    Just saw this about the new Under The Dome miniseries, and I sincerely hope they stick to the source and
    have everyone but the small handful with Colonel Barbie at the end die a bloody or fiery death

    That ending was superb and making it anywhere near a fairytale type ending would butcher it horribly.

    I'll keep that in mind. No clue where the nearest anything resembling a tea shop is in these parts though. Plenty of coffee shops (which ranks lower than tea in my opinion, must be an acquired taste), but I doubt a search for a tea shop would find anything even remotely close unless I asked the right people - whoever they are. No doubt there are some in the Portland and Seattle areas but those are both a bloody six hour drive from here in good weather.

    Go online then. cynthetiq may be able to help in that respect, and I'm sure snowy's recommendation is good.

    $2-7 for a 10 cup sample depending on the blend sounds reasonable. Might consider it one day, and would give it a try in a heartbeat if I could for the $.10-12 per cup price. The very colour of the tea in the pitcher on the index page says "hell no" to me, but not going to apply the same blanket standard to tea as I reliably can to lemonade which is foul to my tongue by virtue of the lemon flavour no matter how it is made.

    Naptime beckons now after a 16 hours of (half) underpaid work. Looking forward to this "weekend" which started a few hours back I suppose where I work only one job for two days. Woo hoo!

    Maybe start with a black tea sampler, though you may find that you're an oolong or green guy (I tend to lean in that direction myself).

    Also, look online for codes that give you a $5 gift certificate for Adagio. They're pretty easy to find. I spent about $20 on about 7 sampler bags last week.

    Some tea porn for Baraka_Guru : I got a sencha, a citrus mate, Earl Grey green, and the Raja black tea sampler with Irish Breakfast, Assam Melody, Ceylon Sonata, and Darjeeling Sungma Summer. I wanted the oolong sampler but they were out.

    Does the Earl Grey come with command or at least the XO position of a Galaxy Class starship? I can handle it then no matter how it tastes. I can settle for an Exclesior class circa 2320-30's with the much cooler looking uniforms that do not need a "Picard Maneuver" whenever you stand up.

    this is an actual fear that I have. that I will come into class to do a presentation one day, stick in my zip drive and something like this will come up on the triple screens.

    I did this once (not in a porn way) when I presented a .ASP page to the class that we were designing for a christian retreat camp. I was in charge of designing the "prayer" page that would accept requests from people and it would display a list of people currently being "prayed for". I was quite drunk when I was writing this code and forgot I left the list of things that I wrote that were being prayed for in the database (as a test of the page). So when I was showing off my page in front of the senior class (not many, 30 people plus a teacher) it showed my drunken (and hateful) list. I can't remember them all but ran the gambit from "The holy hand grenade" to "get the dean of my dept to remove his head from his ass" to (the worse) "Why the fuck are you praying, your god isn't real bitch!". I didn't notice it for a minute til my heavily religious teacher told me to edit my database table before I showed the class again. I laughed when I saw the list but I did not make any friends that day and my teacher told me to remove his recommendation from my resume.

    I kind of wish it would have been porn.
