I like caffeine, but I could do without coffee.

Nah. Being friendly isn't prostituting yourself. It's just being good at your job.

I like coffee, and brew a mean pot, but I don't drink it very often.

Re: Smilelikeadumbamericanforacuppacrap

I don't understand how anyone can decide that Starbucks is the way to go.

First, the coffee fucking blows.

Second, that cup of coffee (that fucking blows) is way too fucking expensive.

If you want coffee, go to local deli, a Dunkin Donuts, or a Tim Horton's. If you want raspberry-moch-mint-creme-girle-boy-foo-foo-bullshit in a cup, go to Starbucks...

You've heard of the "Mr. Coffee"?

I have a coffee IV called "Mr. Drippy".

Yeah, I like coffee, and I drink a lot of it. In all honesty, I would rather have a cup of coffee than a beer. I fucking love coffee.

I drink a pot before I head to the office. I drink it all day long. The first thing I do when I get home is brew another pot, and I drink that.

I'm pretty sure I've grown immune to its' effects, as it's not unusual for me to drink a pot before heading off to bed...

I like it occasionally.

Only occasionally though. I don't often need much caffeine. I'm generally "hopped up" enough as it is

The few times I DID regularly drink it, I found it to be a real bitch to kick. Your bod gets adjusted to having that caffeine and doesn't like to give it up.

Once in awhile is alright. I can pretend I smoked a crack rock

Except I also have to piss a lot. That's another thing I don't care for about it.

Remember the Russian in "The Assassin's Bureau"?

Maybe, but his "Mr. Drippy" comment had to make you laugh.

(There's that dangling "so" so often used. What's up with that?)

Anyway, on topic again (just a pet peeve of mine with the current veranacular):

I don't think the ideas about smiling is limited to just the Russians. It may be continental. I had two Frenchies tell me, in all seriousness, that I smile too much.

Bizarre.
