Title: How Discordianism Got Me a Free Cup of Coffee
Post by: 0 on October 26, 2010, 02:31:25 PM
So anyway,

Today, Doktor Princess and I went to Dunkin' Donuts before I dropped her off at work.

We pulled up to the speaker box doohickey and put in her order, to which I added "Oh yeah, and a small medium regular." A moment of silence passed until the response came over the radio, "I'm sorry, a small regular?"...to which I came back with: "Yeah, small medium regular."  "Please pull up to the window."

We moved up to the window and I paid for our order....sans any coffee for me.

"I'm sorry, we also ordered a small medium?"

"Very sorry, did you say small?"

"Yes."

They came back with a medium regular.

"Did we already charge you for it?"

"Nope."

"Here ya go."


....and that's how I beat the Fratellis and found the treasure of One-Eyed Willy.

Mindfucks get you free shit.

The End.

Well, it's Dunkin Donuts so I think that's pretty much a given.

People tend to act nicest when they've spit in your food or drink.

You know...I've worked in food service for over 10 years, and I've never once spit in food or done anything like what you see in Waiting...there are much more effective and not so health-endangering methods of dealing with the kind of people that deserve it.

Wow around here the Dunkin's is the best place to go for good service and good food. Of course, its all run by a nice old Indian guy and his Indian friends... which is kinda weird for a doughnut place. However, there's never been curry in my doughnuts or coffee, so I approve.

Also, its the best place in Columbus for breakfast at 2PM.

Well yeah, that's because it didn't originate there. We New Englanders take our Dunks for granted, whether or not we are employee or customer. Some places are really good, but some aren't at all. But since you can't go anywhere in Massachusetts without passing one, I suppose it's an averages game.

Next time I'm in Ohio, I'm going to demand that my friends take me to a Dunks for old times sake. I don't know if there's one in Toledo, but I'll make them take me to one.

There was a man earlier at work who tried something similar... I just charged for everything I think I may have heard- then added 'Twat Tax' on top of that, don't attempt it if the girl looks like she would like to kill someone and it's 4am.

However- I think McDonalds may be worth a try next time I venture outside  :D

Dunkins doesn't have the rep out here that it does on the East Coast...we have just as many mom n pop donut places and Yum Yum Donuts as we do Dunkin.  Starbucks drive-thrus...now THOSE we have in SPADES.  And I *have* gotten free coffee from those, because I forgot my wallet, and I had 3 kids in the back of my car.  When I explained to them what happened and I just needed to "drive-thru" without ordering, they insisted on  giving me something for the kids at the very least, without paying.

You know, it's odd for me as a Bostonian, since here, regular means exactly what you say with size specification, but if I go in and ask for that I'll go in and say, "I'll have a [size] coffee with cream and sugar." Of course, at Dunks, "with sugar" means 20% of this must be sugar.

In a home or work setting, I always drink black no sugar, but at Dunks (or at Mike's at Forest Hills) I always ask for cream and (inevitably copious amonts of) sugar. Don't know why, but that's just how I do it.

Hanni- you're English. You don't have coffee. Your coffee is crap. Take it from an Irishman who happens to have been born and raised in Real BostonTM. You just can't get real coffee outside of the European mainland. That's one thing Dan Brown got right. I mean fuck, he's a New Englander too.

Badbeast- that's an invite to our usual coffee vs. tea arguments.

We have a drive thru McDonalds in town- the next nearest drive-thru is about half an hour down the road. To get a 'different' drive thru you have to drive about an hour to the nearest city, and that's only a KFC

I have honestly never seen any drivethru besides those two... Though Lincolnshire has been left back in the 1800s so I should be grateful for even them really.

English coffee does suck (though apparently I make good coffee- according to those who drink it)

And I have heard of the Boston tea party- nothing that exciting has ever happened in Boston1. Well we locked up the Pilgrim Fathers for a while after they tried to leave without a passport.... but even that's not really exciting.

