Coffee Weapon

Hong Kong actor Moses Chan just released a coffee-table book about coffee “My Coffee Guide”. He was a former soft-porn actor and model. He’s gone on to become an A-lister on Asian TV.
Moses dreams of coffee and would always remind himself to take a coffee break no matter how hectic life is.
“This is what I do – I open up the Hong Kong map and I pinpoint where the coffee spots are, I visit them and I share what is good and what is not. I did that while I was filming like, three dramas back-to-back.”
“For me, when there’s a really, really big decision to make, I’d just hold on and enjoy my cup of coffee.”

Nonsense about styrofoam, lol
Went to Wally World and was carrying around a styrofoam sword. It got bad when I couldn’t get the bacon bits cuz the sword didnt allow me to.

o shield from the sufferance plauging the others. styrofoam plates, cafateria tables charity reeks of cheap wine and pity .

I just ordered a drink because the only option was a styrofoam cup, Hot side hot, cool side cool, and styrofoam destroys the environment.

Dessert can’t touch the brownies you made, and now she’s icing a styrofoam cake.You could test this doomsday omen by bringing in some frosting-covered styrofoam to see if they notice

Surprised, I see the styrofoam cup’s tremor in nothing but the wind. Hopefully, that is a waffle cone that you are craving. The others are like Styrofoam & only good w ice cream.

Question of the day: Styrofoam or Paper coffee cups? Almost had 2 go on top of the roof 2 get a styrofoam airplane. Pouring happiness into little styrofoam cups. The rest of my day will consist of paint and styrofoam.

Was I wrong to walk out of a local gas station because they only had Styrofoam cups for coffee?

Sophie Black wrote an amusing story down under in the Crikey bunker, “Do you love takeaway coffee more than the planet? Try this cup”

It’s about working at the crikey.com.au., which is just funny to begin with. At the crikey, Australian environmental commentators weigh in on policy, greenwashing and news. *Greenwashing? Possibly a term only an Australian enviromentalist would know. Anyways, It’s a review of a reusable plastic coffee cup, thud.. yes that will go over well at an envirmentalist blog.

She writes. “Sure, it’s not very cool to carry your own plastic cup to the counter, but at least it’s a pretty colour. And what’s cool compared to all those extra trees? Try telling the dead Amazon you’re too cool.” Sophie, carrying a tray full of designer coffee cups definatly cool, sorry thumbs up!

The Crikey team all chose a natty colour combination each and then dutifully selected their beverage of choice by penning in the corresponding coffee menu item on the rubber band that encircles the cup (two uses: ensures the cup is not too hot to hold and means you can personalise your cup.

Then they review the cup.

*Greenwashing is a term used to describe the practice of companies disingenuously spinning their products and policies as environmentally friendly, such as by presenting cost cuts as reductions in use of resources. It is a deceptive use of green PR or green marketing. The term green sheen has similarly been used to describe organizations that attempt to show that they are adopting practices beneficial to the environment.

“Crikey, it was only a dollar last time I was here!”

More Viagra Coffe turns up, again in Asia.

KUALA LUMPUR: A direct-selling company marketed a coffee mixture with a secret ingredient which guaranteed to “perk up” drinkers. The secret ingredient was sildenafil, more popularly known as Viagra.
The company used individuals to distribute the product in small quantities to evade detection by authorities, he said. “Investigations revealed that the distributor attempted to mislead the public by claiming that the coffee mixture could provide an energy boost, besides being beneficial for men,” the spokesman said.
Those who consume sildenafil without a doctor’s prescription run the risk of headaches, stomach aches, hearing loss, vision impairment and muscle pain.

A state Senators trip to the lounge for a snack ended with him being tallied as voting with the Democrats.
Around noon, Sen. Frank Padavan (NY-R) walked through the back of the Senate chamber to fetch some coffee from the senators’ lounge as 31 Democrats were convening a regular session. They contend that his brief appearance provided the 32 members needed for a quorum to conduct business and began passing bills. “My only motive was to get in the lounge and get a Coke or cup of coffee,” Padavan told Newsday. He ended up with a Coke, a V-8 and a tuna fish sandwich. Senate clerk Thomas Testo said he marked Padavan as present. Under Senate rules, a member marked present is assumed to have voted “yes” on all noncontroversial bills unless they say “no.” “We passed critical legislation that we expect the governor will sign,”
