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

Morning's without coffee is what, ...mourning?

January 17th 2008 00:31
While sipping my morning latte' and browsing the news, much to my surprise, I see that Sylvester Stallone has put out another Rambo movie, flaunting his steroid enhanced butt, will this never end? If we have to suffer another Rocky movie, maybe we should ask him to star in a remake of 'One Flew Over the Cuckoo's Nest; he’s apparently living the life now.

- Breakfast without coffee is like Rambo without ammo.
- Rambo died last week, again. Caffeine must really bring you back to life. Go figure.


Well so much for watching cable news in the morning. It’s so biased and propagandizing anymore that it is disgusting. Our newscasters are nearly all attorneys now, which suggest that they have been directed to selectively parse the news in a way that is compatible with the agenda their network is supporting. Commentators spin the truth to conform to this agenda and most of the audience is to numb or unable to do their own research.

- Cable news: Chock full of nutz and caffeine bloated casters of news.
- Defensive news weapons; Coffee and Danishes with the dawn.


Spinning the truth, what many pundits now call creative truth telling, we called lying in the past. A phenomenon of modern politics, when asked a direct question, many politicians won't give any specific answer(s) anymore, that way they can't be pinned to their response. We all need to practice critical thinking, or quit bitching when the loonies run the asylum. Ask the Peter Jennings fan club about this, and bring a psychic to hear his answer; his coffee wasn't strong enough to revitalize his life or career.

- Coffee falls into the stomach ... ideas begin to move,
things remembered arrive at full gallop ... the shafts
of wit start up like sharp-shooters, similes arise,
the paper is covered with ink ... and Balzac has quaffed.

-Coffee, which makes the politicians appear wise, as he sips noisily with half shut eyes and mute button barely disguised.


Anyone for another slice of life: How do you drink coffee while wearing a burqa?

Surely you're not thinking of putting that garment on before imbibing are you Ravenette?

I'm more concerned with what it symbolizes more than the partaking of substances.

katyzzz... this is the quip place, isn't it?

Naw, it was just rhetorical questions katyzzz, the person under the burqa has beautiful eyes, and how would she handle hot or large beverages. And is indeed a burqa veiled quip. hahaha, ravenette, ravenesque or ravenous it's all quip-able.

And, katyzzz. I put the burqa veiled lass in because of her(?) nice looking eyes and because Tisha was reading over my shoulder, of course.

Hiya Dusk Devi, we're fine in this camp, I sincerely hope that you and yours enjoy the very best 2008 has to offer.

I take it you rank some news anchors alongside their boat anchor cousins as well. They disappoint me deeply. Raven

How do you drink coffee while wearing a burqa?

Actually I was on holidays in Malaysia and was sitting next to a woman in full burqa. She was having coffee (tea?) and she had to lift up her burqa slightly, put the cup through without spilling and drink it like that and then slowly bring the cup out without spilling.

Must be such hard work!

Hello Amy, I think a straw would have been a better solution. When I am in SE Asia, I see the coffee/tea problem often and it amazes me the solutions found to circumvent the confines of a burqa. Raven

Ravenesque is a bit of a worry, wise woman that Tisha. She's got your number.

Fun read, Raven Gotta say, the coffee does help to block out the media *hype* that early in the morn..., just as it does to send a jolt to the brain...!

Living in sydney has given me an appreciation for good coffee.

In Canada, depending on where you work, you get free coffee, but it's percolator coffee with creamer.

bleaugh!

Cibbuano, not my favorite either; Canadian and Alaskan free coffee isn't usually fit to drink after the first 5 minutes of brewing.

Hahaha, Bryn, I stand with you on that choice.

Thanks for visiting, always good to see you.

Ooooh...I know what u mean Cibbuano and Raven. I was recently in the US...and I was seriously hankering for my Sydney coffee! The closest I found -- after walking 3 blocks in blistering winds, a cafe serving Illy coffee!!...but it still wasn't the same...

Lara, I have finally learned to carry a coffee press and coffee with me when going out of town for more than a day. It helps keep the need to unleash pre-coffee mayhem down to a roar.
