OK, random thread with no real direction (kinda like the milk duds one)...
I just brewed a pot of coffee with 3X the necessary amount of tablespoons (yes, I have no money and am therefore VERY bored)...it's now two cups later and I've been wandering around the house looking for things to do. And to think, I've had the stuff in my cupboard for months.
Anyone else get crazy shaky with too much caffeine? |

Good luck to you! My son had to go to Childrens Hospital in DC for testing, he had some pretty serious SVT. Oddly enough, it has resolved on it's own. The docs were great there. |

This is true, Peanuts came long before Arrgh!, but I still think Chas may have gotten it from pirate movies even before that. I doubt the pirates pillaged it from Peanuts.
Strangely, I cannot find anything on the derivation of Arrgh, but I did discover that it is called an attitudinal or emotional indicator, along with a bunch of other nonsensical words you will not find in the dictionary. For more info on this, see this link:

Actually the comic book ARRGH came out in 1974, but I am sure I heard it in pirate movies long before that. I bet it grew out of the pirate usage Arrgh, me bucko!!! Where's the Capt when you need him.
Interesting question by the way!! |

Yep, i'm currently making a pot, then adding a little 'international delight,' french vanilla.

Caffine is my drug of choice these days...working as a pizza delivery person requires that extra "UMPH" to stay awake over the course of a full day at work. I like to have a cup first thing as I come in the door and another one right before the dinner rush...along with an insanely strong cup of espresso, thus ensuring maximum alertness. |

I live in Delaware and work at the local hospital here. So what kind of doctoring are you going to do? The docs are going to miss me when I go to the OR, but I can still bug them when they have OR cases, LOL! |

Hey Dickey500 good luck. I'm a nurse for too long, LOL! You must learn to listen to the nurses, we are your eyes and ears..... Take it from an old nurse, we can make you or break you! Hee hee, just kidding.... I'm from Jersey too. Where are you from? I grew up in Ocean County. I've been a labor and delivery nurse for 14 years and I'm ready for a change. I go to the OR next month. Can't wait! |

Oh wow, frappucino with chocolate icecream I will have to remember that one.....mega calories but probably worth it, hehe.
I just drank a whole pot of coffee myself and funny thing is I don't feel hyper at all! I don't think caffine does it for me any more!

Posted - 01/20/2003 : 12:25:50 PM
I'll probably end up doing residency in NJ...yahoo, home again.
I'm in full agreement with the frappucino comment...and I'll even give you a little secret I figured out:
take a frappucino (or two) and stick it in the blender with two scoops of chocolate ice cream. Goddamn...delicious AND chocked full o' energy. AMEN. |

Posted - 01/20/2003 : 11:36:24 AM
I really like those cold coffee's, like the frappacinos(sp?). damn those things are tasty! and the double shot of espresso you can buy in a can, that's pretty caffienated(sp?)!! |

Yeah, actually I am, you know what they say about all work and no play! Glad to hear you do more than study!
Do you know where you will be interning at yet? |

Posted - 01/20/2003 : 02:42:51 AM
yeah - I'm studying for the MD (nice work on remembering that). The coffee has nothing to do with work though...my roommate and I wanted to stay up and play with the new Xbox. Yup, 4 months shy of graduation, and I'm playing video games still. Aren't you all proud?

If not, then drink some extra Mountain Dew.

That idea Jay...is brilliant! Good ole' caffiene.  |

Oh you poor thing! Glad it did the trick, but for someone who loves coffee the thought of using the grinds twice is like scratching ones nails on a chalkboard! Yuk!
My daughter works at Starbucks (she's officially a Barista (sp?)) and she gets a free pound of coffee beans each week.....gotta love a daughter who brings home the beans!hehehe
Hey, aren't you studying to be a doctor? Pretty much explains why you would NEED the caffine. |
| Dickey500 |
Posted - 01/19/2003 : 12:29:10 PM
yup, I actually used the grounds TWICE. I put a lot of sugar in my cups from the second batch and it kinda tasted like tea...did the trick though. |

Posted - 01/18/2003 : 10:33:25 PM
Black coffee seems to work better for when you need to get up. A full, laxtose-infused cup of joe will relax you. I can drink coffee before going to bed and I can still sleep. Of course, it takes me lots of caffiene to get hyper anymore...I think i have soem sort of tolerance thing. |

Posted - 01/17/2003 : 11:05:38 PM
Ohhhh please tell me you didn't really do that! Yuk! Bitter coffee! Oh but you are young...you can handle it!hehehe |
| Dickey500 |
Posted - 01/17/2003 : 11:01:36 PM
well, the first pot's wearing off....the second pot is now brewing. I went ghetto-style and left the grounds from the first brew in for the second brew.
Damn you, money...why don't you ever want to hang out with ME? |

Posted - 01/17/2003 : 10:49:27 PM
I love my coffee!!!! Must have it in the morning, other times can do without. I can drink some right before I go to bed and still sleep like a baby. |

I haven't had any caffiene in my system ever since the beginning of summer. All I can say is that I sleep better and my heart beats regularly. |
