Re:The Bard's Not Here Coffee Shop, New for 2008 - 06/30/2008Hadn't even noticed. Leave it to you, of course. It's interesting how that sort of resonates, though...
SOOOOO..... since it's chat-about-anything hour, I'll just mention I read Charles Frazier's most recent, Thirteen Moons, and though it was not the worst book I've read, I'm wishing I'd spent that time reading something else. It was my book group's choice for this month, so I felt obligated.
I just started a new book called Case Histories by Kate Atkinson. I'm only a few chapters in and already three people have died -- two of them violently. Not usually my genre but it's supposed to be a good book.
If anyone here has read either and wants to chime in a few cents' worth, by all means..........
(no spoilers, though, please)
By the way, IS there anyone else here? Someone needs to tell the Bard to come empty his tip jar before antryg gets any big ideas.

Re:The Bard's Not Here Coffee Shop, New for 2008 - 06/28/2008For your edification and enjoyment... the Word of the Day at Dictionary.com from two days ago (much too good and, somehow, relevant to leave behind):
Cockaigne kah-KAYN, noun: An imaginary land of ease and luxury.
Everyone was seeking renewal, a golden century, a Cockaigne of the spirit. -- Umberto Eco, Foucault's Pendulum
Cockaigne comes from Middle English cokaygne, from Middle French (pais de) cocaigne "(land of) plenty," ultimately adapted or derived from a word meaning "cake."
mmmmmmm.... cake.......

Re:The Bard's Not Here Coffee Shop, New for 2008 - 06/26/2008You thought we used water to make the coffee? This shop sells Stolifee and Coffichnaya.

Re:The Bard's Not Here Coffee Shop, New for 2008 - 06/26/2008At least you decided to use your power for good and not evil.
Hey, that's something. [pat on the back]
BAAARRRRISTA? Apparently the Bard has left the building. I'll just get it me-self. Any vodka back there?

Re:The Bard's Not Here Coffee Shop, New for 2008 - 06/26/2008It's been long for many years... actually got sick of it back in April and hacked about 5 inches off on an unfortunate whim. Kids, don't try this at home.
At least it grows back fast.
Iced coffee, please, barista. Baby, it's hot outside.
