The lengths to which people will go to prove themselves 'cool'
and 'exclusive' truly have no bounds.
Take the latest buzz on Kopi Luwak Coffee....
It's coffee that has to be eaten by a Paradoxus hermaphroditus and
then shat out before it can be roasted and drank.
Because it's 'rare' and 'hard to collect intact',
people are willing to pay lots for it. $50 us a cup. I also believe because
it's expensive, people then proclaim it's the best coffee they
have ever tasted.
Here's what it looks like 'straight from the source'
NOW, I love coffee... I drink it every fucking day. If we have a
catastrophe, I'll be roaming the streets jacking corpses for the
coffee in their commuter mugs.
BUT, I'll go cold fucking turkey before I start visiting the litterbox
for my cup of joe.
People suck, and until the end of time they will do anything to prove they
are cool. I'll never be cool enough to drink shit.
So, Aside from the unrelated, yet natural and magnificent tits, I have a
question b0gsters (and dear b0gettes!)........
WOULD YOU DRINK SOME CATSHIT COFFEE? Would you PAY for it? I mean
just because I'm not cool doesn't mean that you aren't super
fucking cool...

I'm sure the taste is... unique. It's like those
audiophile folk: they'll buy all this expensive shit
thinking it'll give them better sound, but even if they
actually hear a difference--any difference, good or
bad--they'll tout it as sounding "better."
I wouldn't mind trying it (for cheap or free), but whether
or not it is actually "good" remains to be seen--or
tasted.

personally I think the more complicated and twatty the coffee a person
has, the bigger the cunt they are. If for eg a person orders a
"catshit grande half full cream, half skimmed, mocha latte, double
shot espresso, with one sweetex and one spoon of natural golden cane
sugar," they therefore would be a cunt of most epic proportions.
I don't like coffee and usually I drank like 5-6 coffees each year,
that means when friends offered one and I didn't want to refuse.
BTW now that I work a lot in a sheltered environment I tend to drink coffee
just because I'd feel bored without something 'physical' to
do (lifting a mug, sipping, bitching because it's cold, repeat).
But if coffee disappeared from the world I wouldn't twitch an eye.
Beer, on the other side... but that's another topic.
oer to be OT, no, I wouldn't drink shit coffee and I would laugh
till I have a heart attack if someone paid $50 just for a cup of
coffee. Like I do every time someone pays shitloads of money for
something that isn't worth it just because it's hip or cool.
Take sushi. 299 NOK (€ 35) for 16 bits. Yeah right.
My coffe addiction is ridiculous. Half a day without and I get massive
headaches. 8-12 cups a day ever since I stopped drinking coca cola and
such.
I would hesitate drinking the shit-coffee if I that was the only coffee
left in the world.
Personally, i've always tended to prefer the cheaper versions of
things...
i prefer a nice, fatty chuck steak over a t-bone, a coors light over some
expensive, preppy import or micro-beer.
i think a lot of this comes from people who find it easier to acquire money
than it is to find creative ways to dispose of it.
they don't want to hoard it and have their family fight over it when
they are gone, so they spend it on gold shit glitter pills, fancy
mushrooms, and shit coffee.
i don't personally have a problem with this, because it redirects the
money back to the lower echelons of society. i doubt if the rich and
powerful get too involved in making shit coffee.
I grew up very poor, and the child of generations of poor people.
We ate frogs legs and beans
We didn't wear shoes in warm weather because it saved on
shoes.
We hung our laundry to dry.
We walked where we needed to go.
We grew a garden and canned food because if you didn't then you
DIDN'T FUCKING EAT!
People who are up their own ass because they have money are a
continual source of amusement to me. Particularly now because a
little shady dealing can get you sent to prison (Hi Martha, Hi Jeff!)
where you get to enjoy cafeteria food instead of a nice shiraz and
surprise sex in a gang shower instead of a personal massage.
i was the 2nd child of a single mother who moved to a railroad
town during a railroad strike.
we didn't have a garden because we didn't have any
property.
i've starved (literally), but it's not about that for
me.
rather than being angry at people for living 'the good
life' when i couldn't, i prefer to try to get some of
that for myself. maybe not to the point of drinking 'shit
coffee'. what's the point if there's no light at
the end of the tunnel? these people spend foolishly because they
don't have to spend cautiously, and because they
don't know any better.
When it comes to food, some of the more expensive varieties of things
are tastier, especially cuts of beef. In the end though, it's
not the price or label, it's about what you enjoy.
I also enjoy the fact that I won't pay for that food all the
time, as I appreciate it more, even just because it's different.
It'd be a sad day when I have to drink $50 shit-coffee to taste
something new and unique.
That coffee is so 5 years ago.
I mean the mentioning of it. If people are stupid enough to pay alot of
money for shit, let them. They're the fucktards.
well, animalcoffee.com provided me with the poo photos, so I enjoyed
seeing it.
They also sell little acrylic keychains with the poo pods preserved
inside for all eternity.
I'm truly half tempted to buy one myself as a reminder of what
people will pay when they are convinced that a certain kind of crap is
hip or cool or elite.
But then I'd be a cunt who bought catshit coffee....
Drink Shit and Die
