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 - May 2008

R U Joking . . . No Coffee Beans?

May 16th 2008 01:34
G’morning my fellow caffeinated friends, I had a horrific and troublesome night mare last night; it may have been the result of internet jogging. I was trying to find out why there were so many worldwide grain shortages, wheat, corn, rice and hopefully not coffee beans, a staple of life you know.

Well, OK, so coffee beans weren’t really on the list, but what IF? The thought strikes fear and trepidation into the heart of this fellow. Shudder. But, the report that initiated my fears was old stuff based upon Columbian 07 – 08 harvest projections, the coffee beans made it through OK, but the cocoa productions suffered set backs and I could care less ~ but, cut into my morning cafι latte, and there will be feathers flying.

Oh, and speaking of flying, I took a tumble and wrecked mayhem upon my wrists and knees: gotta get the hands repaired as a result, so recipes and things may be slow in coming for a bit.

For you over caffeinated Lexophiliacs:

• A bicycle can't stand alone because it is simply two-tired.
• What's the definition of a will? It's a dead giveaway.
• Time flies like an arrow. Fruit flies like a banana latte.
• A backward poet writes inversely inverse.
• In democracy it's your vote that counts; in feudalism, it's your count
that votes.
• A chicken crossing the road is truly poultry in motion.
• If you don't pay your exorcist you get repossessed and quickly.
• With her marriage the bride got a new name and a dress.
• Show me a piano falling down a mine shaft and I'll likely show you A-flat
minor.
• When a clock is hungry it goes back four seconds, occasionally thirds.
• The man who fell into an upholstery machine is now fully recovered.
• A grenade thrown into a kitchen in France would result in Linoleum
Blown-a-part.
• You’re going to feel overloaded with your debt if you can't budge it.
• Local area network in Australia: the LAN down under.
• He often broke in song when he couldn't find the key.
• Sadly, every calendar's days are numbered.
• A lot of money is tainted. 'Taint yours and 'taint mine.
• A boiled egg really is hard to beat.
• He had a photographic memory which was never developed.
• A desert plateau is a high form of flattery.
• Remember, those who get too big for their britches will be exposed in the end.
• When you've seen one shopping center you've seen a mall.
• Those who jump off a Paris bridge are in Seine.
• When Ms Lohan saw her first strands of gray hair she thought she'd just
dye.
• Usually bakers trade bread recipes only on a knead to know basis.
• Santa's helpers are short subordinate clauses.
• Acupuncture is a jab well done.
• Marathon runners with bad footwear often suffer the agony of defeat.

Try this After Dinner Spiced Coffee ~ do it now and have one for me as well.

Ingredients:
• 1/4 C. white crθme de cacao
• 1/4 C. amaretto
• 1/4 C. light rum
• 1/4 C. whipping cream
• 1 ½ tsp. powdered sugar
• 3 C. strong hot coffee, sweetened to taste
• Ground Cinnamon

Preparation:
Combine the first three ingredients, set aside. Beat whipping cream until foamy, add sugar and beat until soft peaks form.
Pour 3 tablespoons of the liqueur mixture into each of 4 mugs. Add 3/4 C. coffee to each mug. Top with whipped cream and sprinkle with cinnamon.

C'ya Later, I've got to go soak my hands in iced coffee until the pain subsides.

Love the jokes, it's so funny about your hands, now, pussy cat, that last coffee is vying with my computer art, but stick with the sepia, colours bring it on.

But competition is open to all and challenge me too much I just might start making coffee.

Lucky I don't drink it, isn't it?

So good of you to care about the rice shortage.

Thank you Hazel, your offer is very kind. This incident with the wrists and hands happened about a week ago, and the ache drives me batty. Was very happy to see you posting, phew. Orthopedic surgeon will look things over in the middle of June - they're VA doctors.

Wowch, yes katyzzz, ok....got it. Hahaha, when I found the photo I thought of you immediately and felt you'd appreciate it. You're always welcome to have a go at the coffee industry....post away dear lady. You and Hazel could probably drive this up in ratings on niceness alone.

Sorry to hear about your injury, Raven. No wonder you had nightmares last night.

Maybe you should put your feet up and let Hazel serve you some delicious cake? I had some last week and now I'm back for more, yumm.

It really is good Amy, give large mug of it a try. The fun is trying to drink it without disturbing the bloom for as long as you can.

A world without coffee?! Perish the thought! Certainly MY world without coffee wouldn't be a pretty place! (Great latte art in your header, BTW.)

Thanks Glenn, and it'll help prevent Alzheimer's as well, a plus for us dependent upon our wits to earn a living; really, who wants to attempt that half armed?

I hate to say it, but may I have a hot chocolate with that lovely drawing on the top. Oh, just got the art, the half face, he he, and thank God Andrew does not look like that dude you dragged out from the "street shelter under the bridge" but rest easy my friend in your cat's cradle, don't worry about the hair, it looks like a wig to me so you need only bring it out on special occasions, did Pussy choose it herself or did you take her to the design studio?
