I think I've died and gone to heaven

The Handpresso, a portable espresso maker.


(Of course, in my heaven rather than a Starbucks on every corner you'll find a mom & pop coffee shop where the beans are always fresh and nobody says "half-caff.")

I want one!!

(and 'half-caff'? what is this 'half-caff' you speak of? Sounds similar to me as this 'decaff' thing I've heard people mention, but such a concept seems blasphemous!)

Decaff exists. It hangs over the heads of my coworkers like the sword of Damocles, reminding them to behave or else. Half-caff is like some sort of demonic lovechild invented by people who don't want the caffeine jitters but still want to stay perky and awake.

Evil. Very evil.

But you wouldn't actually make them suffer decaff would you? Surely you're not that cruel! The entire concept is truly evil. Coffee should be strong and black and never tainted by sugar. I'm a purist like that!

**grins** love the icon by the way, where do I sign up?!

It's the only way they learn.

Thank you: I take signups right here, actually. Our Gwen, Tosh, Jack and Lorne have already all volunteered. I should do an active recruitment drive sometime . . .

I fear you!

In which case I pledge my allegiance to you King Ianto of the mighty fine coffee!

As well you should!

*laughs* Excellent. I'll be supreme ruler of the world yet.

At least I always tell you, I don't just let you suffer and not know why. I'm a benign dictator.

Cheer up, emo doctor! It's the good stuff today.

He is a very scary and powerful man....

...your birthday's at the end of March, right?

[identity profile] morethanteaboy.livejournal.com 2008-01-23 05:31 pm (UTC)(link)
The 28th. Yes.



You spoil me, you know.

[identity profile] morethanteaboy.livejournal.com 2008-01-23 05:39 pm (UTC)(link)
Yes, I do. I always wanted to be a kept man.

[identity profile] rockscientist.livejournal.com 2008-01-23 05:43 pm (UTC)(link)
*laughs* Does that make me your sugar daddy?

[identity profile] rockscientist.livejournal.com 2008-01-23 05:48 pm (UTC)(link)
I feel like our relationship has just taken a rather dubious turn.

[identity profile] morethanteaboy.livejournal.com 2008-01-23 05:50 pm (UTC)(link)
Oh . . . you mean you're not going to look after me in my old age? *pouts*

[identity profile] hisdarklady.livejournal.com 2008-01-23 11:21 pm (UTC)(link)
Oh love. *laughs*

[identity profile] morethanteaboy.livejournal.com 2008-01-23 11:23 pm (UTC)(link)
I take joy where I find it :D.

[identity profile] hisdarklady.livejournal.com 2008-01-23 11:32 pm (UTC)(link)
You take great joy it seems. I'd hate to see you in a nice italian coffee shop....

[identity profile] morethanteaboy.livejournal.com 2008-01-24 05:05 am (UTC)(link)
Why? Because I'd die in a paroxysm of happiness?


(That's such a good word. Paroxysm. Mm.)

[identity profile] hisdarklady.livejournal.com 2008-01-24 05:15 am (UTC)(link)
I was afraid you'd get us in trouble for indecent behaviour...

*smiles*



No, I'd just lapse into blissful silence and enjoy the coffee with the appreciation it deserves.
