Voulez vous cafe avec moi?

Jacob Grier has more thoughts on DC coffee culture. He also plugs Big Bear Cafe, where I went for the first time on Monday, and I second the motion; it's got the best cup of coffee I've had since I moved to DC.

There is nothing more tedious than coffee addicts babbling about their stupid beverage.

...with the possible exception of smarmy hecklers showing up to harrass people for enjoying a commonality interest.

I can think of tons of things that are more tedious, Moe. Stop being such a douchebag.

There is nothing more tedious than coffee addicts babbling about their stupid beverage.

Except a gang of libertarians and Randians parsing health care, of course.

Are there too many African-Americans there, or too few?

An anony-mouse types: "...with the possible exception of smarmy hecklers showing up to harrass people for enjoying a commonality interest."

I may have been wrong. I failed to consider people who would use a phrase like "commonality interest" when "common interest" says exactly the same thing without the strained and stupid effort to appear bright.

It didn't work, Tralfaz.

The top 10 things more tedious than coffee addicts babbling, etc:

10. MySpace "friend request" porn spam

9. email from strangers asking for your help in getting money out of Africa

8. Anything Ben Stein has ever written, ever (love him on TV, but heaven help me, don't let the man near a keyboard)

7. William F. Buckley on TV (love his writing, but don't let him near a TV camera)

6. P.J. O'Rourke trying to be Serious

5. most of PBS's programming that doesn't involve either Lincoln Center or muppets

4. Tucker Carlson trying to be Funny

3. people who take the time to note all the pop-culture references in Family Guy episodes, and post their findings in wiki-type websites

2. people who take the time to comment on such websites with intricate, well-researched arguments regarding why the first set of people are wrong and misinformed

1. people who have nothing better to do than write: "There is nothing more tedious than coffee addicts babbling about their stupid beverage."

I assumed all the recent carbon tax blather, was really just a ploy to make the health care blather seem more interesting.

If I may recommend Murky's, both on Capitol Hill and in Arlington. One of the top 10 or 20 shops in the nation.

I typo'd out an "of". You know, as in "commonality of interest", which happens to be a, uh, common expression. You're right, that makes me look like an idiot, omitting a preposition like that. Or rather, like of. However, you're going to need to work on that delivery; I heard a slight whistling twang that could have been the beginning of a zhhiiinnngg, but it was missing that crisp snap at the beginning and had no reverberation at all.

That's okay, though; your voice will change soon, and then you'll be able to go deep enough to put a clean finish on it.
