Coffeewank!
This is an example of the wailing and gnashing of teeth that can ensue when you take coffee too seriously. Or, depending on which side you take, what happens when you don't take it seriously enough.

Jeff Simmermon of the And I Am Not Lying blog wanted an iced triple espresso from Murky Coffee in DC. He's informed that it's against Murky's policy to serve iced espresso, and when he orders the espresso and a cup of ice, he's told that "What you’re about to do … that’s really, really Not Okay." Simmermon takes exception to the barista's attitude, posts about it on his blog, and also shows the tip he left at Murky. The comments explode, some taking sides with Simmermon, others with the barista; the blog post ends up linked on BoingBoing; and the owner of Murky responds with a highly unambiguous "Fuck you, Jeff Simmermon".

Insert joke here about everyone needing to lay off the caffeine.

	Coke Zero is sugarfree coke for REAL MEN because REAL MEN do not touch anything that has the word 'diet' in it. Things with the word 'diet' in their name are for pussies and women. ...or, at least that's the message I've got from the Coke Zero ads. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	This explains why the REAL MEN at work buy their Coke Zero at the store instead of getting a Diet Coke at the machine like the rest of us lazy bums. Thanks. (Reply to this)(Parent)

	I'm trying to dechipher what's going on in your icon. It looks to me like a mermaid tail with a dry rash slapping an oddly shaped journal with a scaleprint design. In which case I agree, your fandoms is much bigger, none of mine even have that. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	It's Babylon 5, and you can see the scene in question (plus few more that further explain that particular feature of alien anatomy) here. The show also has canon femslash, canon gay marriage (of sorts), and alien sex rituals ;) (plus brilliant characters and a really good plot) (Reply to this)(Parent)
