but there are definitely some people on my blacklist

Welcome to the club XY, I took 2 year break from caffeine and since I've been back in school it's gotten to the point that I can't function without caffeine.. lame :\

travel to Europe

after the coffee there, you'll very easily turn your nose up at the junk we get in N. America

Been to Europe quite a few times goat, and I definitely agree with you.. either way it goes, 20oz red eyes keep me hopped up all day

Haha when motherfuckers try to not pay me back, I make them open up their wallet every time I see them and take my money back until it's all paid for.

Friendly bullying concept

I've always thought this sentiment was pretty silly. There is great coffee to be had here, just like there is great coffee to be had in Europe. Maybe it's better there on the whole, but if you go to a good cafe that really cares about coffee, you're going to get a good cup regardless of whether you are in New York or Paris.

Same goes for beer. It really bothers me when people say that no beers in America can compete with beer in Germany (though I've never been to Germany, so this is more based on my faith that American microbreweries produce some spectacular beers that are as good or better than anything anywhere).

Dude, of all places with beer reputations, I think Germany is the worst. The malts they use in that shit always just leave a metallic aftertaste in my mouth. American microbreweries are definitely producing the best beer in the world right now.

And yeah, it frustrates the hell out of me when my European friends who have never even been to the US refuse to give American beer the time of day because all they know is Budweiser.

word. I haven't had very many German beers that have blown me away. Though, to be fair, I haven't had many German beers compared to how many beers I have had overall, I guess.

Ayinger Celebrator is definitely an exception. Shit is delicious.

Anyways, to stay on topic. I hate ignorant haters of American beers.

UK breweries win. Real ale market here is going right up while the drinks market slumps. American microbreweries are very good though, had some brilliant beer when I was in the states over the summer.

Anyway how does having something nice abroad make you not have it at home? I just crave it and have it more even if it's less good.

Yes, but that's the whole point -- the average cup you get in Europe or Italy will be far better than the average cup served in the States. It's the result of a culture difference.

Apples to apples, espresso-centric specialty cafes here and abroad will be about on par. In fact, I'd argue that they're even better in the U.S. -- baristas here have a statement to make, something to rebel against, while over there it's just good coffee. You drink it, enjoy it, move on. It's *just* coffee, but their idea of "just coffee" is much different than ours, still.

But that's comparing apples to apples. With regard to specialty cafes, America just has less apples.

dropped $400 sunglasses on cement the first day of wearing them…don’t think i’ve ever said ‘fuuuuuuck’ so loudly in public. i guess it was just a matter of 'when' over 'if', though.

when old lovers of yours get fat and ugly

that shit is embarrassing

its fun when you get the awkward, but otherwise pleasant hello while you're with friends and she's with friends and you both look good, better even

your friends ask, "who was that?"

"hah, someone I used to go out with,"

but if she's fat, you answer like

"Yo, I don't really remember."

or you could freak out

"We went out, but fuck what the fuck happened? she used to be hot, i swear"

and the thing is, we believe you man, we believe you. It happens.

When you pull up as the second car in the left lane at a red light on a busy 4 way intersection and the du in front of you waits for it to turn green to turn his left hand turn signal on.

You've actually read the research? Are you a doctor or a scientist or just a very informed consumer?

^^

yeah the breaking in period sucks, i recently bought some boots from a military surplus store and my achilles tendons are pretty much nonexistent after wearing them 3 times

Posted

on that note

i think breaking in new dress shoes is the worst :(

edit: i hate how different microwaves can be. where 40 seconds is good on one, it can be steaming hot and soggy on another. why do workplaces have like 4 different models of microwaves? buy the same fucking one :mad:

Posted

i actually like breaking in jeans

its a good feeling having your nuts hugged for most of the day

but agreed on shoe / boot breakage
