This is me again.
I have responded to a bunch of comments, but don’t yet see them posted.
But rest assured I’ve not left.
But I am getting a kick out of being called —
Noob
troll
Liberal
Communist
and my favorite, an Indian
Anyway, I’m here to discuss the issues.
thank you,
Gupta Parthameshanki.
Okay, that's funny right there, I don't care who you are.
Glad to see that the administrator resurrected you and that you appear to be a real boy and not a troll. Welcome to freerepublic, sincerely. You're going to be fine here.
Welcome to Free Republic.
Whatever floats your boat, chief.
(get it? Indian.... chief )
As part of your NOOB training and initiation, my response is,,,
ARE YOU LOGGED ON?
(once you get that joke, you are no longer a noob)
If you survive your first week, you’ll do fine.
We can be rough.
And we can have a wierd sense of humor.
My coffee is legendary in its horrible effects on life:
In 12 cup drip percolator pot, fill to 6 cup mark with water.
In filter, put 6 heaping scoops of coffee.
Medium roast works best, just make sure it’s a robust blend.
Found a maxwellhouse ‘medium roast’ that was rather anemic.
Put pinch of salt in filter, about as much as it would take to cover the surface of a dime with one even layer.
This keeps the coffee from tasting burned too quickly, it doesn’t age well brewed this way.
Brew, recirculate if need be, usually not.
Add sugar and dairy creamer.
Creamora and coffeemate are not recommended unless you like the heart racing that Ranger Pudding gives.
That, and the nondairy creamer will give you both a headache and a buzz with the coffee.
I usually put about 8 spoons of sugar in this stuff, it ends up being like Russian Kava, thick and sweet with that bitter overtone to it.
Oh, and I am NOT responsible for seeming demonic possession of the coffeepot, or the coffeepot ending up acting as if it has been damaged.
