I just scared the crap out of myself just now |
|
I broke my coffee maker so I borrowed my Grandparents' electric four cup percolator that they use when they are in Vegas. I just put on some coffee and sat back down and I was reading the ghost thread and fell for the damn ghost video that scares the shit out of you, so I am a little jumpy. Anyway, I am sitting here, it's quiet when all of a sudden there's this loud SCREEEEEEEEEEEEEE!!! coming from the kitchen. I was too scared to go look. I finally got enough guts after I heard a second quieter screeeeeeee and realized it was the damn coffee pot.
If I ever see or hear a ghost, I will die of fright, I just know it. This house is 110-years-old.

1. Perculating coffee pots intimidate me. |
|
Don't they have parts inside that you have to assemble before you can make coffee? :scared:

7. The coffee pot at the cabin is worse |
|
You have to use it on a gas burner. Takes FOREVER, by the time you make a pot, it's lunchtime. (jk)

10. Ack! That's like our old espresso pot. |

CMW's the only one who ever uses it. The Nespresso machine is more aligned to my skill set. :rofl: :spray:

14. I just need to get a new coffee maker the minute I can afford it. |
|
This four cup pot is not cutting it. (I drink out of an over sized mug, so it's actually a two cup pot)

If you see a ghost, chances are it won't believe in you.

(and journalists who have been spanked by the Spandex Media Relations Department) know that Spandex is a registered trademark and capitalization is therefore mandatory. :thumbsup:

However, there is less chafing here than with tighty whities.
And thanks for the Spandex search!

By the way, I was kidding when I said to fuck off.
I wanted to make the response to your first DU post a memorable one! :toast:

I appreciate acerbic wit (smart assedness) more than anyone I know! You have no idea how many times I've been misunderstood (neither can I, come to think of it).
I like to turn things on their tail; and in this spirit I wish you a surprising "Off Fuck." (You know, the kind where you don't expect intimacy but it happens spontaneously.)
Sincerely, you have nothing to apologize for.

I used to have a shrink who claimed that he had a martial arts instructor who could bend the flame on a candle using his inner energy. I would FREAK if i saw that.
