Coffee is the greatest thing in the world...next to Rocky of course.
I probably could give up drinking, smoking cigars and staying out late (and probably will at least slow down) but I'll never stop drinking tons of coffee.

I'm with Lardy in wishing coffee tasted as good as it smells.
On the other hand, I've gone to IKEA just to have a cup of coffee. They serve really good coffee.

I was feeling kind of lousy earlier today, so I went to a Starbucks, drank a Mocha, and perked right up.

We'll design a coffee drink called The Rockhopper, so we can appreciate both at the same time. I don't like iced coffee or dairy milk, so I'll go with hot black coffee in a glass, like Russians have their tea, with swirls of white rice milk. Don't know how you'd get rice milk to just swirl and not mix in, but this is all cyber anyways.

When I was in college I wrote a poem about coffee:
A sea which is murky and dark, Contained in a blue china cup, Doth rise in steam t'ward the stars Before the bottom's turned up.
Its waters are hot, so to burn the mouth, Yet many endure that sharp pain, For they need to be working by the ninth hour, Lest the task-master start to complain.
Its waters are bitter, so to make one cringe, Yet many ignore what they've tasted, For they need to be studying all the night long To make up for time that they've wasted.
Our people ignorantly imbibe Of the waters of the dark sea. Yea, I, even I, confess I enjoy A drink from the murky sea.
That sounded so much better when I was 20.

LW demands more of Rocky's post-modern Dylan-esque poetry about things like coffee and libraries!

It can be sung to the tune "Carol" ("It Came Upon a Midnight Clear"). We choir nerds do weird things when we're bored.

Try reading it aloud in a deliberate, measured tone.

This is as good a place as any to post this.
As I'm sure many of you know, Hurricane Ike is aiming towards the Texas Gulf Coast. I'm far enough inland that they recommend that I don't evacuate and, at the moment, I don't plan to bug out. If I lose power and/or Internet, I'll check in with another Legion Worlder by phone periodically, as possible.
If Internet and electricity hold, you'll just see a lot more of me this weekend, because, well, I won't be going anywhere.
I hope that in a few days, we'll all be saying "We dodged a bullet this time."
Thanks! John/Rocky
