Monday morning I awoke to no coffee in the house. I figured that I could easily get a cup at the local 7-11 on my way to work. I quickly dressed and went off.

Standing behind me in line was an elderly gentlemen who decided to strike up a conversation with me. He started out by asking me politely how I was doing that day. I told him, just fine and thanked him for asking.

He kept staring at me... I started feeling rather uncomfortable. Then he said that I was looking rather attractive in the sweater I was wearing. I started thinking...okay... this is creepy... :( and wished the line up would move along faster.

Well the gentlemen persisted and said... I hope you don't take this the wrong way.... (I was thinking, Oh god, shut up creep)... but your sweater is on inside out, I just thought I would let you know...unless that is the way you want to wear it!!!

I burst out laughing... sure enough there I was standing in 7-11 with my sweater on inside out. I laughed so hard. Another guy behind him said "I was gonna say something but thought I might embarass you... I just figured you hadn't had any coffee yet by the size of the cup you have in your hand.

Needless to say, I paid for my coffee, went to the washroom and did a quick change... Gawd I was embarassed!:eek:

Moral of the story for me, is NEVER EVER run out of coffee. :)

It is by caffine alone that I set my mind in motion.
It is by the beans of Java that my thoughts aquire speed.
The hands aquire shaking, the shaking becomes a warning.

Have you recently watched Dune or something? I think this is the second alusion to it, from you, that I have seen today. :D

As to the subject at hand:

Hello, my name is Troy and I am a caffeinaholic.

I have, in addition to my several mornign cups of coffe, resorted to either iced coffee or Red Bulls after work as well.

There are worse things we could all be addicted to.

And I can't drive by a Starbucks without stopping...if anything just to get a good whiff of the place.

I love Starbuck's. I love a cup of coffee that grabs you by the collar, *****-slaps you across the face and screams "WAKE UP YOU MISERABLE CUR!!!"

I find that gets my heart started in the morning.


Regards,


Steve

Yeah, I'm not caffeine-free, though I usually go for the caffeine-free soda when it's available.

Arni's from Buffalo.....our snow hasn't been pure in over 200 years!

:D

I drink cappichinos, but can't stand coffee. Only drink it when I have migraines.
Usually, I'm a tea drinker.
