The Happiness Thread

The Whittard has Vanilla Sundae black tea - I won't go tea-starved when I move to England!

Also just learned that Brits doesn't seem to like Lipton Tea... which is one of the most common tea-brands in Sweden. Me and Lost have discussed in the past why you can rarely find it in stores even if it's from the UK. Apparently I'm not going to make a good Brit with my tea taste...

 

Lipton is owned by Pepsi. Crazy that is.

You do realise you have to pass a two hour tea-test at customs?

Literally, none of you will be allowed into England. I'm sorry, but you have brought this on yourselves.

 

OK, Dapper Hooligan is fine. Knows who Oliver Reed is!

 

Tastes like dirty water.

 

Not just a tea test, but a tea test that conforms to International Standard ISO 3103.

 

Exactly!
Lemie, you've fallen for an Englishman. If he was raised here, he'll be 87% tea.

 

Followed by the impossible biscuit quiz?

 

Don't get me started

 

Whiskey is just wheat tea that's been left out too long.

 

My years of drinking paper-tasting-green-tea give me special entry to all other tea drinking places.

I carry my Green-tea card everywhere.

 

Mmm... Green tea

 

Tea sucks. Homer Potvin, I'm surprised at you.

 

Mmm... I'd forgotten about cocoa

 

On my desk right now I have a cold cup of coffee, a half a cup of tea, an unopened can of cream soda, a fresh Gin and Tonic, and a bottle of acetone.

 

Sounds like the mixings for a Virgin Pan Galactic Gargle Blaster.

 

I was saving that for a special occasion.

 

Congrats, it`s quite the weight lifted feeling, isn`t it?

I mean......it`s rain and overcast here every day here in western PA....I also live in a place called Flood City so that may just be it, Ether way between that and my love of all tea I should be an honorary Brit.

This isn`t actually that far from what I imagine Dapper looks like in real life.

On the tea debate, I love all types of tea. Black, fruity, green, iced, sweet, herbal, and etc. Even wild lettuce, mint, and dandelion teas all made from what we pick from the yard and mint bed.

The bubble tea fad is also very interesting. A tea shop actually opened up here and I wanted to like it and get teas, and loose leaves but it`s poorly run, nothing is labeled, and the owners a snob.

If you want a good subistue for your morning coffee stop find a place that`ll make a nice hot cup of Chai tea.

Moving on from tea I have a crooked ankle from a car crash as a kid, and it causes problems. On my feet, all day and crooked ankle lead to everything else going crooked. Wear-through shoes on that foot like no tomorrow. About walk with a limp after a long shift with that ankle. Bought a compression brace sleeve thing for it and it seems to be improving things. Happy for that.

 

While I do complain about Kanji a lot (and rightfully so, fucking Kanji), there is something akin to feeling appreciative while studying the intricacies of another language. Makes me happy, even though Kanji does not. Sometimes.

 

Do not smoke after drinking that acetone - unless you want to lear why dragons died away.
