This is the logo on my coffee cup. Dale, when are you posting???A while back I posted about a brief flirtation with retardation I had (hey, that has a catchy ring!) while making coffee one ill-fated morning. I had a similar experience this morning, albeit one not so messy as before.
This time I ground the beans and got them into the brewing basket where they belong. Poured in the water, hit the "on" switch and let her rip.
Then I got the milk out of the fridge, poured some into the Tom Cat cup I've used every morning since 1993, and put the cup in the microwave. (I like a cafe-au-lait effect so I heat up my milk.)
While the coffee was brewin' and the milk was heatin' I got out the sugar bowl and a spoon - I take my milky coffee with 1 spoon 'o sugar. More on that in a minute.
So then I start looking for my cup so I can put my sugar in. Where is the cup? What did I do with it???? No cup! I open the cupboard, not there. Open the dishwasher, not there. Did I bring it into the living room? Nope. Did it just disappear right off the counter??? Fer cryin' out loud, I just HAD the fucking cup!!! Where the fuck is it????
Voice in CP's head to CP: It's still in the MICROWAVE you retard! How many times in your life have you heated up your milk before pouring your coffee? I swear to God, someone should have you killed.
My friend Sarah's mother is a well known (retired) food editor for a magazine. One time when I had stayed overnight at her place her husband and I were both dollying up our morning coffee with milk and/or sugar. She looked at us both with a fair amount of disdain and said "you both need to learn to drink your coffee black." I'm starting to see how she may be right.
Love,
CP

Black coffee is wrong. You said right there she's a well known (retarded) food editor.
Where's my remote? Where's my friggin' remote?
I am Dale and I did not approve this message.
Boys should drink black coffee. We are genetically predisposed to like it black and the addition of milk/cream/sugar, etc. is the cause of many of the socio-economic problems of the western world.
Either that or I'm also flirting with some patches of mild retardation as well.
This sounds more like a senior moment...
I used to hate black coffee. Now I think anything other than black coffee tastes weird.
More than once I've filled the coffee maker with water and failed to put in the grounds. A good way to waste about 10 or 15 minutes.
I would taunt you for your mental failings, but it just took me twenty minutes to figure out that I put my car keys in the freezer.

"Cat can't read, why you send cat letter? Cat can't read, no... no good, cat can't read..."
upon intercepting a postcard that was sent to our cat Betty while we were on vacation.
Instead of milk try a shot of Jack Daniel's in your coffee. At least on the weekend...
I specialize in pouring my milk, no sugar coffee down the front of white shirts in a attempt to win some sort of wet tee-shirt contest at work.
I broke my favorite coffee cup the other day, smashed in pieces on the tile floor. I am so depressed. I swear my coffee does not taste the same.
I would advise you to get a favorite back up coffee mug.
Black coffee sucks.
At least you have "a voice in (your) head" to help you you out. I'm all alone up there, and I usually end up starting all over, with a fresh cup, before finding the original one in the microwave, or refrigerator, or wastebasket.
I done what you made me do. I tot I taw a putty tat.
i love black coffee - especially iced black coffee
I often find side dishes, still in the microwave the next morning, that I meant to serve at supper the night before.
And I also have made coffee without the grounds, and also usually spill it on white shirts. Perhaps it's just the human condition.
Black coffee is oh, so right, Dale.
