“Is There in Truth No Beauty?” Star Trek Giveaway

Star Trek hip flaskIn conjunction with today’s Star Trek re-watch of “Is There in Truth No Beauty?” by David Mack and Dayton Ward we’re giving away...more food-related Trek stuff!

We promise we’ll get off the food tip soon, but now that you’ve cut your pizza and opened your beer/soda/unspecified bottled lubricant, you need something to pour your beverage into! Towards that end, we’re offering one of two options:

For those who need to squirrel their Romulan Ale away from Federation authorities (or, uh, your Budweiser Classic?), there’s this hip flask from ThinkGeek (pictured above).

Star Trek disappearing transporter mugFor those who are abstaining (no judgments, Kirk, but don’t make us relive the post-dinner scenes from Star Trek VI) there’s this handy Disappearing Transporter Mug.

The Official Rules: To enter, leave one comment on this post—duplicates won’t count—that specifies which container you’d like, the mug or the flask, by noon EST, Monday 11/08. We’ll randonly select two winners, one from the mug crowd, one from the flask crowd Please check your email Monday or Tuesday; if we don’t hear back from the winner in 24 hours, another winner will be chosen.

I could live with either (if that could get me in the running for both), but if I had to choose one, it would be the mug - it would make a great gift for my father!
Metalstorm
43. NCBill
Ale, the breakfast of champions!
Metalstorm
44. Jason (No, the other one)
Ironic that my boss just said she needs a hip flask - but I'd keep that one for myself!
Twila Price
45. anderyn
Ooooh. Hip flask looks cool, but I am a tea girl myself.
Metalstorm
46. jou7153
Tea! Earl Grey! Hot! ... In a mug, please. :)
Metalstorm

That is one shiny flask
Ashley McGee
49. AshleyMcGee

John Carleton
70. jc1239

Metalstorm
71. killerqueen
I like the mug. Cool Chtristmas present!
Rammy Meyerowitz
72. m5rammy
They're both cool. I'd probably get more use out of the mug, so I guess I'd have to pick that one.
Metalstorm
73. Erich K.
I'd like the mug, please.
Pat Scott
75. pgscott
I'd like to rearrange my molecules with the away team and a mug of Romulan ale!

The mug would be cool.
Zach Kung
85. zachk

Metalstorm
87. PSUBryan
The flask would be great for tailgating.
Carl Freire
88. ohpopshop
Romulan ale is best served in a flask, even if you don't particularly need to have a drink to get over Miranda. Flask, please!
Metalstorm
89. Alexander K.
I'd love the flask. That way I can sneak real liquor 10-forward.
Metalstorm
91. chromiumman
would love the mug
Matthew Kuhl
92. pattonmat
The mug would probably be most useful to me.
Dale Flannery
93. dflannery
Just the mug (unless you have a bottle of Romulan Ale to go with it)
Daljit of NORN
94. Enforcer
Flask! It is super win! Now I just need to find some Romulan Ale...
Lila Fontes
95. lila927
The flask for me, please! Friends & I dressed up as Trek characters for Halloween and asked for Romulan Ale everywhere we went. One bartender said, sorry, he didn't have any Romulan ale, but could he suggest something? -- and then handed over a bright blue mystery drink. It tasted like the future!
Metalstorm
99. hohmeisw
Flask, please.
Metalstorm
101. Marsroever
Definitely the mug, not only because I'm an Classic Trek fan and a tea drinker, but also because it is really cool that Kirk, Spock and Bones magically disappear when hot liquid is added!
Metalstorm
102. Jmello
Ah. Classic Trek is so much better than the recent "reboot" and a mug with the originals on it is cooler than a Denebian slime devil.
Curtis Chen
103. sparCKL
That flask would be perfect for storing my daily ration of tranya.
Chris Battey
104. DarthParadox
It seems I'm starting a flask collection, and a Delta Shield flask would be an amazing addition!
Metalstorm
105. Mr. Gray
I ask for the flask.
Metalstorm
107. JAGill
love the mug,
Craig Botha
108. craig.b
My Johnny Walker will go nicely in the flask :)
James Butterfield
109. jimmyb
If picked as a winner
in the glow i'd bask
while sipping from
my new hip mug.
Metalstorm
110. shel99
Mug, please! I'd have it on my desk at school and impress all my students with my morning tea :)
Tom Sobieski
111. phoghat
I would like the flask because when I have to go to the Bloody Enterprise NCC 1701-D I don't want to have to drink "something green"
Metalstorm
112. WillAdams
I'd like the flask --- but a comment to those who get the mug --- don't microwave it, don't put it in a dishwasher --- be vary careful w/ it.
Ken Miller
113. jackatthekilns
I'd give my friend's right leg for that flask!
Ian Gazzotti
117. Atrus
That flask is awesome but I would never use it. So, put me in the mug camp.
Metalstorm
119. Steven Reinagel
Mugs tend to get broken around my house - the flask stands a Klingon's chance in the Neutral Zone.
YouDont NeedToKnow
122. necrosage2005
I'd love both, since I'm a fan, but if I absolutely have to pick only one, I'll pick the mug.

Tranylle Simmons

Ruth X
133. RuthX

Mug pretty please with cherries and chocolate sprinkles on top.
Anne Mathewson
156. AnneMath
It's Star Trek, and that's all that matters. However, we do have extremely harsh winters here, so the flask would be perfect to help stave off the cold.
Metalstorm
157. Lisa H.
I'm going to go with the mug, since the majority seem to be going with the flask. Better odds! It's logical!
Metalstorm
160. alanajoli
That flask *does* look Star Fleet Issue. And also classy.
Metalstorm
162. SonyaR
flask please!
Linden Wolfe
166. Lilith
That is a very beautiful flask.

But you can also never have too manycoffee cups.

Of course, the flask would have a better chance of surviving an overseas postage if I win.
Metalstorm

The mug!
Metalstorm
