He p*sses Starbucks. He sweats Second Cup. Don't think he'll think twice about killing you or me for sport.

TEA???? NO!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Tea makes me cry and it really upsets the coffee people. "Oh the tea people wear the little sissy dresses....ooh the tea people want scones....ooooohh".
Tea makes my face curl up lik ...[text shortened]... !!!!
I cannot drink tea......you can't make me!!!! 😲😲😲🙄🙄
I went to a diner for breakfast in a small town in New Hampshire (I thought they might know something about tea in New England, but apparently when they tipped it in the sea they lost the knowledge...). I asked for tea and was brought a cup, a jug of luke-warm water, and a tray of a selection of fruit "tea" bags. By the time the waitress had found some "proper tea" (and rolled her eyes in the process), the water was cool and I was brought another jug of luke-warm water which spectacularly failed to make a decent brew.
Anyway, it seems I'm not the only Brit to suffer this fate (see below).
Conversely, Americans make good coffee, whereas Brits tend to just drink instant. It's only since the last 5 or 10 years that cafes didn't just give you a teaspoon of instant.
Anyway, here is a story from the late, great Douglas Adams:
"There is a very simple principle to the making of tea, and it’s this—to get the proper flavour of tea, the water has to be boilING (Not boilED) when it hits the tea leaves. If it’s merely hot, then the tea will be insipid. That’s why we English have these odd rituals, such as warming the teapot first (so as no to cause the boiling water to cool down too fast as it hits the pot). And that’s why American habit of bringing a teacup, a tea bag, and a pot of hot water to the table is merely the perfect way of making a tin, pale, watery cup of tea that nobody in their right mind would want to drink. The Americans are all mystified about why the English make such a big thing out of tea because most Americans HAVE NEVER HAD A GOOD CUP OF TEA. That’s why they don’t understand. In fact, the truth of the matter is that most English people don’t know how to make tea anymore either, and most people drink cheap instant coffee instead, which is a pity, and gives Americans the impression that the English are just generally clueless about hot stimulants".

Anyway I see this little security person and his cohorts beat up on this little coffee barista. They are laughing at him and calling him "Marion". This enraged me so much that I grabbed the pair of scissors I had in my napsack and started lunging at all of them. Of course they were in a fright and ran away.
I helped the barista on his feet and all of the sudden he turned into this beautiful coffee weasel with wings....
"Behold! I'm Cujo, the Coffee God and I thank you for your kind assistence!!!! Ummmm....now go away"
Cujo disappeared and it taught me a very valuable lesson...I think?
😲😲😲😲😲😲😲

Originally posted by Joe FistAnd yes, the Columbian disaster of '96 was a true tragedy. Over 300,000 coffee beans lost their lives in that, all because of some stoned kid having fun with a lighter, a cheese block, and cracker boxes. My did that shed fly.....Anyway, lets not try to bring up the past, it'll jsut bring the nightmares back. Tis the Wisconsin Coffee Disaster of '05.
OH MY GOODNESS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
