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.

Weekend Coffee Quip

Blind Golfer Hits a Hole-in-One

Can you believe this? A 92-year-old golfer hit a hole-in-one even though he is legally blind. Leo Fiyalko has been playing the sport for 60 years but now suffers from a degenerative condition leaving him with only peripheral vision in his right eye. The feat was his first ever hole-in-one. Howerver, as you can see, larger than average golf ball simulators were used to facilitate his visual problems. He still marvels that he was able to hit such small orbs. No eWoks were permanently harmed during the event.

Coffee Quips: or utterly useless things to ponder...

~If the police arrest a mime, does he still have the right to remain silent?
~If it's zero degrees outside today and it's supposed to be twice as cold tomorrow, how cold is it going to be?
~Light travels faster than sound. That’s why some people appear bright until you hear them speak.



Rio Dancers Samba until Dawn
and I can't stay awake past 9PM.

Brazillian beauties from RIO DE JANEIRO, wearing only sequins, led carnival parades lasting until dawn Sunday, as groups used this kaleidoscope of colorful dancers and floats to launch the biggest event of Rio's five-day bash, the world famous; 5 day Conga Snake line dance and grope.

Thankfully, the lechers were out in full force to keep a damper on the gala affair: tourist Edgardo Levita, dressed up as pirate, marveled at the scene as he swilled beer and tried to hit on scantily dressed young Brazilian women swarming into the stands.

Prior to his arrest for failing to tip local policia and other lewd conduct, he commented to no-one in particular, "This is great, the best in the world," said Levita, 23. "Alcohol, women, the floats: Everything is perfect."

More Quips? U R an addict if...

~you can live in a desert like a hermit, eating bugs for food, as long as you had enough coffee beans with you.
~you are convinced that the coffee bean is a health food.
~you go to the doctor because you're afraid there might be blood in your veins.
~you carry your coffee cup into the shower with you in the morning.


Well, some of us can't start our day without the news and brew to kick start our brains, I for one need more than that...

Raven, that last comment leaves a lot to the imagination, but I'll just stick to the iced chocolate but if you don't turn those pesky heaters on I'll have to go for hot chocolate to-morrow, talk about cost cutting and we're well and truly into recycling pictures, aren't we? even taking some of mine.

He he, I love this, Raven:

Sorry katyzzz, I didn't realize that I had gotten a hold of your photos, if I did, it wasn't intentional. I scour constantly looking for funny items or photos to make a point.

Tracy, It tickled me as well.

Thanks katyzzz, you really do come up with some good ones, photos or content, you're always welcome to use it.

Oh, wow, you know that's true Cibbuano, double ditto for me. Mardi Gras seems tame by comparison.

Me and a camera all the way. Raven
