Yeppers, that's the old cup and saucer grip. Don't see it much anymore because it really doesn't offer much. The purpose of a two hand grip is to maximize the friction between the pistol and the hands, and to minimize torque during recoil. The cup and saucer grip does neither, but hey, if you like it go for it...
Drink Tea while you shoot?

I could see that happening if you hand where kinda small or the grip was big. I'll have to experment with that.

Mike I'd say something about Lil Miss Tuffet,...and I'm glad it wasn't about coffee being "saucer'd and blowed"...
No I do hold my pistol that way . I have "cupped" my hand under lady students hand/butt of firearm to help steady in dry fire with a revolver to help steady as she 'walks the dime". Dryfire a semi " one dime at a time" I do this in live fire.( revo or semi) I will have student hold gun, align sights and I pull trigger...all part of teaching.
I don't do quiche...I do make one helluva of an omlet tho'...

Oh, Lordy, Lordy... Steve, that's too much! How on earth do you take an "omelette hold" on your pistol???
I like quiche. Half a million calories from butter, sausage, eggs, sausage, cheese, sausage and sausage, in a crust made out of butter, lard, and some sort of material to hold it together (possibly sausage?). How can that possibly be a bad thing?
I have to go now. My left arm really hurts.

I hold my guns and my teacups without prominent "pinky" action!
And, I do like tea!
My favorite brands are Twining's and Taylor's of Harrogate, in north Yorkshire. The first is widely sold in the US. The second, I get at Central Market stores in Texas, sort of gourmet grocery stores.
Try their sites. Twining's, in particular, has wonderful detail, including the history of the tea trade. (That firm has been around in London since 1706!)

www.yorkshiretea.co.uk
Hint: I find Twining's regular Darjeeling blend a little ephemeral, sort of the Coors of tea, and prefer the Darjeelings from Taylor's or Bigelow's, which is a US company. Their blenders go for a fuller flavor.
I suspect that my favorite tea of all is Twining's Ceylon Breakfast, or the estate-specific Ceylon teas from Taylor's, which aren't in bags; you have to use the loose leaves and strain. (Taylor's regular Ceylon blend is offered in bags.) But I also love a good Assam tea, which you can get from Twining's as Irish Breakfast. Taylor's just labels their's as region-specific: Assam. (Although both Assam and Darjeeling are in NE India, the teas are quite different.)
Taylor's better teas are named after the region of production, but their house blend, Yorkshire Gold, is also superb. So is their English Breakfast, which seems to have more Ceylon teas in the blend than does the equivalent from Twining's, which has a little "maltier" flavor.
My son stopped off in London on his way home from Iraq last year, and bought me a box of No. 14 English Breakfast at Harrod's, the famed dept. store. It reminded me a lot of Taylor's English Breakfast.
There's nothing wrong or effeminate about drinking tea. Probably every man who ever won the Victoria Cross drank tea! As did Jim Corbett, John Hunter, and other famous hunters of dangerous game in Africa and India.
Sometimes, I use milk, sometimes not. Good tea is delicious. Forget the bland stuff from Lipton, and try the above. I probably should have said more about Bigelow's, which offers good blends, although in general, I prefer the British brands.
Finally, Central Market is also selling a new American (Texan!) brand, The Original Ceylon Tea Company. Their English Breakfast Tea is as good as what the Brits blend! www.ceylon-tea.com As the name infers, they use all Ceylon teas.

Call me lucky! I come home to find my beautiful wife is making me a very yummy dinner: she's either reading this thread or can read my mind. Here's a picture of what's leftover from dinner. I'll be thinking about you during tomorrow's lunch.
Know a good cardiologist, Correia?

Since this is turnng into a cooking thread, not that there's anything wrong with that, I think it has run its course. Besides it's making me hungry.
