You need coffee for WHAT???

[wolfie]

OK, now I'm stuck thinking about that coffee that's super super expensive because some animal craps out the beans for it. (i.e. rich people will buy anything if you charge enough and put the words 'rare' on the tag).

One sign I'd like to see at a "greasy spoon" diner (or other type of place that's notorious for serving cheap coffee):

Kopi Loqui is the world's rarest and most expensive coffee. At the peak of ripeness, the berries are picked and eaten by civet cats, and the beans are collected from their droppings. If you say our coffee tastes like shit, we'll take it as a compliment.

Thank you, Irving . . .I SO did not need that mental image in my head now.

And I think I'll just stick with drinking my coffee, thankyouverymuch.

Ditto about 1 million times over

I am so glad that I don't drink coffee right now. Honestly, if they ever come up with a beer enema, it may give me pause.

Oh, that's a pretty common thing. Also really dangerous (so let's laugh about it, right?).

At Ye Olde Smoothie Shoppe we had customers come in all the time for wheatgrass to use for enemas. We even had a book about it.

I just wish they would TELL us that what it's for! Ignorance is bliss sometimes!

When I worked with a theater group, we mopped the stage floor with coke. Not diet coke, just regular coke. Something about it gave the dancers a good grip on the floor, they didn't slide or slip.

And one of the technical guys had to get a condom for every show to put on something. I don't remember what. some piece of stage equipment.

vloglady, that is probably because coke gets fairly sticky while it's drying. that would tend to be why the dancers weren't slipping or sliding.

Those were actually popular when I was in high school. Yeah, its a thing. Mayans actually did it (not with beer but another strong alcoholic beverage).

Could be dangerous though if the dancers actually need to be able to slide over the stage (like ballet.) Not sliding when you should be sliding can actually be more damaging then sliding when you're not supposed to be!

When I said the beer enema would give me pause, I meant just that...pause. I wouldn't actually DO it, but at least with beer, there's an attraction there. With coffee, I just don't see it. Coffee enemas? No thank you. I take my coffee in one way: not at all.

To put it simply, I am the 7-Up of coffee: never had it, never will.

(Yes, I've tasted it. Whatever. You know what I mean.)

[Andara Bledin]

Well, a coffee enema is done for a reason completely and utterly different from why a person would drink coffee.

An alcohol enema, on the other hand, is done for almost precisely the same reason as you would imbibe, so it makes sense to have a preference regarding method of intake.

Apparently they did that in Moulin Rouge for either the Tango sequence or the Like A Virgin sequence (can't remember which).

Re the condoms, it may have been for a microphone or similar if it was in an awkward spot. Condoms have been used for it because they can protect against mould and mildew.

Ah, but there is more than one reason to imbibe. Let's compare!

REASONS FOR ALCOHOL ENEMA:
1. To get fucked up.

REASONS FOR DRINKING ALCOHOL:
1. To enjoy the taste.
2. To pair with food.
3. To socialize.
4. It's football season!
5. For research purposes. Seriously. In my profession, there are times when tasting different things is done for research to see what new products we will carry for our guests.
6. To get fucked up.

I have trouble believing that the alcohol enema would be used for any purpose other than the one.

Of course, if there are some people out there having a Sunday NFL football party where people are getting alcohol enemas, please, by all means, DON'T invite me!

An enema? A coffee enema? An organic coffee enema? Why..what...why... *speechless*

Yes, haven't you heard about the new coffee enemas? They're supposed to be ALL THE RAGE, and leave your insides as clean as a whistle!

(long story short, went to a friends party, ate/drank something I shouldn't have, wound up with serious constipation and didn't go to the hospital for almost a week. When I did, I was blocked about 2/3 of the way through the large intestine and had to receive a GnO enema)

My dad almost died from not going to the doctor about severe constipation. his bowels burst. they told my mom IF he survived the night, they would give him a 50% chance to survive the weekend.

I did go to the doctor about it, but initially freaked out at the idea of having an enema. Turns out that the one he would've given me didn't work anyway!
The nurse I had called herself the "poo queen" because she wound up doing the enema for me and has done it so many times. While I played with my DS, she put me right at ease
