things that you're not a junky about
 
and could never be.

1- Sex and the city
2- Americanos (coffee) - worst excuse for coffee ever invented
3- Self-help books like the one about the cheese and all the others
4- polyester (the fabric not the film)
5- pictures of flowers and landscapes on the walls

knox 01.09.2010 09:00 AM

because i think what you hate is just as important as what you like.

Dead-Air 01.09.2010 10:49 AM

cigarettes
television
mayonnaise

knox 01.09.2010 11:05 AM

television television?

Genteel Death 01.09.2010 11:21 AM

Is there anything you are a junkie about, apart from yourself?

I was a tv junky as a kid. Has done nothing for me in three decades though. I'm a midnight toker, but not a corporate smoker. Nicotine is a lame drug with little payoff. There is a nic high but it makes me feel kind of ill actually.

I know you were talking to her, but I went and edited my own junky list to put "myself" in there. Thanks for the tip!

knox 01.09.2010 11:34 AM

don't you think it's funny the way he still posts at me knowning he's on ignore? i mean, dead-air quoted it but otherwise.

i wasn't sure if you meant television the band.

It's a good thing that smokes make you feel ill. Natural protection against the silliest of addictions.

Genteel Death 01.09.2010 11:39 AM

Don't you think it's ironic?

knox 01.09.2010 11:44 AM

I hope that's not at me.

It kind of reminds me of when kids are shouting and you close the door on their faces and they continue to shout outside, even tho you can barely hear them. It takes a long time for them to get tired. I don't understand it.

Genteel Death 01.09.2010 11:52 AM

Have you got any kids?

ni'k 01.10.2010 04:37 PM

man anyone would think you had some sort of weird jealousy for knox, but that would be ridiculous wouldn't it.

since knox is always knocking peoples coffee choices i want to know what she drinks

probably a decaf double half mocha pumpkincino vanillatte from the bucks

Inhuman 01.10.2010 08:59 PM

I think she has a good point. The reason that "americanos" were popularized was because it's an "american espresso" so it's basically espresso watered down to be easier to consume. I don't like the idea either. I drink straight espresso and freshly roasted // ground Ethiopian yirgacheffe.

Things I'm not a junky about?
-TV
-Cars
-"buying shit"

knox 01.11.2010 05:27 AM

i only drink espressos, wellcharge, most of the time

i believe a good espresso is the best way to enjoy coffee

i can't stand starbucks and overcomplicating coffee

i don't think anyone has to know my name and overcharge me

also, im lactose intollerant

of course i'll have to drink anything at times given my addiction to caffeine

wellcharge 01.11.2010 06:01 AM

what factors do you look you look for to separate a good,knox-approved espresso from a bad one.

knox 01.11.2010 06:16 AM

considering the preparation being right the only factor is the quality of the coffee itself.

i dont like it very thick i can say that, but im not a barista so i dont think i can say much.

wellcharge 01.11.2010 06:17 AM

the preparation isn't simply right or wrong, there are variables which aren't nescessarily wrong

come on, gmku would write a book of a post if somebody questioned his fabric knowledge

knox 01.11.2010 06:20 AM

as for the beans, my favourite are:
brazilian
colombian
italian

well, with espresso the golden rule i believe is that the contact between the coffee and the water is as quick as possible. so in my opinion most espressos are decent.

like i said im not a barista or a connoisseur just a caffeine addict.

wellcharge 01.11.2010 06:27 AM

do you prefer a stovetop preparation or a machine

knox 01.11.2010 06:29 AM

machine, but both will do

i just cant stand filter coffee or the plunger, because both are bitter and upset my stomach

wellcharge 01.11.2010 06:33 AM

wrong answer unfortunately

knox 01.11.2010 06:39 AM

ive noticed that you like discussing for the sake of it.

wellcharge 01.11.2010 06:42 AM

i'm actually making a big list of interview questions so i can find a knoxlike co-conspirator to lure keepingitsimple to the pub where i will steal his wallet

knox 01.11.2010 06:46 AM

shame you're not actually preparing some interesting coffee facts to share with us

wellcharge 01.11.2010 06:48 AM

if you meet up with me in bosnia i can get you interesting coffee, otherwise you're doomed to drink from machines

knox 01.11.2010 06:50 AM

now i have a cranberries song stuck in my head, thank you very much

wellcharge 01.11.2010 06:53 AM

do you mean thank you very much as in you like the cranberries and appreciate what i have done?

i don't know any cranberries songs and i am curious as to how i could do that,i amaze myself

i'm coming with enough stupid questions to put keepingitsimple to shame

wellcharge 01.11.2010 06:54 AM

actually you know that sentence would make a good song, assuming the cranberries have not used the exact same lyric

knox 01.11.2010 07:03 AM

its one that goes

booosnia

knox 01.11.2010 07:03 AM

Sarajevo, sarajevo, sarajevo
Bosnia was so unkind
Sarajevo, sarajevo, sarajevo
Bosnia was so unkind

knox 01.11.2010 07:04 AM

to be honest it is a very annoying song

wellcharge 01.11.2010 07:06 AM

so bosnia means nothing to you but lyrics huh

i am dissapoint

knox 01.11.2010 07:25 AM

floatingslowly 01.11.2010 09:47 AM

I hate everything. does that make me a hate junky?

ps: my workplace announced a few weeks ago that they would no longer be paying for coffee. most people would be upset. I used it as an opportunity to sell $1.50 cups of coffee and now I'm filthy stinking rich. and by rich, I mean, Columbian dark roast.
