Very stylish anime set in a future where the boundaries between the virtual and real worlds are blurred, and hence the concept of existence too.
In this world where bodies are interchangable you are generally considered a person if you have a "ghost line"; special code that cannot be artifically created.
The comic discussed different kinds of intelligence and had a fair amount of political commentary. The final appendix opened the very real idea that major Kusanagi, the lead role, must have died along time ago by being copied.
Heavily influenced by Bladerunner, the first ever Cyberpunk novel and arguably the first ever science fiction novel.

Get the Ghost in the Shellmug. Having a memory involving something dark and repressed and sweating profusely whilst you wonder just who else knows.
A free floating fear or anxiety that will latch onto just about anything.

Get the paranoiamug. Generally a small piece of fried potato.
In America a chip comes in a special silver moon-bag and is able to withstand atomic blasts. Sometimes the chip comes in a card tube and is manufactured to aeronautic levels of tolerance in regards of flavor and shape.
In the Uk chips come wrapped in yesterdays news and vary greatly in quality and flavour, although are pretty much as dull as a staple food can be.
If you want the Uk equivalent of a chip, it's a crisp. And yeah, we have the little foil lined bags too.

Was putting Olestra in Pringles' chips really a good idea?
A bag of chips on the way back from the pub is never a bad idea.

Get the chipmug. Esteemed engine tuner based in Northampton, UK.
Previously confused as part of Ford Racing and Ford SVT because of their excellent rally successes with the Sierra Cosworth and it's derivatives including the RS200, whose insanely high performance meant most examples were written off and directly resulting in rally cars of its type being removed from the sport.
There are several "Cosworths" out there, including Mercedes and Vauxhall. Although because of the misconception these are Fords they never badge the cars as Cosworth; only Ford did this.
Audi are the current owners of Cosworth and their skill was involed in the Audi TT.
Yes. The Escort Cosworth was really a special short wheelbase Sierra with an Escort looking shell. Real Escorts have subtely different measurments.

The RS500 was called as such because of the 500 units that had to be sold to pass homologation, it's just coincidence that you can easily tune them to 500Bhp.
Cossies, whilst not as advanced as EVO sevens and the like, have far more style and personality.

Get the Cosworthmug. A brand of the world's biggest consumer corporation, Matsushita. Pioneered "organic edge design" in the late 80s, meaning that products started to have generic body like curves as oppossed to geometric designs.
Same company as Technics, National, Panavison, Panaflex and Pana-anything. Their equipment has been used in filming for ages.
Not quite as boring or planned redundancy compliant as other brands like Sony, whom tend to disable features on cheaper products and make less and less reliable laser pickups all the time.
Shop around before buying Panasonic, they only make a handful of really good products.

I have a Panasonic stereo with 400w PMPO in my Civic, which would be around 4w RMS in reality. Listen to my ghetto-bass with >5% THD at half volume.

Get the panasonicmug. Classic 80s dance anthem by Josh Wink. Re-released and remixed so very many times, and it always sounds new.
Insane treble keeps lifting, lifting, lifting you straight through the roof. You really have to hear this on a nice stereo to get the totally massive brain melting euphoric sort of thing.

Get the higher state of consciousnessmug. Use it in the same context as moose, although with the added bonus of sounding acceptable in affection too.
Holy shit, that moof is always pissed.
Ah, poor moof... is there anything you can do without getting hurt?
