I never got past the “FUCK ME that’s gross!” step.

I don’t even like the way coffee smells.
Waking up to the odor of “fresh brewed” coffee is no different than waking up to the smell of someone taking a shit in my bathroom.

THERE - I said it.

You may need psychiatric help.

I think we need to have us a intermission with Leee....

Cuff him to a chair with the eye clamps thingies.....in front of a big screen 24/7 Trailer Hitch music videos.... With fresh brewed coffee handy.....

He'll be begging for somebody to let him at that coffee.....

Cure him up right quick like for good....

And don't forget to have someone looming over him asking him over and over and over and over if he wold like a nice quite romantic table....

My CPU upgrade arrived this morning. I'll move the old Lenovo to where I can work on it and take the i5 out and drop the i7 in.
With appropriate attention to the thermal paste, of course.

“Thermal paste”…

Sounds moist.

Cheers.

Maybe I've missed something, but I can see one flaw in this plan.

I've never met Leee, but as I understand it he's six foot nineteen tall, built like a cross between Edro's outhouse and a grizzly bear, and routinely armed. And the plan is to bully him into submission?

I admire the ambition, but if it's all the same with you I'll sit this one out.

I think he'd crocodile slam them.

The crocodile slam was a '60s dance all the kids were doing, warnt it?

Damn it man..... Have you no.... what's the word I'm looking for....?
It's not bullying when it's for his own good. You see me and @edro done cyphered this out. If we get @Leee all hopped up on coffee, well, things will just magically work themselves out. @LtDave32 won't have to worry about public restrooms any longer. The national debt will be gone. Ukraine and Russia will be best of friends. And, when he's done with that, he will bake us all CAKE!

 

[Olds442]

i'd wager @Leee drinks a monster energy or red bull to "get going" at 4AM.

 

[Leee]

Oh, I’m not completely abnormal.
I’m still a caffeine fiend.

Absolutely no energy drinks @Olds442.

My preferred caffeine delivery method is semi-sweet iced tea.
Starting early, going all day.

It was Coca-Cola over crushed ice for the first 40 years of my life.
Ooooohhhhh - nectar of the gods.

 

[Olds442]

i was right about the sugar and caffeine tho.

Not even sugar anymore.
Cut it out last year when I got bitch-slapped by the ghost of Wilford Brimley.

Iced tea brewed with sucralose.
Then diluted 2-1 with unsweet tea.

Wife buys jugs off the shelf.
Red Diamond.
I used to brew my own because I was a tightwad and I hated going to the grocery store.

 

[SteveC]

Did ya ever go into a diner, or a mom & pop place and get a really great cup of coffee?

Of course you have. It's spectacular, especially in morning.

Unless you're Lee. then, pfffft.


Long time ago, right after we got married and moved into our first rental, I met a guy and his (eventually ex) wife. We all became very close friends, and they would visit us in CA when we lived there. We lost track of each other eventually.

Anyway, his family owned the Ellis Coffee Company.

There were purveyors to "the industry" for all things coffee in the tri-state area. Sales, service, etc.

It seemed to me, like an organized crime-like arrangement. - LOL One price for everything, but with minimums that were never waived. When you were in, you were "in."

Kinda like a timeshare, IMO.

Or, the Hotel California.

But, none of that matters....

He used to turn us on to cases of the commercial, single serving nitrogen infused bags of freshly roasted and ground coffee. You'd need a big Bunn to brew a full bag.

Which of course he gave us, too. Best machine I ever had. Lasted almost 18 years. The new ones are shit. I gave up on Bunn.

But.... that coffee? Some of the best coffee ever. Just good old, high end commercial grade coffee, that back in the day cost us a half a buck, if that, in the diner. All you can guzzle.

She hot?
Wild?

 

[SteveC]

She hot?
Wild?

Was. Became a meth-head. Then, not so much.

Last I heard (1994ish), she went off to EBFNW with some bikers.

Quick calculation says if you poured the Diet Coke I’ve consumed into this tank, it wouldn’t hold it all.

 

[JonCanfield]

Yah; I balked at coffee 'til about age 35.

Feels like 170°.
Hahaha!
