"Happy Mornings" is kind of freaky.
That sounds like a good combo. Like flan and cafe con leche.
Sounds good.
But I liked the taste of it "straight up" too. I have weird tastebuds.
I'd have to be tempted with a lot of money before sipping that stuff. Civet coffee was brought to my attention when Dave Barry wrote in a column about "weasel poop" coffee.
Any coffee bean that's been treated like that is off limits for me.
Early today, I don't usually see this thread for another 3 hours, what's the occasion?
Thanks for that Folgers thing. I just unleashed it on the officemates. I got a hugh kick out of it's effect on 'em (considering I'm a non-coffee-drinking morning person).
You remember the coffee scene in "Back to School"? Rodney Dangerfield is trying to stay awake and study for his oral exams, and is making coffee while half asleep. I may hnot have this totally correct, but here goes:
He puts creamer in the cup, licks his hand, shakes sugar on it, licks the sugar off of his hand, then takes a big "swig" out of the jar of instant coffee, followed by a bug-eyed expression.
Wish I could find a picture, but I cant.
Hmmmmmm.. Coffee...........
I just knew Helen doesn't shave her back!!
ouch!! painfully disgusting image
and you WONDER why you are an insomniac????
Once, I brewed water. I set everything up and forgot to put the basket with the coffee in it in the coffeemaker. See, I needed coffee to think straight to do that right, so I screwed it up. I got a nice pot full of hot water.
That was about the time I started setting it up the night before and using the timer thingie.
EEEEEWWWWWWWWWWW!!!!!!
The elephant seemed distressed so the man approached it very carefully. He got down on one knee and inspected the elephant's foot. There was a large thorn deeply embedded in the bottom of the foot.
As carefully and as gently as he could, he worked the thorn out with his hunting knife, after which the elephant gingerly put down its foot. The elephant turned to face the man and with a rather stern look on its face, stared at him. For a good ten minutes the man stood frozen -- thinking of nothing else but being trampled.
Eventually the elephant trumpeted loudly, turned and walked away.
The man never forgot that elephant or the events of that day. Twenty years later the man was walking through the zoo with his teenaged son. As they approached the elephant enclosure, one of the creatures turned and walked over to where they were standing at the rail. The large bull elephant stared at him and lifted its front foot off the ground, then put it down. The elephant did that several times, all the while staring at the man. The man couldn't help wondering if this was the same elephant.
After a while it trumpeted loudly; then it continued to stare at him.
The man summoned up his courage, climbed over the railing and made his way into the enclosure. He walked right up to the elephant and stared back in wonder.
Suddenly the elephant trumpeted again, wrapped its trunk around one of the man's legs and swung him wildly back and forth along the railing, brutally killing him.
It probably wasn't the same elephant.
The latest celebrity on television is a Russian, going by the name of Rudolph, who has taken the weather forecasting world by storm. He seems to have an incredible and uncanny knack of not just getting the forecast correct, but being amazingly accurate, sometimes even being able to tell where the rain will fall down to the nearest mile or so.
His fame was enhanced by his personality - being Russian, he had some unique turns of phrase. He was also a fanatical communist.
One day, one of his younger fans was watching with his parents. Young James turned to his mother, and asked "How does he manage to get the weather forecast so good?"
His mother thought for a bit and said, "I'm not sure, but one thing's for certain - Rudolph the Red knows rain, dear."
