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.

Hang Nails and No Coffee

August 3rd 2008 19:08
Oh darn, here it is, half past Sunday and neigh on to Monday. Geez, where did the weekend go? It was here just a minute ago. I have a piping hot mug of green tea, spiced with ginseng and dash of genuine artificial non-carcinogenic sweetener ~ I’m nearly ready to trudge off to the Coffee Quip and start my day. Unnngh . . . sorry for that, I was stretching. Are you an early riser or a night owl that doesn’t go to bed until the sun comes up?

As long as I can get a mug of hot tea or coffee to wake up with, I’m good, add the cat and Tisha and things really brighten up. I like to cruise the web for strange news when I first wake up. What about you?

Let’s see, ah, a singing and grunting fish, hmmm looks like dinner and entertainment. A dog is playing mom to three abandoned white tiger cubs, that’s a Kodak moment for sure. Clowns march to Basilica, to early for clowns. A koala bear struck by a car and stuck in a grill for a 7 mile ride, raw footage of the 2008 World Yo-Yo Contest, or Brett Favre reinstatement story: I’m going for the koala bear story. Wow, they had to give him pain killers to get him moving again, sounds like me in the morning, pre-coffee state of course.

Oops, hold up,
wow Chinese cheerleaders learning hot moves from Patriots' cheerleaders, way cool. Who’d have thought it possible. Oh yea, personal jet packs, I’ve just gotta have me one those $100K jet packs to go to work with, I’d be the envy of Coffee Quippers everywhere.

Quip n Credit

The other day I went to Starbucks for coffee and I was only in there for about 5 minutes.

When I came out there was a cop writing out a parking ticket. I went up to him and said, ‘Come on, man, how about giving a retired person a break’?

He ignored me and continued writing the ticket. I upped the ante and called him a ‘Nazi.’ He glared at me and started writing another ticket for having worn tires.

So I called him a ‘doughnut-eating Gestapo jerk.’ He finished the second ticket and put it on the windshield with the first. Then he started writing a third ticket. This went on for about 20 minutes.

The more I abused him, the more tickets he wrote.

Personally, I didn’t care. I rode to Starbucks on my bicycle. The car that he was putting the tickets on had a bumper sticker that said ‘Obama in ‘08.’ I try to have a little fun each day now that I’m retired.

My doctors tell me it is important to laugh!




What has the title got to do with this story?

Simply this: Never write a title before you've had your wake up beverage.

Life is good.

Raven

Thanks for that, Raven, I feel honoured. That's a nice way to start the week.

Uni is going well thanks, especially as I'm still on holidays at the moment. As much as I like it, it's nice not to live under that umbrella of study for a bit.

Byee

Seems Ravens can do everything, I'm still laughing, but my hot chocolate got cold.

Them's the breaks, we've already started our Monday here, more's the pity. Wake up my friend.

Oh, Raven, that dog and her 'puppies' are just so cute. No coffee? what is this, a strike and I've come all this way.

Notice anything.

Oh, dear, you men are all the same, wake up sleepy head and tune into the new Crystal.

Do you like sparklers?

Oh, dear, you still don't get it, just as well there's some females around.

At least now my feet have hit the ground, due to your disinterest. How long is it since you've been young? Yes, I rather thought so.

Oh sorry Crystal, I was sippin on some Stardust drive in delivered in a fibrous container coffee like stuff and trying to pry my eyes open when ya popped in. My bad . . . you were levitating are you been sprinkled by happy and in love dust or something?

That's to subtle for fellas to pick up on without a bill board sized hint in writing.

I was young just this morning, but I went crazy and did a touch toe and spoiled the moment.
