Coffee Weapon

Don’t know why these happen but they do so here’s to more Styrofoam nonsense.

The boy who ate Styrofoam lived across the street from grandma.
Why are the little Styrofoam pieces called peanuts, he would ask?
I feel like my head is full of Styrofoam peanuts. grandma would say.
My grandma has these Styrofoam cups in her backseat?? Many, All double cupped n shit
I figured it was for that kid from across the street that eats Styrofoam.

He amused grandma. She would give him a task to make a crunchy Styrofoam brunch, colorful Styrofoam spheres, painted Styrofoam plates that sounds like a chimp when pressed together, strawberry Styrofoam shortcakes.

Using Upright Styrofoam wine shippers and U-shaped neck pillows, the kind filled with miniscule styrofoam balls. Topped with styrofoam boards and a styrofoam ball painted with a brush for the top.
eeeew styrofoam!! Grandma would say, crunchy! squeeky! Tasty! Only styrofoam lasts forever. This is my styrofoam reflection!

Many years later the boy who lived across the street from grandma would say he had won the battle with styrofoam! Why am I eatin ice cream off a styrofoam plate? he pondered on occasion. He had the exact same lunch as you!  Instant noodles in the styrofoam bowl makes me sad now. They taste like colourful diebetic styrofoam. I once ate a styrofoam easter chick maybe thinking it was candy. I may have been drunk. It had fake feathers. 12 years later, still no sign if it. its like a styrofoam taco with pasta inside!

I miss styrofoam fast food packaging. I miss grandma! Anyways, back to drinking my non-fair trade coffee in a styrofoam cup

It has been ages since my last post. I can only imagine the bizzarre coffee incidents that I have missed since then.. Even the spammers have given up on spamming me. Anyways, I’ve updated my wordpress to 2.8 which seems is a real clunker, as I write this from my dashboard I look down and see that I should now download the latest wordpress clunker as they fixed 790 bugs on the one I have. I think not.. This will have to do for now. My wordpress theme has got to be pre 2.0 or something. I switched it to something really cool but changed it right back. It had what looked like flying coffee across the page but I just couldnt get it to look right. Now I have a new theme I would like to implement but have not figured it out yet so we will see.
Anyways on to some Coffee news. I did a search recently and found to my amusment some coffee incidents have been in the news.

Black & Decker recalls 670000 Spacemaker coffee makers saying the machines could cause burns, this after 10 reports of burns. Nice, Black & Decker finally makes a coffee maker that makes hot coffee and what do they get for it. Makes me wonder if the thing explodes or 10 people tryed to drink directly from the coffee maker. You can find the story about it on the Los Angeles Times I’m sure.

Mercedes-Benz serves up virtual coffee, kinda. If it detects a drowsy driver, the system sounds a warning and lights up a coffee cup icon on the speedometer display.. So if you die from falling asleep at the wheel it would be a good thing to have a hot cup of coffee with you?  Why not just put a bed on the speed display.  Wonder what the warning is on this. Does it ask, “Are we stopping for coffee now.. are we.. are we.. over and over again? Actually that would probably keep you awake better then some light on your dashboard. Ah well, you can read moere at CNET News.

Google states that its multimillion-dollar solar array has generated sufficient electricity over the past two years to run 5158 of it’s $1500 coffee makers for one hour. Or 670000 Black and Decker Spacemaker coffee makers for 10 years. Ok that last part isn’t true but come on it’s Google. Google can do anything, right?

Woman Dressed As Man Robs Coffee Shop – A woman who dressed as a man robbed a coffee shop last Saturday night. The robbery occurred at Scooter’s Coffee Shop. Hmm I wonder, what if it was really a man dressed to look like a woman whos dressed to look like a man. That would probably be to ingenious for a person who would rob a coffee shop.  I’m sure those detectives are on it. hehe.. Scooters Coffee Shop. Yea.. KPTV.com

Cops stop commuters’ coffee routines…what gives? – “You can’t take that in there, miss. he said.” Right before he tazed her, making her coffee as hot as a Black & Decker Spacemaker 670000. I thought hard about this one, wondering where it could be that it was so totally unacceptable to bring a large iced coffee. I’m stumped and to lazy to look at the The Hudson Reporter??

Not to be outdone by Black & Decker, laceration hazard prompts Starbucks to recall coffee grinders – Starbucks has received three reports of hand lacerations when the product — sold as Starbucks Barista Blade Grinder and Seattle’s Best Coffee Blade Grinder is used as a fingernail clipper or something like that so look at Seattle Times – Melissa Allison – for all the gory facts.

So that seems like enough for now – So many coffee incidents so little time..

This caught my eye recently:

A crazy combination of events has led me to give up caffeine. Let’s call this Dopey Experiment No. 897.

She may have failed to mention she has a 3 pack a day cigarette habit. Read more about this here.

Denise Snodell: Coffee vs. sleep — the ZZZs have it

I..think, that in general:

That the Internet creates a great many ’speak first, think later’ dialogs.

That the safe anonymity of the Internet generally fosters thoughtless rudeness and unwarranted self-importance.

That because no one has to look someone in the eye, to insult them, they do so more freely, and more frequently, on the Internet.

That because all dialog on the Internet, is thru emotionless text, misunderstandings will run rampant and unchecked.

That emotions on the Internet are volatile, unreliable, misrepresented or even deliberately faked.

That because connections on the Internet are essentially ephemeral, few will take the time to explain themselves or understand where others are coming from.

That what happens on the Internet, has only as much importance to our real lives, as we chose to give it. That the importance we chose to give it, may not be reciprocated or have the same importance to someone else on the Internet.

Took off this past weekend to do some crafting at NJ Expo.

Had some coffee from a coffee machine and I have to say it wasn’t so bad. Better then the Wawa. I tried the hazelnut from there and it’s not so good. I think they go to heavy on the oils. I recommend sticking with the Regular blends from there. Folgers for breakfast, drink half before anyone gets some. No other coffee of note in Jersey this time, other then the coffee I had at the diner. Wait never offered a second cup, guess she figured it was 10:30 pm and I wouldn’t want another. Same thing at a Olive Garden but it was only 6 pm. I had to drink morning coffee when we got home.

On my trip back to my home praying that the ball joints hold out I stopped in the Saratoga area. I usually can get to maplefields but the truck won’t go as far. Anyway.. I needed gas and a bathroom break from the morning folgers. Many choices DD was right there off the thruway but no I tried what looked like a local convience/gas place. Gas up and went in to find a pretty good selection of coffee, they sold their share. Got a hazelnut 16 papercup, lotica cover, those are the kind that are ready for sipping. from Bengal Traders. Never tried them.. Gotta say coffe was hot and flavour was of good quality. Wait took my money and I was off. Without her saying a word to me.. Ok I will give this place a break as they had a gasoline situation in the second bay. Two girls were outside doing their best to sop it up. While the old guy that did the dirty deed waited inside. enough already.. til next time
