I'm sure my kids will eat all the donuts, and Mr. Coffee will polish off the Starbucks.
I'm just trying to live up to the reputation that PP gave me of being a Jack Mormon. ;)
Starbucks makes awesome hot chocolate, and their Vanilla Frappachinos rock, too! Neither one of these drinks has coffee. They will be available for all non-coffee drinkers.

We'll just all be on a massive sugar high. LOL
A local coffee shop here (it's a university town) sells the "All Nighter": 5 shots of espresso in steamed half-and-half. Scary.
As I look at the sharp contrast between your stated perception of DCP and Runtu's, I am wondering if what you are actually defining is "projection"?
The hostility and disdain you have towards DCP, as contrasted with Runtu's kindly view of him, seems a bit puzzling to me given that this thread is about something that occured between Runtu and DCP, and has nothing to do with you. Have you considered introspecting to see why you are so bent out of shape for something that happened to Runtu, when he considers it "no big deal"? Have you thought to explore inwardly why you let DCP have so much control over your disposition?
Just trying to help.
Thanks, -Wade Englund-
Well, I've said this before and I'll say it again here: I don't know DCP. When I make comments about him, I'm actually referring to his online persona, not to the man himself. For all I know, what he presents is a fictional caricature of who he really is (I sort of suspect this... or maybe I hope that it's true, for the benefit of all mankind).
But the real point I'd like to make here is that I'm not bent out of shape about what DCP may or may not have done to Runtu. I actually have no idea what that was. My comments are the result of my direct interaction with DCP's online persona back when I participated at FAIR. And I wouldn't even characterize my own thoughts on him as feeling "bent out of shape." I was regularly entertained by our interactions. I like to make fun of him these days because it's funny to me, and occasionally, it's funny to others. The best comedy is that which contains a grain of truth and to which people can relate.
I don't get upset about what people say in an online forum. That's just crazy. I have no idea where those thoughts are coming from or the motivation behind them, so to let it "have control over my disposition" would be silly and neurotic.
Thanks for asking, though.
I can accept that. However, like you intimated, the best comedy contains a grain of truth, and I would suggest that applies as well to the would-be jokester as it does the one being joked about. So, in that sense, I believe my questions still apply, though I am not intent on pursuing them. ;-)
As I see it, there is a huge difference between good and uplifting humor, and bad and mutually degrading mockery. And, with that in mind, may I in good humor suggest you not give up your day job to become a comedian. ;-)

I am certainly open to REASONABLY exploring that I have--recognizing that if this is the case, then it would beneficial to me to take back control. Could you point to where and how you see my disposition being controlled by you--particularly something comparable to what I saw in the seemingly revealing tone and content of your post?
In other words, do you honestly think my appropose exploritory questions to you is as revelaing about me as your unwarranted and harsh mokery of DCP is revealing about you, particularly in terms of control over one's disposition? I personally don't see it, but again I am open to you REASONABLY explaining your point of view.

You reminded me of what happened yesterday. My parents arrived for a visit, and my dad said to my wife, "Well, you two look good. John's lost weight." She was not particularly happy about it. LOL

I think my father has lost his sense of propriety as he's aged. Not that he ever had one.
Yeah it sounds like he broke Rule #1 in the Man's Guide To Survival which reads, "Don't ever comment on a person of the opposite sex's weight, shape, or figure. It doesn't matter if she is an Olympic Athlete with .4% body fat, you must never mention a member of the opposite sex's weight, shape, or figure".....This rule is coupled with Rule #2 which reads...."Don't ever insult anyone who may prepare food for you...it's quite possible you may someday find something beside Noodles in your Razor Noodle Soup."
Personally I always keep a Twix handy so that I can shove it in my mouth and do the whole "IDOonnenmooooo" mumble when asked for an opinion by a girlfriend.
