Ladies and gentlemen, please rise for the Supreme Coasters.

We here at Whiggy Tease reckon that when most attorneys gaze upon themselves in the mirror, they see a future U.S. Supreme Court Chief Justice looking back at them. It’s probably the same for judges and the majority of law professors.

We assume this phenomenon is even more likely to occur when alcohol is involved.

Having said all that, what do you get your favorite attorney, judge or law professor for Christmas or an upcoming birthday? Or perhaps as a graduation gift? Is there something Whiggy Tease could do for you?

Oh yes there is.

You may approach, and you may start buying the well-focus grouped Supreme Coasters. We have lovely tile coasters of all seventeen – or eighteen, depending on how you view history – Supreme Court Chief Justices in American history.

Listen to this red hot rhetoric from our vendor: Liven up any room or party with our fun, hip tile coasters, measuring 4.25” x 4.25” and 1/6-inch thick. Images are applied with a polyester resin that accepts dye as part of the coating. Four felt pads protect your furniture from scratches. Dishwasher safe. Not for use with abrasive cups and mugs.

You probably shouldn’t be using abrasive cups and mugs, anyway.

We designed these with beer in mind, but Attorney Mike A. had this suggestion: "If you've ever wanted to apply steaming hot liquids to the face of your least favorite jurist, here is your chance!"

So there you go. Buy them because you have a Chief Justice you love, or buy them for those you hate. Either way, your money is good with us.

There have been seventeen men who wanted to be Chief Justice of the U.S. Supreme Court. Then there was William Cushing. He had no interest in the job, but President George Washington appointed him to Chief Justice… or tried to appoint him.

Cushing turned him down. While he liked being on the Supreme Court, he didn’t want the Top Job. Some folks feel Cushing was actually Chief for three days before he realized it or got around to quitting. Others feel since he never accepted, he was never really Chief.

It’s a great topic to discuss over beer with your law buddies. See how this works?

Fat. Phat. Fatt.

As the sun rose on Whiggy Tease Nation this morning, many of you awoke and asked the following question: What the hell is this new Whiggy product line about?



Let us tell you.

In doing research on the U.S. Presidential election of 1908 – because nothing sells more than Decision 1908 swag – we came upon not once but twice a banner advertising something called the “Dayton Ohio Fatt Men’s Taft Club.”

Of course, we were delighted. So delighted, in fact, we designed an entire line around the banner design. What you see is basically what the banner looked like.
The Fatt Men's Taft Club - it’s so strange and awesome on different levels.

First is the spelling of FATT. It’s not the 1908 version of the 2005 word “PHAT.” A little research shows that it is an anagram of TAFT. Which in convenient, as President William Howard Taft was quite big. This only would have worked better if his last name would have been Seebo, you know what we’re saying?

Or Bardtfoul.

Perhaps even more awesome is the willingness of Taft’s supporters to make fun of their candidate’s girth while making fun of their own. You don’t see that in today’s politics. We mean, there is no “Springfield Illinois Men Incapable of Speaking without a Teleprompter Obama Club,” nor is there an “Eagle River Alaska Women who Love Stripper Shoes Palin Club.”

We’re not suggesting there should be, mind you.


We are suggesting that you get your credit cards out and start shopping, because you want to look nice on your first day of school. Plus, we want to be millionaires, as we have plans for the money already.

It's always Ladies Night here at Whiggy Tease




No, you aren’t just imagining things. All of the Whiggy Tease products designed specifically for the ladies are less expensive than the products for men, children or pets.

Let’s be absolutely clear. The stuff for men, children and pets has not been marked up.

However, we lower the price significantly for the ladies. Because that’s how we roll here at Whiggy Tease.

Look, we could buy ads to promote our stuff. Or, we could make our products more accessible to the pretty ladies, and let them sell it for us.
