I am stone cold TWEAKED on coffee right now. Ask me anything.
Edited on Sat Feb-09-08 03:43 PM by CorpGovActivist
This is me right about now.



Usually, I'm more of a Butters, jumping happily in every puddle I can find. And driving my partner crazy when I do it. I can also "somehow manage to hit every pothole on the road," according to him.

:eyes:



I definitely have my inner Kenny, too.

<----- few ever see, but DU makes it feel safe

But right now, I am stone cold TWEAKED. So talk me down by asking me anything. And leave my damn underpants alone, you crafty gnomes!



- Dave

2. I dunno. I dunno. I dunno.
It's Starbucks, and my partner brought it home for me, figuring I hadn't had enough this morning, since he hogged the pot.

And he's gone back out running errands, so I can't ask him.

Bastard.

16. A Starbucks that still brews REAL coffee?!?
That alone would shock me into hyper-wakefulness!
(but if it was Starbucks it wasn't french-pressed).

41. My partner bought me a French press for Christmas. It's still in the box. I'm afraid.

3. How much did it take?
There was a time when I could drink two pots of coffee a day without speeding. Now two average cups can do it.

4. Three cups of the regular stuff, plus whatever the LARGE is at Starbucks. I refuse to learn...
Edited on Sat Feb-09-08 03:57 PM by CorpGovActivist
... those idiotic sizes. When did your tolerance drop off?

10. Not long after I quit that idiotic job.
Twelve hour days, six days a week made stimulants a necessity.

I don't know Charbucks sizes either. If I want a large coffee, that's how I order it.

15. My grandfather was an ornery cuss. Some rubbed off in those magical summers.
Curmudgeonly before my time, in all the important places!

19. Gormy doesn't mean ornery.
That's twice that you've made that mistake, Butters. No more coffee for you.

29. I may be gormy, but even I know about The Google.

It's a Maine thing. It means clumsy and awkward and probably not too bright.

6. I'd never had coffee until college, and very little tea. Coffee was for grown-ups, like how...
... my Paw Paw drank it in the mornings and evenings.

His dessert was my grandmother's cornbread (slightly sweet), soaked in a tall, wide-mouthed glass of milk.

He drank his coffee while the bread got right.

But no, I'm not Betty Fording this habit. Screw that.

13. "laundry? clever marketing? alchemy?"
Oh, this deserves its own thread.

Because my old college roommates and I have pondered this very question.

Multiple times. And you, my friend, have rung the bell of some of our answers.

42. Heh. You said Titicaca! Flashback to Purple Rain, rented, Christmas, 1986...
... and watched, at http://www.democraticunderground.com/discuss/duboard.php?az=show_mesg&forum=105&topic_id=7450572&mesg_id=7450572">Gary B.'s house.

I was about to turn 15; he was about to turn 18.

The Lake Titicaca scene led to a discussion of porn stashes. He had one. And we had his trailer all to ourselves.

24. Is it true
that since a cat always lands on it's feet and buttered toast always lands butter side down

if you tie a piece of buttered toast to the back of a cat, can you create anti-gravity?

38. I cannot take an existential question right now. I just can't.
:rofl:

As a child, I prayed not to be the Anti-Christ. I didn't think it would be fair. Everyone else had free will.

And what if you're all just a dream?

I hate you for going existential.
