Here is what I say about decaf................

By the way, did you know that coffee is the second most traded commodity in the world right after oil? Time to invade Columbia, I say!

Um, you do know that Columbia is a reference to the U.S., right?

Yeah, I know, same here, but you've got a lot more decaf options other than 7-11 junk and Sanka...

The coffee machine at college is beyond awesome. One dollar for a pretty decently sized cup with the best French Vanilla Cappachino I've ever had.

For some reason that picture really looks like a rendering to me. Do you have any info on how it was taken?

Edit: I'm not suggesting it actually is a rendering, I'm just wondering what conditions would produce such an image.

Did you guys know that caffeine causes serious dilerium?
I don't know what that is, but it sounds serious. I got it from a movie, so it couldn't possibly be untrue.

I like Mocha. The hot kind, w/ whipped cream.

I believe it.

I've seen the faces of some of the people in my building who don't get their morning coffee. Delirium defined. One time, I caught a lady sucking on a filter full of discarded coffee grinds trying to get her fix.....just kidding.

Are you referring to my picture? Well, I just put my plain PowerShot S40 on some note cards (you can see them reflecting white in the picture), used a big white piece of paper as a background and shot the picture. It was all done in a hurry cause I didn't want the coffee to get cold. Then I just tweaked it a little in Photoshop.

Blech! Coffee stunts your growth. Yuck.

Hence why I've drank coffee since I was 11, yet I'm still 6'0".

I don't think I could live at all without coffee. My day doesn't really get going until I get that third cup in the morning. I typically have about 5-6 cups in the morning (we're talking mug-sized, not that 8 oz. "pretenda-cup"), then about 1 - 1 1/2 pots during the course of the workday, then I go home and finish off the rest of the pot from the morning while I watch the news (another 4-5 cups).

Eeeewww...you go home and drink 8 hour old coffee?! That's just nasty.

You have a coffee problem man... two pots a day is not good for you.

I brew myself a nice double, tall, wet Cappuchino every morning after breakfast. Using Illy coffee. Lovely.

uh, yeah, but look how much taller you could have been!

The "it stunts your growth" thing was made up by overprotective and agrivated mommies who didn't want their little fellows bouncing off of the walls.

This is not healthy. You are begging for a urinary tract infection at best. You need more water in your body to flush this stuff out.

But....but....coffee is made with water...

Wow man.....you are hard core with the coffee. I'll have a cup or two in the morning when I am bored, and that's it.

I am ashamed to admit that I have on occasion used the "pretenda-cup".
