No, because I remember reading that exact column in high school. It's an old one.
Giles! I accidentally killed Spike. That's okay, right?
Buffy ,'Never Leave Me'
Spike's Bitches 28: For the Safety of Puppies...and Christmas!
[NAFDA] Spike-centric discussion. Lusty, lewd (only occasionally crude), risque (and frisque), bawdy (Oh, lawdy!), flirty ('cuz we're purty), raunchy talk inside. Caveat lector.

I know I read it a while ago, but for me a while ago = sometime between last year and my birth.

I know I still lived at home when it was first published, because that's the last time I subscribed to a paper that ran Dave Barry columns.

The Boston Globe magazine (or Barry's syndicator) may have rerun old columns at some point, when Barry was on a break. I know I've known about the poopachino for a while, but have no idea how long.

How are you me? You need to stop that. Only I can be me. ~Kara
Cindy, I did see you mention the raptorgirl on LJ. I guess it's someone who wants to cash in on Kara's notoriety.
We're back with about 5 prescriptions. Kara got one, Aidan got a pre-emptive one, Greg got one for a sinus infection and a narcotic cough syrup, and then she made me jump up on the table and I got one for sinus infection too. I knew I had the infection, I was just ignoring it in the hopes that it would go away. Love how we spend 10 minutes at the doctor and spend a week's worth of grocery money. She was very cool, though, and we're home and about to have mac and cheese.

Yeah, do it fast. It doesn't hurt any less, but it's over sooner.

All is well that ends in pizza.
Why do people still think kopi luwak coffee is news, I wonder?
Because not everyone is omniscient, and being widely read is reletive?
I'm not a coffee drinker, and I just read it in an oddly stories column.
I guess my hip urban cred is shot, huh?

Greece's financial crisis threatens to take down all of Western civilization - a civilization they themselves founded. A rather tragic irony - which is something they also invented. - Jon Stewart
DCJ, you're salt of the earth. Not the weasel-poop-coffee earth is all.

Sorry Daniel -- my snark was meant for Reuters, not you. (It's like the neverending series of "OMGCHRISTMASISREALLYSATURNALIA!!!" articles we get this time of year -- is it really too much to ask that journalists do a quick Google to make sure that ten thousand people haven't already written the article you're about to publish?)
