wait until you get older . . .

That's why I only drink coffee part of the year. I used to drive a truck and be able to drink that much coffee and not have to go potty too often. But, it got pretty bed where I had to go every 20 minutes, and I mean GO NOW!

Jesus, 10+ ???!!! Why not just have an I.V. hooked up??

True Fact: J.S. Bach drank 36 cups of coffee each day.

 

I read a paper on Bach's minuets back in college and got hung up on the description of the persistent two-bar hypermeter phrasing he maintains during most of those zippy little numbers. It turns out he was completely hopped up on cafeine the whole time, so that explains a lot.

So, you're saying that if I tried a little harder I could be a genius?

That was too easy and that's the best you could come up with? Weak!

I'm medicore at 3 cups, imagine if I gave it up.

All I drink is pop basically. I think if you took coke away from me for an extended period of time I'd have withdrawal.

Sorry - did a quick edit (voted wrong). I had voted coffee and mean beer. I could NEVER give up coffee completely.

We have a guy here at work who would drink anywhere from a 12 pack to a case of Coke a day. Then one day, while we were all sitting, my boss looks over at him, and he is out in space, not moving, not responding or anything. We called an ambulance in and he was rushed to the hospital. As it turns out, he decided to quit the Coke cold turkey, and his system went into shock! They gave him a can of Coke while in the hospital, and he started to come around.

I suppose you could blur the distinction here a little bit and compromise: how about coffee with a shot of something in it (irish creme, rum, etc.)? On second thought, wouldn't mixing alcohol and caffeine be like mixing an acid and a base (i.e. a neutral byproduct)?

 

SFF

I don't drink coffee anyway.

all pop is poison by the way.

WTF did Jim just say? For the love of God, someone get me a PhD to English dictionary

I was just blithely chalking up one of Bach's signature musical quirks to his serious java jones. I guess I could just as easily attribute his ear for counterpoint and his obsession with somewhat frenetic choral cantatas to a case of ADHD the caffeine coursing through his veins every waking hour of his life.

 

Next week on Classical Composers and the Chemical Dependencies that made them Swing!

I've kicked the caffeine habit. No coffee, no pop. Nothing...I would much rather give that up than the excellent usage of beer.

I like this guy!

Belgium Beer should really never, ever, ever, under any circumstance, be mentioned in the same breath as "Heineken".

Well yes you can probably say that, because well Belgim Beer's so damn good, but out of the normal "Beers" we get down here, well Heineken would be the best. But your point is well taken.
