2. Just try
to live without it. It'll drive you nuts. I needs my caffeine. I cannot function without it. I prefer it in Dr Pepper form. It packs a punch. I'll outdrink anyone any time when it comes to Dr P. :P

6. I like coffee
too. And it's the only thing that gets rid of my pms. It relieves the cramps and the headaches. It's a miracle drug. We should probably keep quiet about it or the government will take it away from us. I'll be like a 7-11 fiend trying to buy up the last of it. :)

3. 3 liters
of Diet Mt. Dew a day helps with 12 hours of work and 2 hours of commute.

7. Without capitalism
caffeine would be unecessary to keep up the frantic pace of work.

Without imperialism, caffeine would be unobtainable

PS. I still love my coffee

8. Coffee
Part of the reason we love Brazil so much is that they're a source of good coffee, and they know what they have. The Brazilian style is, rather than tanking up on the better part of a liter of latte in the morning (like our Starbucks aficionados), they drink small doses all day long-- "cafezinhos" in the vernacular. (The "nh" is the Portuguese way of indicating the "nyah nyah" sound, like the Spanish hang that little curlique on top of their N's.)

We now have our coffee shipped to us from a plantation in the state of Pernambuco. It's shade grown heirloom arabica, good stuff.