They weren't that exciting when they got to Massachusetts either, until 1692.. but that wasn't even Boston, it was Salem/Danvers (the area is now called Danvers, even though Salem claims the history). Boston here wasn't cool until the Revolution and Virginia, of all places said, "Dudes, they're fucking over Boston with shit, let's stand with our Northern brothers."

You are a Limey, and are thus incapable of properly enjoying the nectar of the Gods that we call "coffee".  Your tongue lacks the right taste buds, and your circulatory system is immune to the effects of any stimulant less powerful than E, because you've spent a lifetime shoveling lard into your arteries.

Starbucks at least has consistency. Got the same in Liverpool myself. But generally the coffee is not even worth it. If someone in England is making you coffee, you're probably going to hear a spoon clinking repeatedly against a mug. When you hear that, cringe, grin, and accept the hospitality, then kick yourself in the ass for not asking for tea.

IF you don't use a spoon... how do you make coffee *confused face*
And at least it's vaguely exciting- our claim to fames are:
1. locking up the pilgrim fathers
2. apparently the largest docks after London (for a little while a long time ago)
3. the largest parish church in England- as in... the tallest.
4. Something about always being a christmas tree by Sweden

What they don't tell you is that the church is nearly at the point of falling down and the docks are rarely used now via when we get our free christmas tree.

QuoteCoffee is 98% water, and bad water can make a difference to the taste. There's little point in learning how to make coffee, and investing in good beans and a coffee maker, if the final taste is spoiled by poor water.

Good water? I know water tastes different but does it genuinely make a difference (in your opinions as you clearly know more about the topic than I)

Quoteyou're probably going to hear a spoon clinking repeatedly against a mug

This is a fact. Although, you do get the odd crazed coffee aficionado, who will whip out an espresso machine, or french press, and delight you with a real one once in a rare while.

Best coffee I ever had was in Holland. Mind you, for some reason, everything seemed tastier over there. Even stuff I don't usually like. I blame the holliday effect.


The main thing I'm loving about the US is you can get a hot-dog fucking anywhere. Shit. Even what passes for the newsagents round here have frigging hot-dog rotating machines and pots of quite nice coffee too.

But the one thing I've noticed, here in Maine anyway, is that the staff at Tim Hortons always seems so much more cheery and happy then the staff at DD.  The DD staff always look like they're about to keel over or they look like someone just ran over their favorite puppy.  The Tim Hortons folks are always happy and giddy, though, it's that kind of happy and giddy that makes you a little nervous.  

I'm thinking they're all Canadian androids.

Good water? I know water tastes different but does it genuinely make a difference (in your opinions as you clearly know more about the topic than I)

Parallel example-
Drink Guinness from Dublin.
Then drink Guinness from Canada.
Compare.

Don't worry! I hadn't taken offence. I think those people who say my coffee is nice are lying anyway as it looks a little too close to mud to taste good. I wouldn't know how to use one of those coffee technological thingies (I said earlier we were stuck sometime in the 1800s this is further proof)

On the topic of hot drinks- I'm going to make some tea, in the 'banned' Discordian mug (apparently it's a bad influence on the kiddies).

Okay, you get a barrel roller, preferably 1 gallon in size.  Then you put in 3/4 of a gallon (that's about 20 minutes, in metric) of water, and a half pound of coffee.  Roll it cold for one week.

Strain the coffee into a saucepan, and heat to exactly 88F.  Do NOT exceed 90F, or you'll lose 60% of the caffiene.

In a double boiler, melt 1/4 pound of semi-sweetened chocolate chips.  Stir into saucepan of coffee.

Add 8 shots of expresso so that it tastes something like coffee.

Stir.

Serve.

Fall on the ground and convulse while talking with Mexica Gods.

BE ON A TOILET IN PRECISELY 3 HOURS.  YOU WILL HAVE NO WARNING.

Good water? I know water tastes different but does it genuinely make a difference (in your opinions as you clearly know more about the topic than I)

How's your tap water taste compared to bottled water? If you don't taste much of a difference, then you got pretty good tasting tap water (thankfully, so do I). But there's places where the tap water doesn't taste very good. Sometimes it's got chloride in it (well it nearly always does, but sometimes it's enough so you can taste it), and other times it's just got a dull earthy flavour to it, or other flavours. Try the tap water when you travel around :)

However, IMO, I don't taste any difference between the cheapest bottled water and the more expensive bottled waters. And thankfully my tap water tastes great, so I never buy the stuff unless I'm on the street and don't want sugary soda but am thirsty.



