It shouldn’t surprise me that someone named Homebrew is trying to get me to succumb to coffee, otherwise known as Satan’s Beverage[sup]TM[/sup].
I have few prejudices and active hatreds in life; they are carefully honed and perfected over time. Coffee, tomatoes, my wife’s low-cut shirts she insists on wearing to her office … don’t deprive me of these things that I love to hate.
Did you know that Saddam Hussein is absolutely addicted to coffee? Can’t do anything at all without drinking a cup? I find this information highly interesting, despite the fact that I just made it up.
I had a brief encounter with the same clerk this morning, because, once again, I was changeless. This time I intentionally did not purchase a blueberry and cream cheese Danish. He was still flustered when I got to the counter, though, obviously remembering his transgression from yesterday. After he’d rung up my purchase and given me my change, he accidentally hit the edge of the open cash drawer and knocked change everywhere. He was still standing there in shock as I walked out the door.
Dam you Sauron thanks to that rant I have the scene from VanWilder continuously playing in my mind…you know…the one with the errr…“contaminated” pastries?
::::: repeatedly slams head between door and frame to knock the image from my mind::::
You bought a Diet Coke so that you’d have change for the Pepsi machine. Then you bought a danish to rectify the low-blood sugar that the Coke can’t solve since it is diet.
You should have just bought a regular Coke and gone home for the day.
Well, actually, I bought the Diet Coke to get my caffeine fix. By doing that, I figured I’d have change for the rest of the week for the drink machine at work (three dollar bills plus a handful of change).
I didn’t count on having to stop by the grocery store last night on the way home, thus spending my three dollars.
However, I do like the way you think regarding regular Coke and going home for the day. I might have to start thinking along those lines.
Sauron, I’m with you on the diet soda instead of coffee thing.
But yeah, it’s not as effective with caffeine.
That’s why I must purchase a 32 ouncer every day at lunch from the cafeteria. They know me by my purchase. I swear if they offered a bigger cup, I’d buy it and drink it just as quickly.
It really suck when we get kneaded by strangers – happens all the time. :mad:
You are, of course, aware it’s a capital offense to mix up illustrious Denmark, paragon of nations – beauty of the world, with anything as lowly as the Netherlands. Probably there’s an execution team on your way right this moment.
My abject and heartfelt apologies to the illustrious nation of Denmark. The next time I tongue blueberry filling from my Danish, I will think longingly of you.
Damn You! I was enjoying this thread until your brought that up. Ryan Reynolds is one of God’s most beautiful creatures, but do I ever wish I’d never seen that scene. That was the most stomach turning thing I’ve *ever seen in a movie. <shudders>
