This gets me in the mood for some Earl Grey.

Crikey, I knew I had to wee for some reason.

[M0GLO]

That's awesome!

Oh, damn, I'm one of those numbers.
Just another statistic, woe is me... :lol:

"This gets me in the mood for some Earl Grey."

Just follow Dr. Beverly Crusher's advice, don't drink it before bed time. It's the original "energy drink", the herb is more powerful than caffeine. That brings me around to an interesting point, if the replicators only produced synthahol why did they produce tea the captain got high on? Why did a Frenchman speak with a cultured Oxford accent? How did the Klingons evolve from Mongols to Blacks with butt heads in only a few generations? How did the mouse eating aliens from V manage to infiltrate Starfleet? These are the unanswered questions one encounters when you're on a five year mission spanning Generations aboard the starship Intercourse going where no man has gone before.

Earl Grey, hot.

Earl Grey is good for smokin' too!

When the authoritahs would take our cigs from us in our teen years, or the teachers would confiscate them, we would make pipes out of the old toothpaste tubes, and throw some Earl Grey in there. Light up, and boy, we were happy for quite a bit!

[al2n]

Make it so.

[kc9kow]

Make what so? WTF did I miss?

Sounds like a Star Trek – The Next Generation response in the affirmative.

Sadly, I understand every reference in this silly post. :(

and I thought that I drank a lot of tea!

Earl Grey is not a favorite, I'll drink it is nothing else is about. I prefer a good orange peako (I know I did not spell that correct).

When in China, they kept bringing me green tea or jasmine tea, until I learned how to say "black english tea" in chinese.

It's peko, not pico. 8)

[HUGH]

I reckon Assam tea is the strongest, a good "wake-up" brew. Not before bed-time though!
It was put to me by a Romanian migrant to the US that "we", meaning US citizens, "only drink tea when we are unwell". Where did she get that idea?
My only complaint is that tea often ends up looking look dishwater especially on US airlines. Perhaps they are frightened to make it too strong in case the passenger goes on the rampage?

My wife is a heavy tea drinker.

I really don't care for the stuff.

I don't drink coffee that much either.

I'd much rather have juice in the morning. Keeps the immunity up.

[n2ize]

Tea ? Nah . I prefer coffee.

[W7XF]

GIMME COFFEE AND NO ONE GETS HURT!!! 8) :roll:

I honestly don't believe it's possible to survive if you don't drink coffee after getting out of bed. It might be, but I don't want to find out.

I love good ice tea but some of the stuff that gets sold as ice tea, especially some of the bottled stuff, must be runoff from the floors getting cleaned at the local dairy...no, wait, that's an insult to cow droppings...

[HUGH]

Don't knock tea drinkers please just because we prefer it but I agree about the dishwater some manufacturers label as "Iced Tea". I do drink coffee but not the instant variety. Depending on what you've eaten, a good Turkish/Greek/Armenian coffee always goes well with a brandy after an evening meal. (Or possibly two brandies).

Hot morning breakfast tea is just one of those habits I've picked up in my life travels. The cup of tea every morning was not picked up in England but from the time I lived in the Northwest frontier of Pakistan.

"instant coffee" is right up there with "military intelligence" and "honest politician."

turns out that the instant coffee crystals, when smooshed into ice cream, are a tasty treat.
