Back to the Future & Broken Teacups

As of today, I've completed the December Blogging Meme. This master post has links to all of the individual answer posts I did throughout December; if you have not seen your answer, it will either be linked there so that you can read it or struck out because I simply didn't get to it. My apologies for not being able to answer all of the topics

The McFly clan is my clan, too. ♥

[ajodasso]

Literally your clan, or your clan in the metaphorical sense? ♥

[jb_slasher]

Sadly, only in the metaphorical sense. Just expressing my love for them, as you do. ♥

[ajodasso]

Too right ♥ Although I seriously did wonder if maybe you were related to the actual McFly clan, who knows ;)

[ajodasso]

Oh, wow. Yes please. I'll read that with very great interest!

Sorry on the tea cup. Maybe one will turn up on ebay one day if you keep checking. But matching sets are overrated. It's nice to have a collection of different cups.

I've never seen BttF. I will have to.

Just watch all three films back-to-back-to-back next time you have a day to kill. It's worth the time :)

I second lavendertook; I rarely worry about matching tea cups.

My first thought what I'd do, if I did worry about matching cups, is use the whole one and the broken one in an artwork, maybe as simple as placing them side by side.

I was also thinking along these lines because of your next post (which I read first, as blogs go backwards in time :-) about Hawking and the broken teacup. Take a picture of the shattered one shattered; and then pictures of some of the larger pieces glued back together; then a pic of the complete one. There you go - return the shattered heart-cup to whole :D

My second notion was to see if another potter might make you a matching cup. But you or the potter(s) may feel this is an infringement on the original potter's style; or not even reproducible accurately enough.

Finally, there's make an eclectic collection of single tea cups, that may have some similarity in your mind. A collection of misfits that yet fit together somehow *g*

ETA: the bonus of non-matching cups is everyone knows whose is whose ;-)

Most of my cups are mismatched :) This set was special. It is one of only two sets in my possession with any kind of matching theme going on; they were just so...strange, so simple, so graceful. They were our wedding teacups. James mocked me for buying them, and then within three weeks they were his favorite teacups in the world. Seven years we used them. He's the one who shattered the cup, so that made it a bit more devastating. I have spent the past few days badgering people for leads on the potter, and just now, it's paid off. He's retired, but he has some cups left. He is going to let me know how many and quote a price.

The screenwriting is just so tight, ugh. And it accomplishes so much in relatively little screen time, even across three films. Truly admirable.
