Been Kicking Myself in the Butt

Coffee Regular = Cream and 2 sugars, at least in New England. So tell me, what is it called elsewhere??

BTW, I drink my coffee black. Have since my last cavity over 12 years ago. I tell Mrs. Captain it is because I get enough of Blonde and Sweet from her...

Coffee' Negro, Por Favor. Why wood anyone contaminate good coffee with cream and sugar, which is actually milk ???

That would be Café Negro mi amigo...

Of course you need a splash of cream and about a 1/2 teaspoon of sugar - and then of course there is café con leche - which is half coffee and half milk - both really hot mixed at your table. And sometimes they sneak in just a little chocolate when you aren't looking.

It can be pretty good at times for desert.

Well, that's all well and good, but I want to get back to the original post where Noble seems to be testing my curiosity.

Ya know how you sometimes learn stuff (often the hard way) and you tell yourself you're never gonna forget that :-\

Well once many years ago, I was in Mass. where some snot-nosed clerk gave me a lesson in ordering coffee. I was always going to remember that and use it to impress others of my worldly wisdom ;)

Now just as soon as Captain left after a too short of visit yesterday, I realized I should have asked him if he wanted his coffee 'REGULAR" : :D :D

I have a problem with hidden secrets. They keep me awake until I find out what they are. OK Noble! I'll bite.

I'm almost afraid to ask, but, what was this lesson you were given?

Bro. Noble · December 31, 2005, 11:02:24 PM

Well, Tom, It was like this ----best I can remember:

We stopped at this little Mom and Pop store to get gas. As I was paying, I noticed they had a pot of coffee on and it sure smelled good.

Me: I'll also have a cup of coffee to go.

Clerk: regular?

Me: no, it smells awfully good, I think I'll have a large.

Him: (looking at me like I'm a moron) we just got one size.

Me: (wondering why he asked me in that case) OK

Him: (looking at me like I was a moron and in a disgusted voice) regular?

Me (really confused) I suppose.

Him (starting to put contaminates in my coffee)

Me: I'd rather have it without that stuff.

Him: What are you, some kinda wise guy?

Me: I'll tell ya what, buddy, We're just going down the road a ways to my brother-in-laws. I think I'll just wait till I get there to have my coffee ------- he'll probably have the pot on.

BIL: ya want some coffee?

Me: You bet.

BIL: regular?

Sorry it took ya so long to stick yer neck in YOUR thread, Bro. Noble. However, That last part was worth the wait. 8) 8) 8) 8) :D :D :D :D

Tom · December 31, 2005, 11:09:07 PM

Whatzit with all these guys makin' coffee milkshakes?

My wife, who doesn't drink coffee, stops at a dairy queen for .......... coffee(?).

She returns to the car with a paper cup and a round plastic top with a big hole and a straw stuck in it.

What is that?

Coffee

Lemme taste it. ..............Yuck! It crunches.

Yeah, stupid, it has ice in it.

?????? :-\

Norm · January 01, 2006, 08:08:22 AM

Well Noble that was worth the wait.

I hate coffee that has anything in it, Patty drinks hers with some kind of flavored cream. The smell is terrible but she insists it's delicious, I'm just gonna take her word for it. ;)

:D :D :D :D :D :D :D :D :D :D :D :D :D :D

Now I get it..........That's a great story there Bro. Noble

I always like my coffee regular :

Although I have been told that I am irregular

That almost sounded like Laurel and Hardy's " Who's on first" routine :D :D :D

Tom · January 01, 2006, 06:11:16 PM

Abbot and Costello, Sawguy. You young whippersnappers. :D :D

sawguy21 · January 01, 2006, 07:39:39 PM

Just testing you oldtimer :D :D :D Actually you got me. It was Abbott & Costello.

Tom · January 01, 2006, 08:30:43 PM

I love that skit. Every time one of you jokers brings it up, I have to go find it on Google and wear it out. :D

OneWithWood · January 03, 2006, 10:09:21 AM

Ah, coffee. Got off of it for a number of years, switched to green tea. Got to feeling too healthy so now I have two cups when I am at my day job. Drink green tea at home 'cause me sweet wife wants me healthy. I normally drink good coffee 'black' and strong. When I need a real buzz I have a Cafe' Mocha. Expresso with dark chocolate - yeah mow we are zipping!

Captain · January 03, 2006, 10:47:04 AM

I do prefer my corn whole and on the cob, but I just had to try those quick (NOT INSTANT) grits that Noble had. I'm not sure I can tell the difference as good as DanG can....

Captain

Bro. Noble · January 03, 2006, 11:52:10 AM

That Captain, he's allright 8) --------drinks his coffee the REGULAR way------BLACK :D :D

I did confess to him that although I like grits (even instant), my very first choice is SPUDS ;D
