How do...Hey, Restonian, I have a question for you. How does that Artise Anal Coffee work? I figure it's kind of like Civet Poop coffee, where the critter eats the raw coffee bean and then the undigested seed is harvested. In the Civet case, it just comes out with the poop.<br /><br />But how do you get the bean from the Artise? Does some schmuck have pluck the seed from the anus of some poor Artise after it has eaten and digested the raw coffee berry? Does the schmuck have to stun the unsuspecting critter first or pin it to the ground in order to get the seed from said critter's butt, or does the Artise willingly cooperate? Are we now supposed to look for labels on our coffee cans/packets that state that no animals were accosted in the harvesting of this coffee?<br /><br />And just what the heck is an Artise anyways? <br /><br />Sigh. I suppose that if I had taken IB or AP courses in high school instead of doing drugs and skipping school, I might actually know the answer to that question.<br /><br />BTW, you know that Civet Poop coffee is expensive. I had heard that it costs $400/pound. Considering how much more effort must go into capturing and "expressing" the coffee bean from the critter's butt, I suspect that Artise Anal must go for something north of $600/lb. No wonder you can only afford a dropperful of the stuff.<br /><br />Well, nonetheless, all of this talk of Rectal Java makes me glad that I'm strictly a tea fan.The Convictnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6412900754136064810.post-65842204640120649302012-05-26T07:53:44.530-04:002012-05-26T07:53:44.530-04:00Anon 4:16, just because lots of people make tons o...Anon 4:16, just because lots of people make tons of $ in this county doesn't mean poor people don't exist.

That being the case, why in the world do so many of our students qualify for this kind of subsidy? I shudder to think what the percentages might be in less well heeled jurisdictions.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6412900754136064810.post-78930173848176865772012-05-24T10:35:50.841-04:002012-05-24T10:35:50.841-04:00How do you know if you're a top honors student...How do you know if you're a top honors student graduate of South Lakes High School?<br /><br />If seven years after finishing high school you still have a job at the South Lakes Shopping Center Starbucks, then you're definitely a South Lakes High School top honors student graduate.Mean Daddy Dnoreply@blogger.com
