the coffee corps, redux

jason baca, call the coffee corps today. it was created just for people like you, those devoted to alleviating the human misery of the coffee crisis!

it's heart-warming to see people really devoting themselves to charity work, unlike the rich society ladies here in new york that throw fancy parties and let their checkbooks do the talking. that's what karma yoga is all about: really working for others as if they were yourself.

sure, it takes money to help others -- but when you write those checks, do it with true concern. too often here in new york charity is an excuse to buy a designer dress and have champagne with those as socially connected as you'd like to be. . .

but since it's plain reality that we can't all go down with jason to oaxaca, i encourage you, dear readers, to mindfully write a check for that great charity coffee kids.

now to get off my soapbox -- the height is dizzying. . .

ok, back to earth. well, that's where this man ended up after his fit of air rage over the lack of coffee on a morning flight. naturally i disapprove of such behavior -- especially considering how bad airline coffee is. bring a thermos next time, big guy?

and a nissan thermos in the briefcase it will have to be for high-tech fans of starbucks' ummmm interesting experiment in ordering coffee to go over the internet. you could log on, order, pay an extra fee, and trot down to your local shop to pick it up.

great -- so you could get your over-priced, poorly prepared coffee cold too! it's a no-brainer why this service wasn't destined to be the internet's killer business model. what were they thinking?

need more comic relief on a cold, drizzly friday? i just love pix of bikram in a speedo -- wowza! can't believe they left that out of the online version. (log your bad self on in.)

just imagine -- this woman took a huge road trip just so a half-naked guy could leave his rolls-royce long enough to stand on her back while she's in seated forward bend. . .and everybody wears spandex!
