Does decaf coffee cause the same sour stomach stuff?
Wash: Well, I wash my hands of it. It's a hopeless case. I'll read a nice poem at the funeral. Something with imagery. Zoe: You could lock the door and keep the power-hungry maniac at bay. Wash: Oh, no, I'm starting to like this poetry idea now. Here lies my beloved Zoe, my autumn flower, somewhat less attractive now she's all corpsified and gross...

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.

If it is the acidity, yes. At least it has for me. But I've got a wussy stomach these days.

Decaf still has acid in the coffee, but the caffeine, like all stimulants, increases acid production in the stomach, so without the caffeine you only get part of the effect.

[insert something funny here]
So, excited by that casting news I pop over to imdb thinking "Hmmm, I have not seen Alan Ruck in anything for maybe years...."
... and I see that his most recent credit is for an episode of Stella tittled "Coffee Shop".
Which is kinda freaky, given the recent subject matter in the thread.

I wish I could just go somewhere to get flensed but none of the whaling ships near me take Medicare.
I suppose I should watch "Previously on The Minearverse...", but how much is this going to be like "Cannonball Run"?

Wait, is this real-world child support, where the money goes to buy food for the kids, or MRA fantasyland child support where the women just buy Ferraris and cocaine? -Jessica
Oh, it's EXACTLY like Cannonball Run. Minear ran out of creativity long ago.

Am I the only one here who liked Cannonball Run?

I can't tell you how much it's like "Cannonball Run" as I've never actually seen "Cannonball Run." Nor had I seen an episode of "The Amazng Race" until we'd finished developing "Drive." (I've seen the seasons that are on DVD now and love it.) Never saw "Gumball Rally" either. Car-centric things bore me.

So I bet this lessens the chance of a Dom DeLuise cameo? That's it. I'm not watching.
