This Coffee Tastes Like...

UgH! COFFEE! Yeah, I’m a coffee ninny, this is an established fact, backed up and admitted to in writing. But sometimes, especially Monday afternoons, I need a mild jolt that only the dark potion can give.

And yeah, I brought it on myself, but this time I tried to be an adult about the amount of sweet appeal that I applied. Big mistake. I feel like a child being forced to take castor oil or Echinacea extract. This substance is not to be imbibed for pleasure. I am convinced of that.

Some say that it’s an acquired taste, like beer or cabbage. My response to that statement is that a person can get used to living next to a swine farm, too. Why you’d WANT to is beyond my comprehension.


So you cops, Coasties and insomniacs can have your black coffee…pass the sugar please, in a front-end loader.

I finished it like a man, though. A big sissy girly-man...

Unfortunately, your criteria can't be standardized to apply to both genders. Since I like coffee w/ sugar, how would I be labeled? A girly girl? Would that be a perjorative term, too?

Hmm, suppose I did drink coffee w/o sweetner, would I be a manly girl? Should that also be insulting?

The only way to win is to be an honest human being.

You go, uh . . . coffee ninny!!

perhaps I have 'no taste' because I love coffee...I suppose I'm a tasteless ninny........
p.s. I'm also fond of beer and cabbage won't say what that makes me though!

...come to think of it; do GM employees ever ford a stream or dodge a bullet? would you ever be able to call one an explorer? on an expedition? in durango, colorado?

this is clearly getting too deep. i'm going to dart out of here...
