There's no more coffee in the coffee pot.

I dunno whether to laugh or cry.

*Scrabbles around for a tea bag in her purse*

Nothing. I drank all the tea I had. Dammmity damn damn!!!

Ms Eff, counting change to see if she has enough for a goddamn soda. (I do. Pity I'm not into soda. But right now I'm not picky.)

No coffee in the coffee pot?!?! Good god, woman...this is an emergency!! We have coffee brewing here in the office all day long. Want me to hop in my car and run some over there for you?

I'm like you - I'll drink soda in an emergency, for the caffeine effect.

But we used to call it pop - has the Twin Cities lingo changed, too?

?!!?!?You mean...CoffeeWoman's coming to the rescue?!?!?

*Hears the whoosh of Cyn flying through the air with a pot of coffee and some whipped cream, steam fogging her glasses*

Yaaaaay!!! Save me, CoffeeWoman!!!

MS Eff, painting a big red target on the ground and positioning a huge ceramic mug right in the center....Can she hit the Bull's Eye and make it back for lunch?

No, it's still Pop but I'm a Navy Brat Minnesotan--I sometimes lapse into a "Soda" from time to time.

or "Sodapop" to combine cultures:)

Ms Eff, noncaffeinated still...RRRRRrrrrr.

People on the ground are pointing at the sky...Look!! It's a bird, it's a plane...it's....ARRRRGGGGGHHHH she's missing the mug and pouring hot coffee on us!!!

In Texas...we just call everything Coke...as in:

Person A: I'd like a coke.
Person B: What kind?
Person A: Sprite

I guess Coke marketing really works down in Texas.

*Obligingly puts her back to the mug and pushes...*

"OOOg...huff huff huff..EEEK!"

*dodges rain of hot brown goodness...but some of it lands in the mug!!!!*

"Yyaaaaaay! Thanks, Coffeewoman!!!

MS Eff, slurping down the good stuff and wringing out her shirt.

*grin* I had a roommate from Makin, Georgia that did the same thing. I always giggled. (But seriously, we're worse, here in Minnesota--we have "Hot Dish" Scarry stuff:)

I also had the privilege of introducing her to her first bagel. She was *highly* suspicious of it.
(Hey, early 90's!) But eventually it's bready goodness won her over.

MS Eff, drinking a big Pop..no, soda..no, diet Coke!! (it is coke today:)

Victory is mine!

You're welcome! Put a little aloe on those coffee burns.

CoffeeWoman averts yet one more caffeine related disaster...all in a day's work...

Now back to the office to refuel. whoooooooosh

I've pretty much become acclimated to the "soda" thing. But maybe I should come outta the closet and say POP, say it loud and say it proud!

Yes, I, Serendipity, drink POP, so there! Phhbbtt!

[low-delta.livejournal.com]

I'd say you've had enough coffee!

Re:

[msfledermaus.livejournal.com]

Say it loud, I drink Pop and I'm proud!!!
*Heh!*

MS Eff, ya sure, you betcha!

Re:

[msfledermaus.livejournal.com]

But I didn't have ANY this monring!!!*sniffle*

Except for what Cyn, aka Coffeewoman brought!!!
(Da da dum,. dada da dauuuuuum!!!):)

MS Eff, with green tea, much better.
(Yes, I'm a caffeine-junkie. There are worse addictions:)
