Coffee Weapon

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.

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,”

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..

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…