I'm kinda wondering about the "leave the boiling water sit for a few minutes" advice. I mean, yeah, the optimum temperature for extracting flavours from ground coffee is just below the boiling point, but it's not much lower than 95 degrees Celsius or so. And boiling water cools off below that really quickly, so it's more a matter of your water not being hot enough than whether you should let it cool down (like you should do with green tea, which really gets bitter otherwise).

The strangest water I've encountered was in Scotland... and it was lime green and apparently safe to drink. I don't taste any difference between bottled water either, and I only really drink water and tea (no fizzy drinks for me ever).

To compare to Dok's measurements, 95 Celsius is WAY above 98 Fahrenheit (Human body temperature). 100 is boiling for water, which in Fahrenheit is 212 degrees.

ETA: Whoops, Dok said 88, which is obviously below human body temperature...

I started drinking coffee when I was 10ish and I started drinking huge quantities when I was working as a house tech for a local theater... 24 hour shift (Load In, Set Up, Run the Show, Tear Down, Load Out)... My 20 oz mug was never far away... and that stuff could stand on its own. without the cup.

I will admit, that buying whole coffee beans and grinding them on your own tastes better than buying preground, but that preground is still better than instant.

My friends in Southie (South Boston to non-New Englanders. Don't go there. It's boring and filled with Irish-Americans) in high school used to order 2 cheeseburgers from the Burger King on Broadway, and when they got the 2 burgers, said, "Hey, I ordered 3." The people at BK would never question it or look at their receipts. They just gave them that extra third burger. That could be considered O:MF, but they never knew of the concept.

Cool.

As I said, I'm rather sure none of my would translate. You must be a quick talker, and a linguistic trickster. I'm more of a poster / flyer / strange object / hidden art  / planted information type of mindfucker. I've just not got the front to do in person ones.

Uhm you were the most in-your-face up-front Discordian evangelizer of the entire group at the Day of Discord in Edinburgh a few years back, man!!

I forgot where it was, somewhere like an inner court square place kind of outside building thingy, events were happening, stands had been erected for people selling fuck-if-i-remember-what and you were RUNNING AROUND PRESSING FLYERS IN EVERYBODY'S FACE AND TALKING THE FAST BULLSHIT TALK LIKE THERE WAS NO TOMORROW (AND THERE WOULDNT HAVE BEEN--NOT FOR THEM--IF YOU HADNT CONVERTED THEM TO YOUR CHURCH OF PSYONETIKS). Seriously, though, that rocked. Plus it was an inspiration to the rest of the group. Having that energy around pushed everybody to get more active, we didn't have as much of that in the years following (though the last edition we did alright, IMO). Example, I remember something vaguely about spouting bullshit to an Asian-looking lady who was trying to post a postcard, I think I was trying to tell her it was holy because I just sanctified it, and she should savour this moment and then I think I told her a very short version of the Eris and Apple of Discord story and then she was all like "okay, so I can put my card in here, right?" -- I like to think I really got through to her.

I dunno how it would get you free stuff, though.

Oh, it's not the free coffee. That's not stealing, and i have no problem with that. I probably handed out hundreds of free cups when I was a barista, just because I thought someone was nice or funny or maybe having a bad day and needed a perk. It's the gloating over putting one over on a Dunkin' Donuts employee. "Like a deer in the headlights".
:lulz:
Anyone who actually feels better about themselves because they've confused a fast food employee, or made a fast food employee go "oh, fuck, not that asshole again" when they see them approach, is a douche. Plain and simple. It's not that there was a crime against humanity, or even, really,  more than a trivial inconvenience. There was just... gloating... over confusing a clerk at the Dunkin' Donuts drivethrough. It's not as pathetic as bragging about stealing food from Taco Bell, but it's close... it's the kind of  thing you'd only expect from the type of baseball-hat wearing chode who borrows money from his girlfriend.

