"Hey guys, I was at work and making tea and since I'm a Canadian in the food service industry I was mocked. Go figure. Anyways, one ofthe guys said I was gonna turn English, or even crazier Tea. And that reminded me of a classic Kids in the Hall skit, with the wimpy tea drinker. I don't know how many of you got to see this great canadian skit comedy, but it was grand. The guy can't sleep so he goes to the doctor who's blood test revels that, ""By Jove... Your blood is tea!"" so he had to try to quit. Hilarity involving Dave Foley dressed as giant, withdrawl induced, halucinagne scone... Oh it brings a tear to my eye

Tip tip ol' chap

Btw: I would really really love to have a scottish accent. But the only accent I can do without sounding TOTALLY silly is American. Must be why I'm drinking so much coffee rather than tea, right?"

I drank a lot of camomile tea in Perth on my holiday, and also something called a GGG - ginger beer, with ginseng and guarana. Bloody magnificent."

The only Kids In The Hall sketch I can remember offhand is the one about the one the bloke gets stuck with a demon by an interior decorator.
That and the head crushing, obviously.

Doesn't that make you sound silly anyway?

Sorry- have to attempt the cheap shot when it's offered."

My Scottish accent makes me sounds like I'm from Mumbai.

Then again, that might come in handy in SE Asia, eh?

Can you do a Bengali accent too?"

My irish accent makes me sound like a twat

I found an odd little book today, while I was going through some of my late grandparent's old things.

It's called the 'Mazawattee Gazetteer' and it's a small red book. The edges of the pages have been dyed red and they have rounded corners.

I assumed it was a little guidebook to somewhere, but in fact, it's a kind of geographical dictionary; instead of word definitions it gives brief descriptions of important places from around the world.

And Mazawattee isn't a country at all. It's a brand of Tea. The advertisement at the front of the book describes it as:

""Economical in use, containing those gentle stimulating influences so much more appreciated by those who have mental work to do.

Refreshing without being harmful.""

It was published in 1929, So I expect that it originally belonged to my great grandparents.

You used to get really cool things in packets of tea.

"The following is an account as to why someone I know drinks tea. All names and places have been changes to protect the innocent.

There was a meeting at Jayson's house one night. This was a meeting just like any other that the neighborhood has, except that the city councillor would be attending. Jayson decided that since the meeting was taking place at 7:30, well after 5:00 dinner time, only coffee and tea would be served. Jayson came home to find that his roomate, the coffee drinker of the house, had taken the coffee maker with him to NYC. Asked why, Carl said that he didn't like those little two cup makers the hotels have.

So, Jayson went next door to borrow Matt's coffee maker. Matt is also a coffee drinker and has this huge industrial 12 cup maker that Jayson and Carl got him for Christmas. Jayson brought back the mega coffee maker and set it up at the bar so that all the people would have an easy time getting the coffee.

He then looked for cups. After searching through all the cabinets, Jayson found 7 cups that could be used for coffee. Next Jayson needed the actual coffee grounds. He found this little bag of decaf grounds, but no regular. Janice, on the phone with Jayson, told him to just use the decaf as no one would notice. Jayson also set up the sugar cannister and then went to the bodega for some milk.

Jayson then sat down to watch a little of Buffy. it was season 6 finale with Dark Willow with the nasty veins and such. Right after Anya let Willow out of stasis the doorbell rang. It was the neighbor Jessica.

Jessica's husband had decided to cater the meeting for some unknown reason, and afterwards leave all the food for Jayson. What was he to do!? Jayson decided to start to brew the coffee.

This being his first time brewing coffee in a home environment he was slightly uneasy. He figured the numbers on the side of the pot represented how much water to put in for the alloted number of cups. Jayson filled the pot up to the number 12. He then put the grounds up top. Jayson then poured the water right into where the grounds were. He didn't see another place for the water. Only about three of the 12 cups fit. Panic started to set in when discolord water began coming out of the maker. Not knowing what to do and water still drippin, Jayson then poured the rest of the water down the drain. He proceeded to take the lid off of the pot, not seeing any hole that the water could flow into. At about this time Jayson noticed an on/off switch. He thought maybe this would help. It didn't. The switch turned on the heating plate, which was now wet from the dripping water. Smoke started billowing on fromthe coffee maker. Jessica was beginning to laugh.

This is when Jessica's son, Darryl, brought in an airpot of coffee. Upon seeing this miracle, Jayson quickly shut off the maker and walked away.

Jayson proceeded into the kitchen where he turned on the stove to heat up some water for his tea, just an Earl Grey.

This is ""my friends"" story of why ""he"" is a tea drinker."

Rob Kamphausen has said that the apocalypse of the boards is upon us.

Please say your goodbyes to the Teabag thread. May it jingle against a fine china cup in eternity.

I'm taking snapshots of it now

I have saved the teabag thread as a WP document. I don't have anything better to do with my time, you see."

Are they taking the boards down for good or they are just going to replace them with something better ... something with an Edit function perhaps?

I think a delete function would be helpful

"

why do you need a delete function in your underwear?

...hmmm.... an underwear with a delete function, catchy concept. the Bobbit briefs.

with free tea.

p.s.

D. you saved that as a WP doc? how big is the filesize?"

Rob's boards explain the forthcoming change: the entire boards are getting an upgrade.

He's said that if we want to save stuff, we should do it very very soon.
