Most people is pretty quiet right about now. Me, I see a stiff -- one I didn't have to kill myself -- I just get, the urge to, you know, do stuff. Like work out, run around, maybe get some trim if there's a willin' woman about... not that I get flush from corpses or anything. I ain't crazy.

Not the drip coffee. That seems to be as easily replicated as the tea.

Except when you seem to suck at making coffee. Like myself.

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

Going online and clicking through to pay my bill is about the same as writing a check.

It's the mailing of said check that tilts it towards online bill pay for me. Do I have a stamp? An envelope? Do I remember how much the bill's for? Can I pay it from my desk at work?

Okay, all that other stuff tilts it too.

Black and tan always triggers the deliberate Jamaican mispronunciation of Lacatan which is a sort of banana. And when I think of mixing stout and stuff I think of mixing stout and ice cream which is really nummy and I wish people would stop looking at me funny about it.

I have a Boston-suburbs cousin-by-2-degrees-of-marriage named Shaughnessy Keegan.

Said child is actually named Keegan Shaugnessy (sp?). A boy. Keegan is his mother's maiden name. He's 6 or 7 by now.

Remember that the frontier of the Rebellion is everywhere. And even the smallest act of insurrection pushes our lines forward.

Stout is a disgusting beverage, see §5409 re: coffee.

ita, I really like eating chocolate with stout, and I can totally see stout and chocolate ice-cream being yummy.

My mom (we're part Irish) insists that this is an Irish trait, as my granddad and his brothers all loved eating chocolate with stout (or, well, any beer).

Is it weird that I love stout and porter and dark chocolate and hate coffee?
