md, that's the whole point."

We're brainwashing with tea. It has extra scouring properties. :)

Happy birthday! Hope you have fun - don't overdo the celebratory marmite on toast and lashings of Sunny D. :)

Many happy returns.

Marmite is a poor substitute for vegemite.

In a place called Kanazawa on the coast of the Sea of Japan, they sell tea with gold leaf floating around in it. Its Japanese tea, obviously, which comes in a variety of flavours, and is generally quite nice, but the gold flakes get stuck in the back of your throat. A bit disconcerting to think that it will enter your digestive system.

The best tea in the world, if you like green tea, is tea from Uji outside Kyoto (the same place with the world's oldest wooden building).

None of this stuff comes in bags, incidentally."

I´m not a beer drinker at all - but actually austrian beer gets U drunk in half the time... Beer tastes yucky, so why drink so much of that horrible stuff when half of it does the trick - Drink Austrian Beer - please

I prefer Tea to Beer, cause I´m such a ziviliced person... ""Hey! YOU MORON... GIVE ME BACK MY WHIP!!! ... AND YOU OVER THERE STOP WHIMPERING - THATS DISGUSTING!!!

Drink beer! Lucifer

Down, rowdy demon!
Pale green tea cultivates a

Sake entices.
She opens the gate toward

Thanks guys. Having a birthday on a Monday doesn't leave much partying time for a working boy like me. I did read the latest issue of Lucifer on my birthday though.

It was much better than a game of pin the tail on the donkey.

You should try pin the donkey on to a tail. You need a big pin...

Pin the tail on the donkey can be fun: you need to use a real donkey and a staplegun...
I have a question regarding beverages. A friend of mine was teaching English in Korea, and came back with a fiance and a bottle of some curious white spirit. He's now married (this was a while back) and I have since inherited the booze.
My questions are these. 1- is this stuff liable to similar to that Japanese distilled grain alcohol stuff (shochu?), because if it is, I'm not touching it. 2- as a lightweight, I prefer to take spirits with a mixer. (I know, I know, what a nonse.) Anyone have even an inkling what's appropiate?
My friend offered no suggestion: the whole time he was there he stuck to some brand of beer that supposedly had formaldehyde in it. he's very wary of this stuff, which doesn't reassure me..."

It might be chuhai, a vodka-ish drink, good with lime."

Carey's back, so it's time to bump the teabag thread...
Typhoiddave, in the absence of any other advice or even unfounded opinions (not commonly thin on the ground) around here, I'll just treat the stuff like vodka then. Thanks."

I can't believe it didn't occur to any of us to see how high we could run this thread before Mike got back. We are obviously slipping in our evil ways and must be dealt with accordingly.

Oh be honest. We posted endlessly about Mike while he was away, but we found a way to get all that stuff deleted. Now, remember that we mustn't mention it now he's back.

Oops. Now how did we delete things again...?

I think that if I ever get to name a word for a Lucifer comic as a x-thousandth posting prize, it would be ""head cheese."" Yes, I know that is actually two words, but, umm, one concept, with fewer letters than ""plenipotentiary.""

I had a whole list of words compiled when I won the x-thousand posting competition (twice! - sorry had to rub that in). From ""teletubies"" to ""bongo"", with a lot of dubious and crude words imbetween...

I couldn't settle on any of them so instead I asked Mike to name a character after me (just some throw-away incidental type), as far as I know its due in issue 20...

Knowing my luck, its some fluffy cute-ased puny unicorn kind of a character (that gets stepped on) instead of something menacing...

And just to keep this posting relevent, I was drinking tea when I made the decision (two sugars and a spot of milk - and plain digestive biscuits for dipping)

Well I'm sitting here having a nice cup of tea after walking home in the rain after yet another 10 hour day at work so it only seemed appropriate to bump the thread up.

"One of the more surreal consequences of our recent trip is that Louise has discovered Earl Grey tea. In America. Go figure.

Now she has her own teapot so that I can enjoy my usual Sainsbury's cup'o'dregs without the lingering taste of bergamot. :)

"Good for Louise - a girl after my own heart. Marcia and I, after some testing at my apartment after con, decided that the bergamot is stronger in British Earl Grey's than in American ones. "

Coincidentally I have managed to block my sink with Lapsang Souchon (sic). It has been like this for two days.

It all began quite innocently when I discovered the kitchen cupboards were infested with weavils and emptied everything down the plughole.

Now because of the weavils the sink is blocked with exotic tea. Even caustic soda won't shift it.

Was this part of their plan all along?

Yes. They are evil Tea Weevil Demons and you have to ritually sacrifice a teabag to appease them.
I've finished my Gunpowder tea - a green tea that smells and tastes like gunpowder... or bacon, come to think of it. I'm got another pack of green tea (so healthy, apparently) and I always have peppermint tea in the house. We've got Fake Earl Grey as well, which is cheap tea and a couple of drops of bergamot oil added. :) "

Izzard is a comic genius. ""Why do bees make honey? Earwigs don't make marmalade.""
I wouldn't worry about this thread going off topic - it's been shooting off at tangents for page after page.
But getting back on topic, I've just had ginger marmalade on toast with my morning tea. "

"Going back to the Yank beer thing -

I don't drink it. Actually, the last time I was in the States I was 20 in a legal-age-21 state, so I didn't even have the option. But I used to work in a liquor store, and I'm astounded by how many people did. I mean, sure, it's a bit cheaper - but it's not worth it!

Anyway, I usually drink Rickard's made by Molson, or something from Big Rock. Anything from Big Rock is good, really. I feel for all those non-Albertans to whom Big Rock is a seasonal import.

And, if anyone cares, I'm back in class. So I'll be around much more than you'd like, I'm sure.
