Coffee: Incredibly difficult to brew correctly, and even if you do it's still pretty crappy.
Go team tea!
Gunn: The final score can't be rigged. I don't care how many players you grease, that last shot always comes up a question mark. But here's the thing. You never know when you're taking it. It could be when you're duking it out with the Legion of Doom, or just crossing the street deciding where to have brunch. So you just treat it like it was up to you—the world in balance—'cause you never know when it is.

I find tea to be more finicky to brew what with the different temperatures for different types. But both are delicious and have their places in my daily beverage consumption.

I haven't trusted science since I saw the film "Flubber."
If a relatively distant family member references John Gault (sic) in a reply to a FB post about raising the minimum wage, it's totally acceptable for me to beat the shit out of him, right? Metaphorically speaking.

this mess was yours / now your mess is mine
Making coffee at night stills feels funny sometimes, though, right?
I'm actually totally used to it now; it's just part of the before-bed routine. What's weird is on vacation with other people, making coffee in the morning. I'm all "Where is my cup of cold coffee from the fridge?!?"

Yeah, the more I think about it, the angrier I get. But he's out of range.

Yes.
My parents recently told me a story about driving to Santa Cruz or somewhere with a friend of theirs who was all into Ayn Rand and getting passed by a couple of young women in a car with a "Who is John Galt?" bumper sticker. The friend got all excited and made my dad catch up to them so he could hold up a little sign he made saying something like "here I am [female character's name]". The women appeared ro have no idea what he was getting at. He was so crushed.

Woo! Go Mac!
I gave up coffee for a month, and I've just started back drinking decaf last week. Unfortunately, I busted the handle on my press pot so I'm back to my Mr. Coffee. Which has the advantage of having coffee ready for me when I wake up, but now that I'm drinking decaf that's less of an issue.