It wasn't like it was planned. You're making it sound like we purposely drive around trying to confuse drive thru employees for free shit, and we don't. He made a flub and then repeated it. We were fully prepared to pay for the coffee, no matter what size came out, and even though she acknowledged the order, we weren't charged because of her error. So who's fault was it? Ours for the confusion? Or her's for not doublechecking? Shit happens. She knows us and sees us all the time.

What's the point of O:M if people here actually start feeling BAD about confusing people? It was applied Discordianism at work, no harm intended.

And as for food service workers being the help, fuck you. I've worked in food service for over 10 years and you think I would stand for that? You think I would allow someone I date to have that sort of opinion?

Okay that's it.

Nigel, get the fucking sand out of your cunt, for fuck's sake. You've brought some rather interesting characters to this godforsaken corner of the internet and stuck by them through and through as we've ripped the living shit out of them, and if you think I've going to be a fucking nice girl anymore you got another thing comin'.

First of all, this is the goddamn internet. I don't know you. You're a woman from the other coast that makes shiny things. You've gone through way too many men in to short of a time to be healthy, and you've been through 2 shitty divorces...and you call MY boyfriend a douche and an asshole loser when you sound like the Official Hobbyhorse of Portland and feel compelled to give us the blow-by-blow in your little love life thread, which, by the way, I have never really even looked at. Why? BECAUSE I DON'T GIVE A FUCK ABOUT YOUR PERSONAL LIFE.

You don't know GS, you technically don't *know* anyone on this board, yet you trust us with intimate details?!

You have managed to somehow paint the picture of GS as this:

(http://media.ebaumsworld.com/picture/tedrules23/Douchebag.png)

Which couldn't even be farther from the actual fucking truth. If you think he's an asshole, Christ, you couldn't stand an hour in Providence or any real Northeastern city. He's actually one of the most passive people I know. Shit, I would consider Richter and myself to be far more violent. He's just snarky on the board  because he wants to be.

Plus, the more you say shit like this, the more it riles him up, so keep going, I'll get the popcorn ready...actually, no. We're not going to bother. Why even GIVE you the satisfaction of an argument in type twisted and turned through a series of tubes a million times over before it crosses the country? I have more important things to worry about...like school, finishing MSY, finishing these orders and maintaining a healthy relationship, which is something you couldn't do up until lately.

How to get free pizza:
Hangout in lobby of pizza place, order breadsticks if the cashier starts to get weird
remember the name and order of another customer
Wait twenty minutes or so

Call store saying your the other customer and that you ordered x
but they gave you something else, if you were able to blend in with the other group go back
Otherwise get someone else to return to store for free pizza

I just got 2 free croissants from Dunkin with a breakfast sammich.  I ordered them, they confirmed, and didn't deliver at the pickup window.  When I asked, they basically said, "Ofuck, srry.  Here, on us."  Good service on their part, and it kept the massive line of cars from fuckign up the highway access to an industrial / office / retail area.

Holy ass, it was the perfect setup.  I spend too long at the window, receive a bag, and drive off.  The fuckers had me on film too, and without the context of the original order, or proof on the reciept, it would look like I was extorting poorly made pastry from the tatooed vegan serving up horrible egg and "sausage" biscuits with teh second line pastry. 

Petty theft?  Hoho, no such luck.  This was the excuse they'd been waiting for, the excuse I'd jsut given them.  I'd be hemmed in too, trapped by the morning exodus of delviery trucks.  All too easy for the constabulatory to stop me, drag me from my automobile, and flood every available orifice with pepper spray.  My facination with french treats was goign to get me ungodly fucked in short order.

Perhaps this spate of free java and bakery items is a corollary to Lamanite's Stoop theory.  That if you wait long enough at the drive-thru, your morning breakfast will come to you

That's a different level of free - foodery, I'm thinking.  Getting something free for a mix up is cool and appreciated. 

If you wait long enough a the drive through too often, your breakfast is a beating from cops with better things to do.

