Shitty Coffee

The topic is simply begging to be ridiculed - Coffee made from beans eaten and pooped out by civets.

No, really.

I bet every blogger from here to Indonesia has a joke ready for this one. One blogger even pulled this snippet from Austin Powers which made me laugh:

It seems more economical to do what I do, add a bunch of shit to your existing shitty coffee - Chocolate, sugar, steamed milk, mint, more chocolate... until it becomes drinkable. That is still a better value than $600 a pound for coffee made from civet droppings.

KTHXBYE,

First Milk Plus, Now Diet Coke Plus

Man, this is OLD news.
http://money.cnn.com/2006/12/08/news/companies/coke/?postversion=2006120813

I've been spiking my Diet Coke with a multivitamin for years. Every hardcore D&D-er / LAN gamer / 3rd Shifter / Time-To-Sleep-When-You're-Dead-er knows this trick. I only eat real food at my moms place for the holidays.

Thanks to Energy Fiend for the linkage....

Coffee Percolator

I wish I hadn't heard this. It sticks to the roof of your mind like, well, like something that isn't trite, utter shite.

Ok, so maybe it is trite. But to me, it's a case of people who can make a catchy song with an interesting video, while not taking themselves seriously. Unlike this video, which tries REALLY REALLY HARD not to take itself seriously, and the song sucks too.

Thanks to Neil Gaiman for the link...

...kind of.

Blood and Coffee

This conversation took place at work today. More or less. I don't actually remember much of it.

Coworker: "How's it going Conrad?"

Me: "mmmm...."

Coworker: "You take your coffee black?"

Me: "Yeah, it's the scalding heat and bad taste that actually keeps me awake. I'm immune to caffeine."

Coworker: "You know, maybe if you injected the coffee right into your veins it would work better, heh!"

Me: "mmm..."

Coworker: "That reminds me, I gave blood the other day, and I swear chocolate came out! heh! Have you ever given blood?"

Me: "I can't. My blood would kill a normal human being."

Coworker: "Really! How do you know that?"

Me: "Well, it dissolved the plastic bag they put it in, so now I'm on some kind of black list."

Coworker: "Wow, maybe you could sell it to some bioresearch company."

Me: "mm.."
