Yacht Rock was all over FRM long ago.

You mean ILX.

But yeah, it's great.

xpost-The internet isn't delivered to Madison on a regular basis.

I think I got that horror on mefi, yes.

He lives in Madison!

WTF is MeFi?

OH OH OH MetaFilter??

No, I know you mean FRM, but no one reads FRM.

I'm drinking tea. I want caffeine, but have no Diet Coke and I don't have the patience to make Vietnamese or Turkish coffee, and I have no drip coffee maker, so I'm drinking tea. As usual, it's completely disappointing.

― crunkleJ (crunkleJ), Monday, 27 November 2006 17:16 (seventeen years ago) link

Yeah, tea is one suck-ass beverage.

― JordanC (JordanC), Monday, 27 November 2006 17:18 (seventeen years ago) link

But Diet Coke isn't disappointing? Diffrent strokes, I guess.

― whoop de doodle (kenan), Monday, 27 November 2006 17:19 (seventeen years ago) link

I don't think I've ever read MetaFilter. But back in 2000 I was all about Plastic.com.

― jaymc (jaymc), Monday, 27 November 2006 17:19 (seventeen years ago) link

Tea is way better than Diet Coke, wtf.

― jaymc (jaymc), Monday, 27 November 2006 17:20 (seventeen years ago) link

I have seen this movie about Jim Jones. I would like to see that documentary.

― Lance Rock (pullapartgirl), Monday, 27 November 2006 17:21 (seventeen years ago) link

I live each moment for the next Diet Coke. Diet Coke is my morning beverage. It's very portable and always satisfies. I love coffee, but it has some drawbacks.

Tea could suck a fuck, but for its caffeine. Except iced tea, which is OK. And sometimes chamomile and peppermint "tea," but also iced.

― crunkleJ (crunkleJ), Monday, 27 November 2006 17:22 (seventeen years ago) link

I'm having coffee issues at home. I have a big old coffee maker with a carafe, but it's really touchy for some reason. The coffee comes out either way too weak or way too strong, and I never had issues with my old coffee maker.

Then I've got this little "cup at a time" coffee maker, it's got a permanent filter and you actually put your mug under the drip. The coffee is fine but it's messy and, well, it only makes a cup at a time.

― JordanC (JordanC), Monday, 27 November 2006 17:23 (seventeen years ago) link

Aspartame is nasty and has a heavy, metallic aftertaste.

― whoop de doodle (kenan), Monday, 27 November 2006 17:24 (seventeen years ago) link

i'm about to go make myself a cup of throat coat tea. i like the licorice root/bitter fennel fruit aspect of it.

i have no coffee today. i don't feel right.

― otto midnight (otto midnight), Monday, 27 November 2006 17:25 (seventeen years ago) link

Jesse u mad. Hot tea > iced tea. Black tea > herbal tea. Also, I don't do caffeine.

Diet Coke tastes like emptiness.

― jaymc (jaymc), Monday, 27 November 2006 17:25 (seventeen years ago) link

I don't HATE tea, but it always leaves me wishing it were better.

Diet Coke in a can, on the point of freezing is like drinking from the teat of a goddess.

― crunkleJ (crunkleJ), Monday, 27 November 2006 17:28 (seventeen years ago) link

Fuck a coffee, I just light up big bluntz in the morning.

― danno martinez (danno martinez), Monday, 27 November 2006 17:29 (seventeen years ago) link

Tea is what I drink when I have no time to make coffee. It is good, and I like tea, but it just reminds me that I would rather have coffee.

Speaking of, I'm off to get some coffee. Coffee coffee coffee.

The Cult of Diet Coke

― whoop de doodle (kenan), Monday, 27 November 2006 17:31 (seventeen years ago) link

xpost Yeh, drinking tea is like marrying the twin whose twin you are actually in love with. Or something like that.

― crunkleJ (crunkleJ), Monday, 27 November 2006 17:32 (seventeen years ago) link

A manager at Catch told me that he sleep walks and eats, and a few nights ago he ate a couple of slices of pizza and drank 6 cans of Coke in his sleep. I believe him.

― crunkleJ (crunkleJ), Monday, 27 November 2006 17:34 (seventeen years ago) link

Diet Coke is gross. That said, I will drink it if 1) depressed, because it reminds me of my mom and/or 2) it has booze in it.

