brought to you by beaners

I'll let you in on a little secret. I've never been much of a coffee drinker, but I've found things I like. my all-time favorite (despite my beaners obsession) is urban mill's road warrior (with caramel added, of course). It's a cold drink I get almost every time work requires me to be downtown. it's like a small reward. anyway, part of what makes it so great is because it has ground espresso beans in it.

so I'm at beaners tonight, and I see their chocolate covered espresso beans package. I've seen this before. (I've been here before) Today I decide, "Eh, I'll give them a try. I might like them."

I'm here to tell you.

I LIKE THEM.

this is actually a picture OF THE CHOCOLATE COVERED ESPRESSO BEANS I'M EATING RIGHT NOW.

I was trying to find a picture of them on the world wide web before I took matters into my own hands, and I was reminded that they bear a striking resemblence to scat. which reminded me of going to Camp Rotary in the 6th grade and one of the teachers EATING scat. (part of the whole "doing what you have to do to survive in the woods" concept) everyone was grossed out at the time, but we did learn later that he TRICKED us and it was actually chocolate covered raisins that he ate, NOT rabbit scat. he was darn convincing, though, let me tell you.

the moral of the story is, always have chocolate covered espresso beans on hand so that you will not be required to eat animal scat if you get hungry while lost in the woods.

and if you get cold, all you have to do is slice open a Tauntaun (empire strikes back, anyone?) and crawl inside. it might smell bad, but you'll stay warm.
