Coffee Shop Forever, It's time to kick bottom and drink coffee! Options

[Colonel Mustard]

Today I finished eating my egg made of chocolate, and I will not have another egg made of chocolate for another year.

I am sad now.

[King Coin]

I have a head left of my chocolate bunny. I entertained thoughts of using a pencil to stake it. I'd rather not have graphite in my chocolate though.

[Grits]

Grits has been unexpectedly absent this week, but it’s all good. Mr. Grits is on a business trip, and we’re home for spring break. The vacation budget went to medical bills (along with the PC budget), so I thought I would have tons of time to myself since the kids would go off to their separate corners.

But no! They want to spend time with … me!! We are having the best break ever, and not even doing much. In a minute we're going to resume the Fawlty Towers marathon. Big fun.

[Acadian]

How wonderful that the kids have not fully moved beyond the ‘Mom is the Best!’ phase! I suppose you are likely to yet experience the remaining phases:
-Mom is boring.
-Mom is an ignorant dictator.
-Mom has gotten a lot smarter over the last few years.
Then, finally, full circle to ‘Mom is the Best!’

Yeah Grits! And I LOVE the Fawlty Towers !!

[ghastley]

You shouldn't have mentioned Fawlty Towers.

My "ghastley" handle comes from a period just after graduating from University, when I shared a house rental in London with a couple of other recent grads. The place was in Chartley Avenue, but the hand-written address on our first phone bill made it look like "Ghastley Avenue" - hence the way I spell it. We liked that idea so much we christened the house "Ghastley Towers" (it was a two-storey duplex and had nothing resembling a tower). I painted the name on the transom over the door, and the postman would deliver to Ghastley Towers if you left off the house number.

Two weeks later, Fawlty Towers debuted on TV and everybody thought we'd copied them. Since Cleese was living in London, and not all that far away, it's quite possible he copied us!

What a very cool story !!!

[McBadgere]

Cool Ghastley!!... ...

D'you know...Generally, things go along for me...Not overly exciting really...Not that anything is particularly bad as such, just nothing really...Inspiring...

Until today...

My Boss has interests which sometimes see him go off to view certain...Spiritual hills or hill forts or mountains or groves etc...And today was one of those days...And yet today he said, "Go on then, fancy a walk?"...So, dressed in my farmic finery (complete with added farmic aromas), off we went...Here...Now, it may not look like much, but the people who built it there did so for a reason...The view was INCREDIBLE...If I had a decent cameraphone and a Photobucket account I'd show you...But my gods it was amazing, I haven't been so thoroughly happy...No...Content is more the word, in so long it's untrue...Beautiful and totally spiritual...And I haven't been able to say that for ages either...

And that's not the best bit....

We met a genuine, honest to...Um...God...Pilgrim!!!...I couldn't believe it!! He was genuinely on a Pilgrim's trail following a map!!!...(Something to do with an ancient Roman Pilgrimage to be done instead of the one to Rome)...

Oh my...I am truly chuffed now!!... ...

[Athynae]

That's a day I envy McB, cool stuff...I would possibly compare how you described your feeling to the way I feel when I am hiking around in the Smokies....aaahhh so beautiful...

oh and a day with the boss can't be a bad thing either...

[Colonel Mustard]

That's just what I need! Thanks, Cheawebe, you managed to help me deal with this problem in a manner that isn't at all public, noticable or easily seen by potentially millions of people!

D'you know...I don't believe that chap is entirely stable... ...

His posting style isn't all up to scratch...

Maybe someone should call someone?... ...

[Fawkes]

Taking a small break from studying just to say hello!

Sorry for randomly vanishing, but school has been a pain t-t, 3 essays due tuesday, along with 2 test, THEN the following week I take my finals! So soon to being free! So you guys will see more of me in a couple of weeks :3

Also....ah Oblivion guards.

[McBadgere]

FAWKESEH!!!...Y'alright mate?...Ain't seen ye in a bit... ...

Nice to see you though... ...

Don't study too hard... ...Says the man who works on a farm and has very few qualifications...Hmmm... ...

What the hell are you doing here man?!...Go study...Now!!... ...

[Athynae]

OH, phooey, pay him no mind Fawkes...it's good to see you. I figured it was school since I hadn't heard anything otherwise. Keep working hard kiddo, you're almost there. Proud of you for what it's worth.

Keep us posted and look forward to seeing an update on your story soon!!

[Colonel Mustard]

Fawkes is back!

If it makes you feel better, I'm in exactly the same boat as you. Keep going, man, we're nearly there! Soon...soon we will be free!! FREEEEEEE!!

Until we get jobs.

[King Coin]

Until we get jobs.

I'm taking summer classes so that I can get ahead.

Cheeeeaaat!!

[King Coin]

Cheeeeaaat!!

Also, if I don't take summer classes then I'd have to spend more time at my job. I would much rather take classes. lol.

[Olen]

The joys of studying... doing lots of it here but can't say I'm that motivated. Minecraft can certainly do serious damage to revision.

I can look forward to my summer though. There's no point in getting an internship or a job as I have a four year PhD starting in September, so I'm going to holiday instead.

[bbqplatypus]

Approaching the home stretch for law school. Just finished staying up all night writing a thoroughly pointless 4-page paper that will do hamster all to prepare me to become a lawyer. I know it's only four pages, but things tend to take longer when they're worth half your grade.

Still no job for the summer, so I'll probably be doing the study abroad program in London, which, given the lower per-credit cost, costs the same as doing it in Saint Paul anyway.

Christ, I hope I don't end up as one of those depressed, underemployed, broke-@ss JDs with an angry blog.
