Coffee shops historically have been a gathering spot for poets, artists and malcontents seeking a forum to espouse their views; which just happens to be the purpose of this community. So, let's have at it.

Coffee Quip - January 2008

Saturday's Coffee Break

January 27th 2008 05:09
Here it is, another Saturday and it’s snowing so much, that I can’t see our faithful gas guzzling SUV (Moosik) from the garage door windows. Occasionally, I hear belches as it (Moosik) quaffs another gallon of gas to let me know that it’s around, lurking somewhere under the shapeless snow pile in my drive way. Moosik stands ready, willing and four wheel drive able, to whisk Tisha and I off to visit exotic coffee shops in town, all two of them. But we’re convalescing from a grungy case of the wimpies, aka the blahs and a cold. Sigh.

Huh? Oh, sure, quips or whips, I'm beat either way.

Today it's Coffee vs Women .

- A cup of coffee always looks and smells good in the morning.
- Coffee never runs out after a quarrel.
- No matter how ugly you are, you can always get a beautiful cup of coffee.

Today’s news: Gazans breech Egyptian border, ... again
Breech births through fences are always problematic, now Israel gets an opportunity to share the experience with their Egyptian neighbors. What a thoughtful gesture. This situation is going to happen when good Palestinian folks run out of vitals, food, goats, flour, munitions, bath soap, ground coffee beans and camel milk for their morning café Palestinia (made the same way as an Americano-but with more gun powder and a bulldozer).

- If you put chocolate in your coffee, it doesn't put on weight and bitch.
- You can turn the pot on, leave the room, and it'll be hot, hot, hot when you get back
- You don't have to put vinegar in your coffee for it's pot to smell good.

Rogue trader held in French bank scandal
This guy is either a genius and I want to have him manage my future investments, after he’s been weaned from his penchant to lose money, as indicated by the whammy he perpetrated on France’s Societe Generale bank: he single handedly redirected the use of their $7 billion dollars to someone else.

Or, he is an altruist wanker in dire need of a colon cleansing to get his head unstuck so he can smell the roses and see the light, in which case, he can shovel used grounds for a living for all I care.

- A big cup or small cup? It doesn't matter, there's always plenty to stir you up.
- Coffee doesn't care what kind of mood you're in, as long as you don't care that it's hot.
- You can have an intelligent conversation with coffee, any time.

Do they make any anti-flu blends of cough-ee beans? My nose is running so badly that's it's refilled my cup twice since I started this post. Gross.

Yuk, perhaps I'll call another day when you're feeling better, is Tisha a member of actor's equity in which case I hope you pay her accordingly. What's that, she's not acting, well, you just may have a point there.

Hope you're both better soon, I don't have a cold.

Beware the demons of ill health.

Thank you kleo, it's fun to post here. Ah, Moose and Oosik married together become Moosik, an appropriate moniker for a true Alaskan SUV. Odd name for a cat however, but totally cool.

No point reading the comments on BBC about the border breach. Partisan logic has kicked in and the forum has been flooded with idiots ticking off idiots.

A table shall be reserved for you and guests, with your name Tracy, engraved on a two piece bronze plaque and held in a constant state of readiness for your exclusive use. Part of this plaque doubles as an entry key, so you may come and go at your leisure.

The cup or mug is a very personal and sensitive issue, so we'll just provide safe housing and washing for the cup or mug of your choice along with your personal stirring utensil.

Naturally your photo portrait will be hung in proximity to your table. Will you require any electrical service along with the free WiFi?

And please note that our ladies room facilities include a napping couch, heated toilet seats and masseuse on duty during normal working hours.

Welcome to the Coffee Quip; are you ready for a refill?

He he, that all sounds superb, Raven. I will be happy to pop in and out with my own key. I appreciate the couch in the bathroom too, sometimes that can be an exhausting journey.

Yes, another coffee would be great, thank-you.

Yeah, it can be troublesome when you have a coffee filled bladder and lack a proper area to vent, so to speak. Here's your refill, make yourself at home Tracy. Are the seat cushions comfortable? Raven

The cushions are perfect, thank-you. I love the colours.

Great, I'll let our interior decorator know, she's always curious how the decor impacts others and will be seriously pleased to know that all of the elements work well together. Thanks Tracy, you've made my day brighter. Raven

Hello Lara, we are getting over our colds, but poor Moosik got into some bad fuel and has been having exhaust problems for a couple of days. Yeah, we had wind storm warnings most of the night and part of the morning, gusts were projected to reach speeds up to 75 mph; but it didn't happen and the roof is still attached. So, we'll be napping, er... watching television shortly. Raven

Oh poor Moosik, when I suggested that I change his name to Mooshie, he popped a hubcap Kleo, and made a surely remark about my ancestry. Raven