No apologies necessary, sir, although they are gladly accepted in the good will they were presented.

I think this is a good example of reading versus hearing. Nobody can gauge body language, personal context, proxemics, proxetics, or even basic conversational rhythms on the internet. It just happens that way. Throw into that mix personal views on the opinions of others, one's own personal beliefs, and basically "just having a bad day" and it spells out a recipe for disaster.

Suu, as it happens I do *know* several of the people here. In person. And many others, I *know* via extensive verbal interaction over the course of years and would not hesitate to call a friend. When you went with the "you're a slut and just pixels on a screen anyway" attack, I lost the respect I had for you. Where is your own identity?

Maybe if you were willing to take a risk and kiss a few frogs, you'd end up with a prince.

I'm not the person who mentioned violence, and in fact I'm not sure why it keeps coming up. I also didn't bring you up; I replied to Suu's mention of you and she both being "more violent" than General Stuart, as if that was relevant in any way.

My esteem for you has less to do with thinking that you are "good" than thinking that you have more pride than to brag about using mindfuckery to acquire free coffee from a drive-through. Misunderstandings happen, mistakes are fixed, but in the end, I don't see you as the kind of person who would think that made you somehow cool.

I have lots of reasons to hate General Stuart, I'm not backing down on any of them, and there's no particular reason that has to involve you or Suu unless you want it to. I had pretty high esteem for Suu until yesterday, and one of the reasons I can't stand GS is because I think (or rather, thought) she was way too good for him.

I'm kind of bummed that I appear to have been wrong.

Oh, I know that people get defensive when they're told their other half is an ass. I even tried ignoring it for a while. The "deer in the headlights" bragging about the coffee girl was just too much to tacitly condone by saying nothing.

There won't be a reason for an "I told you so", because it turns out they are perfectly suited for each other. It's like fate brought them together, to love each other forever and ever as true soulmates.

