Oh well. It was nice talking to you, anyway. BTW: if you haven't gone already, why ""Backwards7""?"

"Bye, Backwards7.

Now let's talk about me!

I've just found out that a presentaion I thought was due at 8 AM on the 18th, is in fact due at 8 AM on the 20th. This is good news for 2 reasons:

More time to practice, and

I can go out with all the other wannabe irish types and get wasted on St. Patrick's Day. Huzzah!"

Drink a cold one for me. I'll be watching WrestleMania that day and possible also sipping a cold one. Maybe make an alchoholic tea just for the hell of it.

Cool. Itr's always nice to be reminded that I'm not the only coffee drinker on this board. There's something reassuring about that: like I'm part of a schismatic movement, rather than a lone heretic."

Let's be fair though, we all know when you've not been drinking coffee.

"I assure you, my current lack of coffee intake is entirely against my will. Normally I prefer coffee, but it's been making me ill lately, and tea isn't.

And since I must have caffine..."

Noithing to do with tea (or Lucifer for that matter), but the following cutting struck me as indicative of something or other. I just can't for the life of me say what that is...

Alan Moore failed to get a namecheck when the Spectator film reviewer wrote that From Hell `might be quite an entertaining twist on the old Ripper tale, mainly because it was based on a graphic novel by some hairy man who is widely thought of in graphic novel circles, wherever they may be.' (Review summary: good twist, bad everything else.)

"Using that to segue back into movies...

My new cup of tea is Men with Brooms. This film is absolutly hilarious. I'm not usually a fan of comedies, but I'm strongly tempted to go watch this one again.

I don't know how wide a release this film actually got, but if it's available wherever you may be, I strongly encourage you to go get it. Granted the premise looks a bit odd - a movie about a curling bonspiel? - but the humor goes well beyond curling. Plus, it pokes wonderful fun at the sports world in general.

Go see this film. I mean it."

"If you like feeling happy, jumping around and hearing some thought provoking stuff then Spearhead will be just your cup of tea.
Just been to see Spearhead a couple of times here in Oz. Everyone left the concert with an enormous smile on their face thinking of nice things they can do for people.

Honestly, it was the happiest, most life affirming three hours I've ever spent.

They're back in the States (NY first I think) 21st 03-2002. www.spearheadvibrations.com

Go see them if you like feeling happy."

Spearhead used to be called ""Disposable Heroes of Hip-hopcrisy"", and put out that excellent song, Television (the rap is jammed filled with stats on how bad TV is for you).

They've mellowed out now. I still like them though."

I've just found this link on the More Goofyness thread http://www.geocities.com/CapitolHill/Senate/2680/index.html and I'm so depressed, weak and near-sighted that I need a strong cup of tea."

So where you been, then?"

"Where've I been? Out of the comic loop for a while, but am now back. University work can devour your time something chronic. I have to say though that during the absence, I have hooked at least 7 new people on Lucifer. The only problem is, I can't get them to buy their own. So some of my non TP issues are looking well loved. On a side note, the thing that made me come back was the realisation that I didn't care if I got spoiled..Mike's good enough that I can take pleasure in the writing, even if I know the plot! People keep informing me that they think our erstwhile Headmaster has written himself into a corner..

This is a good thing, because I get to smile enigmatically because Lucifer as a title is all about making you think one thing and doing another *grin*

Also, I've just seen that Mike will eventually be taking over on Hellblazer, something I hadn't know, so yay...John will be back in Blighty eventually. Now, all I need is to get my grubby hands on Grant Morrison's 'The Filth'...*drool*

And the answer to Mike's question remains unanswered.

"Whew...been gone awhile. Nice to see Teabags has been worthy of over 500 random thoughts and responses. This is the real acadamy award winner here folks.

Speaking of acadamy awards, I've made a fairly sizable life decision. I've laid down my marketing hat for at least a year and put on my full time actor hat. With about a year's worth of living money in the bank I'm giving myself that much time to decide if it's something I love enough to get a part time job at in order to scrape by and make a living at. And if I decide it's not worth the hassle, it's back to marketing for me.

I don't mind turning 40 or 50 and living with trying something I love and failing at it, but I'll be damned if I'm gonna live with the regret of never even trying.

Anyway...that's my news. It's good to be back. I hear the school pet ate the shop teacher while I was away. You guy's know he's supposed to be on a 'sciences only' diet. I'll tell you one thing, I'm not gonna clean out his cage for the next little while....yeachhhh!

Good luck. I hope it works out for you.

Yeah me too. That's a good philosophy to have.

"Has anyone else noticed that all restaurants(except asian ones) serve crappy tea? It is predominantly by 'Stash' brand, who make the worst tea on the market. I don't understand how their shoddy quaility product got such a stranglehold on the restaurant industry. Both 'Bigelow' and 'Celestial Seasonings' seem to be widely avaible, comparitively priced and at least 10 times better in terms of flavor. Speaking as someone who enjoys tea immensely, Dammit, I'm tired of going to yuppie coffee shops, just to get an overpriced cuppa chai.
Whew! I had to get that off my chest. Thank God for this teabag thread...er...can you say ""Thank God"" on a Lucifer board? =)

On an unconnected note, I observed that (at least on my screen) there's only room for 23 or 24 pages worth of links after the name of this thread. Wonder what happens when it runs out of room?

It probably gets yanked long before then, Vagabond. Remember the big thread over on the Crusades board?"

I think they double up.

Mr.G, you're too kind. I mean, really, in this instance, a lot too kind. I procrastinate like some kind of damn... procrastinater. But how's everything?

At the rate we post? I doubt it.

Maybe Mike could get the artists to include some subtle ""save the teabags"" grafitti in each issue?

In the otherwise, things are... interesting. Good, then very very good, then her old college boyfriend starts making settling-down noises, and who the heck knows anymore.

But I find that a nice cup of Republic of Tea Ginger Peach goes a long way toward bending the day into a shape I can deal with."

You can see how that got its name: decaffeinated coffee is an evil concept.
