Today I tried not drinking the coffee.  I have a train-friend that regularly purchases coffee on the way to the station and I spoke with this friend about providing their cup of coffee.  So, I got the AA Kenya with 2 sugars and 2 creams and proudly brought it onto the train.  Train stopped at Somerton station, no friend.  So I figured I’d just hold the coffee and dump it when I got to Temple.

People start piling in and my arm’s getting tired as I have no real place to put it down.  I’m pretty sure the guy next to me starts looking at me funny as I hold this cup of coffee without drinking it and my arm starts shaking as holding out the cup starts getting to me.  I think about trying to give it away until realizing that no one would accept a fat stranger’s coffee.

In frustration I start drinking it, remembering why I hate regular coffee, so I’m sitting there downing piping hot coffee contorting my face in pain.  I’m the kind of guy guys like me hate sitting next to on the train thinking they’re crazy.  I’ve become a monster.

Kevin,

One of the most delightful comedies of manners Kevin you passed to me was the time the guys from your WPC whipped out a frisbee and asked anyone if they wanted to play “disc”.  After hearing that I made a number of jabs concerning playing “sphere” instead of soccer and “parabolic surface of revolution” for football.

Well, I’ve found a product that can disambiguate this disc problem.  It’s called a titsbee.  I don’t think I’ll be able to use them at camp.

I usually purchase a breakfast sandwich on the way into work/school for 2.11 plus tax and use that as my breakfast fortified with whatever I can find in work.  But lately Wawa’s been running a promotion where any breakfast sandwich and any sized coffee is 1.99, cheaper than the sandwich alone so I’ve taken to getting coffee.

Recently though, the coffee has given me terrible diarrhea and the following’s resulted:
Coworker: Every morning at about 8:00 Am you seem to go.
Me: Yeah.
Coworker: Do you have a high fiber breakfast or something?
Me: No, I’ve been getting free Wawa coffee, in fact better than free but Wawa coffee gives me terrible diarrhea.
Coworker: So why don’t you stop drinking it?
Me: Then I’d feel I wasted it.
Coworker: So why don’t you stop getting it then?
Me: But, it’s free.

I was walking into Lowes to get some stuff to make a new batch of atlatl darts when I spotted two severe-looking men in an old station wagon wearing all black as well as matching balaclavas parked out front frantically looking back and forth between the door and the surrounding parking lot.  The idea of two people holding up a Lowes crossed my mind but a Lowes has to be a damn hard thing to hold up due to its heavy reliance on credit and POs as well as its open layout, numerous places to hide and offerings for the ingenius victim to create some rather interesting countermeasures.  I thought of how to combine circular saw blades, a door frame and shock cords to deadly efficiency but my dreams of home improvement counter insurgency died when an old women dressed in pink carrying the ugliest collection of wallpaper imaginable walked out and made her way into the back seat of the car.  If that person had been my mother and I’d been seen with her, I’d camouflage myself and look around frantically too.
