Coffee Quote

It is inhumane, in my opinion, to force people who have a genuine medical need for coffee to wait in line behind people who apparently view it as some kind of recreational activity. I bet this kind of thing does not happen to heroin addicts. I bet that when serious heroin addicts go to purchase their heroin, they do not tolerate waiting in line while some dilettante in front of them orders a hazelnut smack-a-cino with cinnamon sprinkles. ~Dave Barry

Coffee Quotes and Sayings about Caffeine

Oh, thank you. I miss Dave Barry's column.

I attempted to make coffee today. I'm not sure the results would have been accepted even by someone in medical need.

Or, to quote my husband, "God, that's bad!"

About twenty years ago I used to hear a song on the radio named “Caffeine”. Now, of course, it defies Googling. The chorus was:

Caffeine, you know that it’s supreme
Gotta have my coffee, or I turn mean
Put it on the rocks or straight up with cream
I’m a fiend of that bean of caffeine

Does that ring a bell for anybody out there?

I bought a bumper sticker at Noreascon in 2004 that gets a lot of attention:

It is by caffeine alone that I set my mind in motion.
It is through the beans of Java that my thoughts acquire speed.
My hands acquire shakes, the shakes become a warning.
It is by caffeine alone that I set my mind in motion.

Quite a few people have asked me where I got it. Seattleites do enjoy trying to live up to the stereotype(s).

Love the quotes.

My favorites are:

Man does not live by coffee alone. Have a danish. ~Author Unknown

In Seattle you haven't had enough coffee until you can thread a sewing machine while it's running. ~Jeff Bezos

Very apt for a quilter.

I must say I have been enjoying the new Pikes Place coffee at Starbucks. Not enough to buy it after the free-coffee-on-Wednesday offer is over, but enough for now.
