Never any drama

Steely Dan: Time out of mind

Time for decaf!

“Maybe I better not introduce you to my crack rock collection.”

I was 8 and I dunked chocolate chip cookies in coffee until there was little left but a sugary sludge in the bottom, then I drank the sludge

Blame my mom and grandma, coffee and cookies were an afternoon visit ritual

Can’t see how Laura puts up with that family of hers!!

“Chasing the dragon”? Opiated coffee?

Better get her downtown so she can get her Amtrak Brandon free crack pipe, after all, she will be starting first grade soon.

She will know the dragon is chasing her when she walks to the shop for coffee before showering in the morning.

I’m thinking “chasing the dragon” is a little much. More like chasing a donkey. (Isn’t that what Juan Valdez uses to bring the mountain grown coffee down to the village for the Hills brothers?)

Little Loony!

It IS a gateway drug.

wow… 1st comic of the day and I learned something new: “Chasing the dragon”

Ah the joy and $ of being a Supertaster. We need no willpower at all to avoid coffee, alcohol, and tobacco.

Starts with the second sip though…..

I spend thirty dollars a month on decaffeinated espresso. Can you be addicted to something that reminds you of caffeine? :)

Movin’ toward that slippery slope.

Next he’ll get her on smoking.

I see a shakespearian role in store for her.

Coffee must taste better today. When I tried it fishing as a kid it tasted like hot mud.

She is all drama

But like a monkey on your back, you need it

But do you love it enough to leave it? Ah

I started at six. At home we used instant Necafe`, but had brewed at my grandparents. Dad’s folks used a Pyrex stove-top percolator, with 8-o’Clock Coffee. Mom’s used a stainless electric percolator with Maxwell House.

My parents would drink at least 2 pots of coffee before even thinking about starting their day. :They started me on coffee , mainly milk and some sugar with a little coffee when i was 5 or 6. I’ve been drinking it black since I was about 10. Most coffee shop coffee I find extremely weak and undrinkable compared to what I’m used to drinking at home.
