Peak Coffee

Destroy the rain forests.
Destroy continents.
Destroy the planet if necessary, but keep my coffee rollin’. I refuse to do without it!

To quote a great man. :book:

“This is the way the world ends
Not with a bang but over the aroma of beloved coffee.”

:coffee:

Oh, I almost forgot: :coffee:

I'm glad caffeine gives me severe existential angst, panic and heart palpitations.

Desist with your balanced and logical reasoning - it's not welcome here! This thread is about one thing: Fear and Panic... well, two things: fear, panic and the horrors of a coffee-less existence... no three things!

Aha! That's more like it - there's a conspiracy in there somewhere: you work on it a bit, then we can open a website with random sized fonts in absurd colours against a background which is far too busy to read text on!

Sorry. I meant:

That's more like it Mazza! :coffee:

We've got 7 of them.... surely no one will miss a single continent?

Why anyone would use CNS stimulants from caffeine all the way up to meth on a consistent basis remains mysterious to me.

Don't you have mornings in your part of the world?

I'm in a bar and according to the bill I've had six pints of crummy beer tonight.

CNS depressants ftw

Yes but crippling existential angst ruins any morning.

I can't get anywhere near to even moderate concern about anything before coffee.

Perhaps the closest I can come to crippling existential angst prior to 9am is finding that I don't have any coffee in the house.

My last experience with caffeine: I took a caffeine tablet. A caffeine tablet, to combat fatigue. Many hours later, I had myself put in the hospital because things had gotten so bad. Haven't done anything such since then. My genotyping report says I metabolize caffeine poorly and am highly sensitive to CNS stimulants in general. No shit. The only part that was wrong is that I'm at an increased risk of addiction to the same class of substances. Not a snowball's chance in Hell of that happening.

Meanwhile I can booze an evening away with few problems.

Given that the T-word is obviously off limits, has anyone ever considered drinking chocolate? What about Horlicks, Milo, Ovaltine? :grin:

Begone spawn of Satan! Your evil has no power here!

These mere beverages have no place in a thread about coffee! :coffee:

Caffeine itself is the spawn of Satan. So are methylphenidate and amphetamine and the others. Go back to Hell.

Exorcizamus te, omnis immundus spiritus omnis satanica potestas, omnis incursio infernalis adversarii, omnis legio, omnis congregatio et secta diabolica. Ergo draco maledicte et omnis legio diabolica adjuramus te. Cessa decipere humanas creaturas, eisque aeternae Perditionis venenum propinare!

Chocolate (hot or cold) is like drinking hot poop. Get thee behind me hot chocolate and stay in my behind.

Now, a great composer, none other than Scott Joplin himself was once asked why he drank cold coffee, his reply:

‘If it’s good hot it’s good cold.’

Would we even have his ‘rags’ today without coffee? I think not! let’s listen to a master of American ragtime music.

And here’s an awesome Canuck playing the Maple Leaf. You can’t see it, but there are 2,000 gallons of coffee just out of camera range, of that I have no doubt! And yes, he’s improving that tune to beat the band. I would suggest it’s coffee influenced.
