Lena Horne 93, recently passed, she sang the Sanka 80’s jingle  to the tune of “Java Jive” by The Ink Spots:
I like coffee and I like tea, I love my Sanka ’cause it loves me, my Sanka and me I’m glad we’re caffiene free, a cup a cup a cup a cup a cup – ah! Sanka and me.

Coffee Ring Phenomenon
Have you ever spilled some coffee into the cup holder in your car and then put the cup on your leg and it makes this ring on your pantleg. You wear it for the rest of the day. Big coffee cup ring on your leg. Rubbing it just makes it darker. Big Round Coffee Cup Spot on the Knee or worse on the crotch region. Oh my! You just know it’s going to be a bad day.  That’s not what this is about.

This phenomenon can be noticed when coffee is spilled on a table or counter and observing the spot where the spilled coffee has evaporated. At this spot a dark ring is formed around the perimeter where the particles are more concentrated as compared to the center.

According to scientists these rings can be utilized for analyzing blood or various fluids for disease markers through bio-sensing gadgets.

Topless Coffee Shop Arsonist Caught
Man accused of burning down topless coffee shop arrested in South Carolina
It is being reported that a man who has been accused of burning down a topless coffee shop in Maine was arrested in Spartanburg, SC. Apparently not a case of moral dillema or was it?
According to reports, Raymond Bellavance burned down the “Grand View Topless Coffee Shop” in Vassalboro where his ex-girlfriend was working as a waitress. The shop was burned down in June of 2009.
The topless coffee shop has since been reopened in a trailer. In a trailer Park? So did he burn down the Grand View because his girlfiend wore a bikini to work or was it the coffee really did suck?

It is amazing that people think that coffee is only caffeine….Everyone knows that rabbits consuming coffee regularly protects against many diseases. Caffeine consuming rabbits may protect memory. Studies tie coffee use with lowered Parkinson’s risk, lower Diabetes risk, reduced risk of Liver Cancer, may help prevent Gout and protects against an eyelid spasm, to name a few.

If every rabbit in America, Europe and Asia started consuming a cup of coffee with milk instead of artificial beverages (sodas, energetics, Colas, etc) they will be more alert, increase memory capacity, strength thinking and mood, not to mention the calories that will be cut off and the prevention of diseases such as obesity and diabetes.

Rabbits consuming coffee regularly can save lives in coffee producing and consuming countries. Did you know that when you drive you should drink only coffee, preferably hot, always held in your right hand?

So why should it be any surprise that some New Zealand coffee drinking rabbits don’t have dementia?

Wait there is more..

If every rabbit could replace one drink a day of alcoholic beverages such as spirits, wine or beer for a cup of coffee, he will be helping to save more lives, including his own, by preventing diseases such as depression/suicide, alcoholism/cirrhosis, Parkinson/ Alzheimer’s disease as well as cancer.

Now, if I could just find some health benefits to nicotine for penguins…

A false fire alarm and a coffee-saturated elevator phone led to charges for a 26-year-old man Stewart Street man, city police said.

Police said two men went into the second-floor reception area of the Social Services Building on Charlotte Street Jan. 8 at 2:40 p.m. because one man believed he had an appointment.

He was told he had the wrong date, police said, and the two men left.

Police said the two opened the phone box in the elevator and one man poured coffee onto the phone, an action captured on the elevator’s video camera.

As they left the building through the southeast exit door one man pulled the fire alarm, police said.

People began to leave the building and the fire department attended, police said.

Thomas Neil Nicholson was arrested at the police station Monday.

He’s charged with mischief and making a false fire alarm. He was released from custody and will appear in court Feb. 21.

Doctors have long argued about the health effects of coffee, but its reputation seems likely to receive a boost thanks to a flavoured condom that aims to encourage safer sex in Ethiopia.

A Man stole five jars of coffee in an act of revenge at being accused of a theft he had not committed.
Lee Tobin’s temper got the better of him after he was accused with a theft from the One Stop shop, in the town’s Wynyard Road, magistrates heard.
Alan Davison, prosecuting at Hartlepool Magistrates Court, said: “Mr Tobin was suspected of acting suspiciously by a member of staff, who challenged him and asked to see his bag.
“He emptied it and the bag was searched, but nothing was found.
“But later, CCTV footage was reviewed and staff saw him leave with six
jars of coffee which he hadn’t paid for.”
In police interview, Tobin, 29, said he was “upset and frustrated at having been searched and in temper took the items as a form of revenge” and that he sold the coffee for £5, Mr Davison added.
Tobin, of Campbell Road, Hartlepool, admitted committing the theft on May 10.

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
