Last Christmas my mother-in-law gave me this strange coffee mug.
She knows I like paintball and was very excited to give this to me, saying that she had "looked everywhere" for it.
I'm honestly pretty perplexed by this thing as I'm not familiar with the slogan in a paintball context.
Is this from some sort of paintball-related media that somehow someone like my mother-in-law would be familiar with, but I'm not? Like one of the paintball-related episodes of "Community"? It certainly isn't an expression I've used around her.
The artwork appears to be a 16-century woodcut depicting descriptions of cannibalism in Brazil, if that helps anyone.
My initial guess is that this was some sort of custom-printed thing but my mother-in-law lives way out in the country and has no computer- going to Redbubble or Vistaprint is pretty far outside her MO. There is residue on the bottom of the mug from what I'm guessing was a price tag but there's no identifying marks anywhere else on it, inside or out.
Given her enthusiasm in giving the gift, asking her where on earth this is from would have been cruel, so I've just been left to ponder how this thing came to be.
Any help would be appreciated.
