Discussion thread for the "Polls only" thread (Part 2)

I’m not sure i understand what you are saying? Do you pass out if there is sushi or seared ahi or other undercooked fish on the table?

I vomit and have diarrhea if raw or less-cooked fish is at all off. Not worth it.

Lipton Crap is what the company provides in the break room at work, so it’s what I drink if I’m at work and I want hot tea. It’s probably not what I would choose if I was buying tea bags to make at home, but I do drink it if that’s what’s there.

Yeah, I’m embarrassed to admit that I drink that Lipton crap (or tetley).

I also occasionally drink hot cinnamon spice tea especially in the winter.

It is sometimes hard to find in stores.

I had this Orange Cinnamon tea from some place in Seattle in the back of Pike Place Mkt - great stuff, especially when brewed extra strong.

I drink tea regularly, but the poll doesn’t allow for my answer. I drink Irish breakfast tea – a strong black tea, and always have a box of Barry’s tea in the house.

That sounds delicious.

In addition to the ones already named:

Black tea/mint mix.
Throat Coat. (Which is what I’m drinking right now, as I haz a cold. I’m pretty sure it’s just a cold, but I Do Not Like having a cold. It’s the first one I’ve had since 2019.)
Other mints besides the specific one listed in the poll.
English Breakfast.
Occasionally something else altogether. There are a whole lot of teas in my cupboard.

Jasmine tea.

I got a Science Fair trophy in the mid-1970s (Junior High Shool). I haven’t seen it in decades, so I said I don’t own one.

I had a bunch of chess trophies but threw them out, but I may still have a paper certificate somewhere. It’s complicated.

Thirty-ish years ago I got a trophy in a tattoo contest.

Coincidentally, in an act of good sportsmanship, I shaved a competitor’s back in the men’s room right before the showdown.

For black tea, I prefer English Breakfast or Irish Breakfast.
For herbal, I prefer Lemon Zinger or Berry Zinger.
When I’m feeling posh, I like white tea.

I have one 20something year old trophy, and one 40something year old trophy.

I have the trophy I was given for “most improved” in swimming at camp somewhere around 1960.

I keep it because I was so ticked off about getting it. (I realize that doesn’t appear to make a lot of sense; but it’s true.) I was by far the worst swimmer in the class, and I knew it. They gave me the trophy, I suppose, because although it took all summer they finally got me to put my head under water; and possibly because they thought it would make me feel better. It didn’t make me feel better, it made me feel embarrassed – and pissed off.

(I did eventually wind up liking to swim, though I always liked it best when not in a class. I did take classes again in college, because at that point you had to pass some phys ed class to graduate, and they didn’t have any horses. I didn’t do spectacularly well in those classes, but I didn’t do spectacularly badly, either.)

This. People keep saying, “Trump voters are to blame for Trump winning.” Well, of course. That’s what they do. That’s like blaming bacteria for sepsis.

The solution isn’t to appeal to germs to stop being germy. It’s to develop better antibiotics or other defenses. Germs will always behave like germs.

Hmm, i voted i won a trophy 50+ years ago, but if a metal plaque mounted on wood counts, i guess i won a couple more recently, one perhaps 10 or 15 years ago.

So you’re saying we should kill off all the Trump supporters? I’m not convinced this metaphor is working…

I drink this :-

I don’t care. I ain’t proud.

Tea: Black - Yorkshire Gold