In my younger and more vulnerable years my father gave me some advice that I've been turning over in my mind ever since.
"Whenever you feel like criticizing any one," he told me, "just remember that all the people in this world haven't had the advantages that you've had."
He didn't say any more, but we've always been unusually communicative in a reserved way, and I understood that he meant a great deal more than that. In consequence, I'm inclined to reserve all judgments, a habit that has opened up many curious natures to me and also made me the victim of not a few veteran bores. The abnormal mind is quick to detect and attach itself to this quality when it appears in a normal person, and so it came about that in college I was unjustly accused of being a politician, because I was privy to the secret griefs of wild, unknown men. Most of the confidences were unsought — frequently I have feigned sleep, preoccupation, or a hostile levity when I realized by some unmistakable sign that an intimate revelation was quivering on the horizon; for the intimate revelations of young men, or at least the terms in which they express them, are usually plagiaristic and marred by obvious suppressions. Reserving judgments is a matter of infinite hope. I am still a little afraid of missing something if I forget that, as my father snobbishly suggested, and I snobbishly repeat, a sense of the fundamental decencies is parcelled out unequally at birth.
And, after boasting this way of my tolerance, I come to the admission that it has a limit. Conduct may be founded on the hard rock or the wet marshes, but after a certain point I don't care what it's founded on. When I came back from the East last autumn I felt that I wanted the world to be in uniform and at a sort of moral attention forever; I wanted no more riotous excursions with privileged glimpses into the human heart. Only Gatsby, the man who gives his name to this book, was exempt from my reaction — Gatsby, who represented everything for which I have an unaffected scorn. If personality is an unbroken series of successful gestures, then there was something gorgeous about him, some heightened sensitivity to the promises of life, as if he were related to one of those intricate machines that register earthquakes ten thousand miles away. This responsiveness had nothing to do with that flabby impressionability which is dignified under the name of the "creative temperament."— it was an extraordinary gift for hope, a romantic readiness such as I have never found in any other person and which it is not likely I shall ever find again. No — Gatsby turned out all right at the end; it is what preyed on Gatsby, what foul dust floated in the wake of his dreams that temporarily closed out my interest in the abortive sorrows and short-winded elations of men.
My family have been prominent, well-to-do people in this Middle Western city for three generations. The Carraways are something of a clan, and we have a tradition that we're descended from the Dukes of Buccleuch, but the actual founder of my line was my grandfather's brother, who came here in fifty-one, sent a substitute to the Civil War, and started the wholesale hardware business that my father carries on to-day.
I never saw this great-uncle, but I'm supposed to look like him — with special reference to the rather hard-boiled painting that hangs in father's office I graduated from New Haven in 1915, just a quarter of a century after my father, and a little later I participated in that delayed Teutonic migration known as the Great War. I enjoyed the counter-raid so thoroughly that I came back restless. Instead of being the warm centre of the world, the Middle West now seemed like the ragged edge of the universe — so I decided to go East and learn the bond business. Everybody I knew was in the bond business, so I supposed it could support one more single man. All my aunts and uncles talked it over as if they were choosing a prep school for me, and finally said, "Why — ye — es," with very grave, hesitant faces. Father agreed to finance me for a year, and after various delays I came East, permanently, I thought, in the spring of twenty-two.
The practical thing was to find rooms in the city, but it was a warm season, and I had just left a country of wide lawns and friendly trees, so when a young man at the office suggested that we take a house together in a commuting town, it sounded like a great idea. He found the house, a weather-beaten cardboard bungalow at eighty a month, but at the last minute the firm ordered him to Washington, and I went out to the country alone. I had a dog — at least I had him for a few days until he ran away — and an old Dodge and a Finnish woman, who made my bed and cooked breakfast and muttered Finnish wisdom to herself over the electric stove.
It was lonely for a day or so until one morning some man, more recently arrived than I, stopped me on the road.
"How do you get to West Egg village?" he asked helplessly.
I told him. And as I walked on I was lonely no longer. I was a guide, a pathfinder, an original settler. He had casually conferred on me the freedom of the neighborhood.
And so with the sunshine and the great bursts of leaves growing on the trees, just as things grow in fast movies, I had that familiar conviction that life was beginning over again with the summer.
There was so much to read, for one thing, and so much fine health to be pulled down out of the young breath-giving air. I bought a dozen volumes on banking and credit and investment securities, and they stood on my shelf in red and gold like new money from the mint, promising to unfold the shining secrets that only Midas and Morgan and Maecenas knew. And I had the high intention of reading many other books besides. I was rather literary in college — one year I wrote a series of very solemn and obvious editorials for the "Yale News."— and now I was going to bring back all such things into my life and become again that most limited of all specialists, the "well-rounded man." This isn't just an epigram — life is much more successfully looked at from a single window, after all.