Tea is the world's beverage. I like it a lot. I also like licorice, caring for dogs, waking up early, mangos and walks on the beach of moderate length.

― Armando Grouse (Armando ), Monday, 27 November 2006 17:36 (seventeen years ago) link

Maddie used to have coke in the mornings. I don't really drink soda, but when I do it's almost always diet coke (diet vanilla coke RIP).

― JordanC (JordanC), Monday, 27 November 2006 17:37 (seventeen years ago) link

Tea is the world's beverage.

Indeed. There's something hideously provincial in not liking tea.

That coke article is interesting. I didn't know all that stuff.

Holy shit, you're being Kenanish again.

― crunkleJ (crunkleJ), Monday, 27 November 2006 17:39 (seventeen years ago) link

What about walks on beaches of other lengths??

― Laurel (Laurel), Monday, 27 November 2006 17:39 (seventeen years ago) link

No, Kenanish is when I say something that I don't even really believe myself.

― whoop de doodle (kenan), Monday, 27 November 2006 17:41 (seventeen years ago) link

Nope, short is pointless and long is boring. Just moderate. I get bored just walking on the beach. If you want to maybe stop for a cup of tea, do some kartwheels on the beach, or write our names in the sand with our toes, that would provide a nice diversion.

― Armando Grouse (Armando ), Monday, 27 November 2006 17:42 (seventeen years ago) link

No, Kenanish is when someone gets needlessly haughty.

LOL:

Jen: if i had to eliminate coffee or tea from my life, i would kick tea in the ding dong and never drink it again

― crunkleJ (crunkleJ), Monday, 27 November 2006 17:42 (seventeen years ago) link

Wait, are the walks of moderate length, or are the beaches? (X-POST: I see.)

The Cult of Tab.

I had a boss who was a Diet Coke fanatic, as in several empty lipstick-stained cans littered around her office at any given time.

― jaymc (jaymc), Monday, 27 November 2006 17:43 (seventeen years ago) link

YUCK

Give me a break, I live in Madison.

― JordanC (JordanC), Monday, 27 November 2006 17:43 (seventeen years ago) link

Tea is versatile -- all the varieties!

― jaymc (jaymc), Monday, 27 November 2006 17:44 (seventeen years ago) link

I don't like tea. I also don't dislike tea. I guess I don't really think about it. I can also say I've never had a cup of tea that I could call "good" or "great", but I have had plenty that were underwhelming.

― danno martinez (danno martinez), Monday, 27 November 2006 17:44 (seventeen years ago) link

Also: Give me a break, arbiter of taste.

all this talk of java has me looking for a new coffee maker.

also, i love overlong, pointless walks on the beach and i miss having an ocean in wintertime to take those walks on.

― otto midnight (otto midnight), Monday, 27 November 2006 17:46 (seventeen years ago) link

ocean in wintertime

I read that as "ocean in wartime" and didn't even think that was weird.

― Lance Rock (pullapartgirl), Monday, 27 November 2006 17:48 (seventeen years ago) link

John, there are lots of different kinds and preparations of meat out there, it's very versatile!

― JordanC (JordanC), Monday, 27 November 2006 17:48 (seventeen years ago) link

Our office kitchen has a variety of teas for free but it really DOES matter whether you drink quality tea or crap because the office tea tastes REALLY BAD to me, but tea at home is always just what I wanted. So I submit that it's possible tea-haters aren't drinking the good stuff. Either way, Diet Coke is NASTY.

― Laurel (Laurel), Monday, 27 November 2006 17:50 (seventeen years ago) link

I feel pukey. Not. Good.

That said, I love a fine cuppa tea, especially Sleepytime with honey.

John, would you say you are more into downers than uppers? Do you ever drink regular Coke?

― Calico (calico), Monday, 27 November 2006 17:53 (seventeen years ago) link

John, do you prefer dolls or meth?

Note: I don't hate tea in the least. In fact, I quite like it, as the drawer full of various kinds of bagged, loose, herbal, and caffeinated tea in our kitchen and the ownership of my very own proper tea pot demonstrates. I just vastly prefer coffee. Coffee is a magical drink.

― Lance Rock (pullapartgirl), Monday, 27 November 2006 17:55 (seventeen years ago) link

Coffee is a magical drink.

OTM.
