddies. Out of the blue, I was told I was being sent home with a random dude from the office. He seems nice enough but we have never really talked, it seems that going home with him is moving a little too fast. He told me we were going to a basketball game or something like that. I hope he treats me well! He promised to update the followers about our weekend, keeping it G rated I hope.

Sometimes when you fill the red cup with liquids other than water it causes the red cup to make bad choices. It also causes the red cup to have trouble standing up....

You would think the red cup would know better but for some reason the red cup does not learn from it's past mistakes!

Part 4. NATU and Hissing Sid

The Red Cup had a restless night of sleep and spilt a lot of water trying to think of a plan of action. Next day, there was a secret meeting and Red Cup learnt that the mastermind of the bosses was an evil boss called Madafi who not only made the Coffee Pots take the shape altering drug but who paced the halls of the flat building taking notes of infringements and reported these to HR. During the meeting everyone was very excited and tried to contain themselves and decided they would be know as N.A.T.U. - Neighbors Against Limpagras Union. They started to hum and sing what would become their battle cry and it went embarrassingly like this…….(Um..warning could be a bit like a song from Les Miserables…….)

Red, the anger of coffee pots

Black, the coffee - dark and hot

Red, the bravery of the cup

Black, the lid that’s tight on top

Red, the color to inspire

Black, the dark in Madafi’s soul

Red, the bravery of the cup

Black, the lid that’s tight on top

What the cups, mugs and glasses did not know was that Madafi had a spy - Hissing Sid, who pretended to be friends but reported everything back to the evil Madafi. When the evil Madafi heard of NATU, Madafi was mad and mad Madafi was not a good thing. Hissing Sid and Mad Madafi formulated a plan to kidnap Red Cup…………………..(this is like a cliff hanger……..and now will say……to be continued…)

Earned a few beads last night by taking my top (lid) off.


I spent the rest of the evening hanging with other plastic friends....

Part 3 - Close Encounters of the Third Kind…..

The Red Cup wasn't sure how work would be in the flat building built across the lake but was ready to meet new forms of liquid containing life.

The First Encounter was with a white cup, that seemed a bit on the short side (but who aspired to be a lot taller) calling itself Ecru Café Tasse de café but who the Red Cup later found out was also known as the Cream Coffee Mug. The Cream Coffee Mug said "Je am pleazed to meeet tu." The Red Cup didn't understand at first but then a fat tall plastic glass came along calling itself Pink Totem and said "Cut that out Cream Mug - You and your tall french aspirations - just talk regular without an accent so w' all (similar to 'y'all) can understand".

The Cream Mug steamed a bit but then said "Let me give you the low down on the on those Coffee Pots over there………." It was then that Red Cup has Close Encounters of the Third Kind with the Coffee Pots. Many moons ago the Coffee Pots has been different………….yes, they originally were from a far off land called the Netherlands. It seemed that in the Netherlands that many shapes and forms were acceptable that were not acceptable in the flat building. The Coffee Pots described exciting liquids and shapes of liquid containing life and that they had once been young and different. They told their sad story of how they had been forced to change and take a shape altering drugs by their cruel and wicked bosses. Drugs that deformed and made them sad and unhappy called "limpagras". Red Cup was shocked and amazed as the Coffee Pots showed former pictures of themselves……..and of family in the Netherlands to see what a terrible transformation had taken place……….Red Cup was determined to do something……………

Part 2: To Go Where No Red Cup Had Gone Before

………..in this flat building opposite the lake there lay a terrible secret. It was a hard secret for the Red Cup to accept………..the secret was that there were NO OTHER Red Cups in this flat building! Oh yes, there were cups, heavy set white porcelain mugs, snooty Starbucks stainless steel mugs, frivolous silly see -through glasses, cheap embarrassing styro foam cups but not a single RED CUP with a tight black lid! So the Red Cup did a very brave thing venturing where no Red Cup had gone before………….it vaguely remembered it had to seek out new life and new civilizations………no that was Star Trek……….well anyway - it had to seek out new cups, vessels, glasses and containers and go bravely where no Red Cup had gone before!!!!!

The Adventures of Red Cup…………

Part 1

In a land not far away where rain was sparse and the pollen blew thick and hard, there live a bright red cup, in cube, in an office, in a flat building, opposite a lake where other red cups were afraid to go. They were afraid because……….(to be continued)(contributed by "S")