It was a matter of chance that I should have rented a house in one of the strangest communities in North America. It was on that slender riotous island which extends itself due east of New York — and where there are, among other natural curiosities, two unusual formations of land. Twenty miles from the city a pair of enormous eggs, identical in contour and separated only by a courtesy bay, jut out into the most domesticated body of salt water in the Western hemisphere, the great wet barnyard of Long Island Sound. they are not perfect ovals — like the egg in the Columbus story, they are both crushed flat at the contact end — but their physical resemblance must be a source of perpetual confusion to the gulls that fly overhead. to the wingless a more arresting phenomenon is their dissimilarity in every particular except shape and size.
I lived at West Egg, the — well, the less fashionable of the two, though this is a most superficial tag to express the bizarre and not a little sinister contrast between them. my house was at the very tip of the egg, only fifty yards from the Sound, and squeezed between two huge places that rented for twelve or fifteen thousand a season. the one on my right was a colossal affair by any standard — it was a factual imitation of some Hotel de Ville in Normandy, with a tower on one side, spanking new under a thin beard of raw ivy, and a marble swimming pool, and more than forty acres of lawn and garden. it was Gatsby's mansion. Or, rather, as I didn't know Mr. Gatsby, it was a mansion inhabited by a gentleman of that name. My own house was an eyesore, but it was a small eyesore, and it had been overlooked, so I had a view of the water, a partial view of my neighbor's lawn, and the consoling proximity of millionaires — all for eighty dollars a month.
Across the courtesy bay the white palaces of fashionable East Egg glittered along the water, and the history of the summer really begins on the evening I drove over there to have dinner with the Tom Buchanans. Daisy was my second cousin once removed, and I'd known Tom in college. And just after the war I spent two days with them in Chicago.
Her husband, among various physical accomplishments, had been one of the most powerful ends that ever played football at New Haven — a national figure in a way, one of those men who reach such an acute limited excellence at twenty-one that everything afterward savors of anti-climax. His family were enormously wealthy — even in college his freedom with money was a matter for reproach — but now he'd left Chicago and come East in a fashion that rather took your breath away: for instance, he'd brought down a string of polo ponies from Lake Forest. it was hard to realize that a man in my own generation was wealthy enough to do that.
Why they came East I don't know. They had spent a year in France for no particular reason, and then drifted here and there unrestfully wherever people played polo and were rich together. This was a permanent move, said Daisy over the telephone, but I didn't believe it — I had no sight into Daisy's heart, but I felt that Tom would drift on forever seeking, a little wistfully, for the dramatic turbulence of some irrecoverable football game.
And so it happened that on a warm windy evening I drove over to East Egg to see two old friends whom I scarcely knew at all. Their house was even more elaborate than I expected, a cheerful red-and-white Georgian Colonial mansion, overlooking the bay. The lawn started at the beach and ran toward the front door for a quarter of a mile, jumping over sun-dials and brick walks and burning gardens — finally when it reached the house drifting up the side in bright vines as though from the momentum of its run. The front was broken by a line of French windows, glowing now with reflected gold and wide open to the warm windy afternoon, and Tom Buchanan in riding clothes was standing with his legs apart on the front porch.
He had changed since his New Haven years. Now he was a sturdy straw-haired man of thirty with a rather hard mouth and a supercilious manner. Two shining arrogant eyes had established dominance over his face and gave him the appearance of always leaning aggressively forward. Not even the effeminate swank of his riding clothes could hide the enormous power of that body — he seemed to fill those glistening boots until he strained the top lacing, and you could see a great pack of muscle shifting when his shoulder moved under his thin coat. It was a body capable of enormous leverage — a cruel body.
His speaking voice, a gruff husky tenor, added to the impression of fractiousness he conveyed. There was a touch of paternal contempt in it, even toward people he liked — and there were men at New Haven who had hated his guts.
"Now, don't think my opinion on these matters is final," he seemed to say, "just because I'm stronger and more of a man than you are." We were in the same senior society, and while we were never intimate I always had the impression that he approved of me and wanted me to like him with some harsh, defiant wistfulness of his own.
We talked for a few minutes on the sunny porch.
"I've got a nice place here," he said, his eyes flashing about restlessly.
Turning me around by one arm, he moved a broad flat hand along the front vista, including in its sweep a sunken Italian garden, a half acre of deep, pungent roses, and a snub-nosed motor-boat that bumped the tide offshore.
Man, he had some cool stuff.

