Da infamous "insider trading" crook who got busted 'cuz he couldn't resist regaling everyone with braggardly tales about da windfall profits of his clever sneakiness.
If Ivan Boastky had just kept his mouth shut, he might have gotten away with his chicanery, just as Odysseys could likely have escaped da cyclops's wrath if he'd just quietly sailed away, rather than loudly shouting his triumph at having outsmarted said murderous giant.

Get the Ivan Boastkymug. What a savvy vintage-merchandise dealer/buyer has to be in order not to get scammed with fake modern-day reproductions of classic items.
Rene Belloq claimed to be "antiquwitty" in that he could sell a cheap $10 trinket for a huge profit if he merely "buried it in the sand for a thousand years". The hitch, however, was that he would not likely be around long enough after burying said object to reap his rewards.

Get the antiquwittymug. Someone who doesn't technically qualify as a fellow crony, but whom da members allow to tag along anyway due to his cranky persistence in his efforts to join said group.
Walter is such a grouch dat one wonders how he ever managed to become part of Jeff Dunham's show; perhaps Jeff made him an ornerary member rather than listen to his whiny complaining about feeling left out.

Get the ornerary membermug. Lazy people may love ToleDON'T, but I'm a totally frenetic and impatient go-getter, so everyone's lacklusterily lazin' around would drive me nuts; I'd prefer to live in ToleDO!

Get the Toledon'tmug. Refers to the astonished stare that you assume when taste-testing two or more brands of a particular supermarket-offering and unexpectedly discover that you actually **prefer** the lower-priced store-brand (which traditionally would be expected to have a "weaker 'n' thinner" flavor/texture), rather than a costlier "big name" product.
Being on SSI and Food Stamps and thus having a very-limited budget, I am used to just buying the "el-cheapo" store-brand of groceries whenever I can stand their usually-milder-tasting flavors. Occasionally I do "splurge" and buy the pricier "fancy-pants" foods, though, when the taste is dramatically better, such as Nutella hazelnut spread or Armour Vienna sausage. One startling exception to this latter condition, though, was in the case of Dinty-Moore beef stew as opposed to just the Great Value brand... I bought a can of DM just to try it out in comparison to the WalMart brand, and I had a total case of generic-grocery gawk --- the Dinty-Moore brand was absolutely a-w-f-u-l, whereas the richly-tasty Great Value stew won hands-down! Boy, ya never know till ya try it, do ya???

Get the generic-grocery gawkmug. A monthly bribe dat you hafta pay a shamelessly-opportunistic techno-geek for him to let you use his special universal-playback VCR to watch your UK-formatted VHS videotapes.
I always make standard NTSC-formatted DVD copies of foreign-encoded videotapes so that I can keep my PALimony payments to a minimum.

Get the PALimonymug. A Khan artist would do well not to let da subject of his forgeries know about said watercolor-impersonations, or he would likely face said subject's "wrath".
