Way back when it seems that I remember reading something to the effect that mugs would be given to the first 5000 or so folks renewing their memebership. I called HL to see if I was due for renewal. I wasn't, had one more year left on my membership. I then asked if I could renew a year early (in order to get the mug). I was told, "No, but if your membership is current you'll get the mug."

Well maybe the mugs just ran out????