Women talk the jargon of shattered flowerbeds
The sick talk from pain
Stones from stoniness
The stars mumble the gravitation of light.
To the prophet and illusionist the voice lends revelations.
The meadows are littered with alphabets of ants,
the cantilena of towns is a criss-cross of errands.

Only freedom speaks the pathos of its own being,
which is freedom.
That speech is on the boundary.
It convenes the whole world
at the human ear.
Encircles us, as death encircles life.
Like wide-open doors we flap in time,
the hundred times safeguarded secret
of worthlessness.

I have a confession to make:

I don't give a shit about GS, never have.

However, that isn't any kind of judgement on him, or on Suu. Or Richter or anyone else (not even Herbert). I just never really got him.

All I know is that Suu sent me money to go get a pint or two of beer on my birthday, that she's doing awesome just now (despite dating GS, Nigel) and from what I can see she's happier now than she was a couple years back (or whenever it was, I forget the timeline).

If GS has any hand in that (and I can't see how he doesn't), then I can get behind him, and forgive him his little failings, as I would hope people forgive me mine. Correct him, debate him, maybe rip into him a little.... But I'd still forgive him.

Mindfuck or  social engineering :P

How to get free pizza:
Hangout in lobby of pizza place, order breadsticks if the cashier starts to get weird
remember the name and order of another customer
Wait twenty minutes or so

Call store saying your the other customer and that you ordered x
but they gave you something else, if you were able to blend in with the other group go back
Otherwise get someone else to return to store for free pizza

It's probably a combination of people being broke, tense, stressed, and living in fucked-up political times.

Homage?  :? It sounds like a good thing, but I don't know why the Messiah™ would owe me that...

I have a confession to make:

I don't give a shit about GS, never have.

However, that isn't any kind of judgement on him, or on Suu. Or Richter or anyone else (not even Herbert). I just never really got him.

All I know is that Suu sent me money to go get a pint or two of beer on my birthday, that she's doing awesome just now (despite dating GS, Nigel) and from what I can see she's happier now than she was a couple years back (or whenever it was, I forget the timeline).

If GS has any hand in that (and I can't see how he doesn't), then I can get behind him, and forgive him his little failings, as I would hope people forgive me mine. Correct him, debate him, maybe rip into him a little.... But I'd still forgive him.

That is all.

I've met Nigel and Suu IRL, and I like them both.  They're both good people.

I really wish this hadn't happened.

I owe Suu a beer or two. I owe Nigel homage.

Typo.  He meant to say frommage.

He owes you cheese.

Oh snap, I'd completely forgotten about those :lulz:

Reminds me, I never was entirely satisfied with the one I made for the late TGRR... methinks I'll have to do better for the upcoming Dok Howl AIDS.

Expect a new batch before the end of next week. Halloween and life precludes me from doing them any sooner, sadly. Art of this caliber takes time, don'cha know. :lol:

I hope you don't leave, Suu. I am a fan, and I found the coffee antics pretty harmless and fairly amusing. I'm also a fan of Nigel, so I hope you guys can forge a truce or ceasefire of some sort.



I once received free coffee by going up to a cashier at Starbucks and saying, "Hey man, could I get a free cup of coffee?" Without the slightest hesitation, the guy grabbed a cup, shrugged, and said, "Sure."

Dunkins doesn't have the rep out here that it does on the East Coast...we have just as many mom n pop donut places and Yum Yum Donuts as we do Dunkin.  Starbucks drive-thrus...now THOSE we have in SPADES.  And I *have* gotten free coffee from those, because I forgot my wallet, and I had 3 kids in the back of my car.  When I explained to them what happened and I just needed to "drive-thru" without ordering, they insisted on  giving me something for the kids at the very least, without paying.

Twas verra nice.

A driver through starbucks?
A whole new world has just opened up to me.

Many are drive-thrus out here in CA.  Oftentimes we have a drive-thru across the parking lot from one that's in a shopping center.  :|
In the same shopping center as a stand-alone walk-in. Yes I have seen such horrors.

Sorry Suu, but your boyfriend is an asshole loser. You're far too good to be associating with the likes of him. It's not that people don't WANT to like him, because YOU like him (if you actually do like him, and aren't just staying with him out of habit and maybe guilt) it's simply that he's not likable. He says and does douchey things.

Okay that's it.

Nigel, get the fucking sand out of your cunt, for fuck's sake. You've brought some rather interesting characters to this godforsaken corner of the internet and stuck by them through and through as we've ripped the living shit out of them, and if you think I've going to be a fucking nice girl anymore you got another thing comin'.

First of all, this is the goddamn internet. I don't know you. You're a woman from the other coast that makes shiny things. You've gone through way too many men in to short of a time to be healthy, and you've been through 2 shitty divorces...and you call MY boyfriend a douche and an asshole loser when you sound like the Official Hobbyhorse of Portland and feel compelled to give us the blow-by-blow in your little love life thread, which, by the way, I have never really even looked at. Why? BECAUSE I DON'T GIVE A FUCK ABOUT YOUR PERSONAL LIFE.

You don't know GS, you technically don't *know* anyone on this board, yet you trust us with intimate details?!


LOL :)
