It's what gets me out of bed in the morning
Now, what would that be? It's coffee, lovely aromatic coffee with cream, I love it love it love it.I just saw a documentary about coffee- which set off the Cliff Clavin in me.
For instance, did you know that coffee originally comes from Ethiopia, which just happens to be the country I am fixated with these days- I want to go to Addis, hang out with the rastafari, celebrate the life and death of Bob Marley, Haile Selassie and listen to my favourite band as of now The Ethiopians (which is actually an awesome ska band from Jamaica) while drinking super Ethiopian coffee.
Soon precious- soon we goes there....(shite- shouldn't have watched LOTR last night).
Ultimately, I ultimately came to the ultimate conclusion (did I say ultimate?) after viewing the coffee flick.
The great truth of it all is that French historians are big fat liars! Now, this French dude was saying that Europeans in the 17th and 18th centuries drank like 7-8 liters of wine per day. And if that's not enough, they additionally drank half a liter of strong spirits and then commenced to work a 14hour day. On top of that, the kids were drunks too! Come on, man!
Then this guy says that the French Revolution was a spawn of French coffee shops, where everybody sat down, over-dozed on java and plotted to behead wigged lads. Whereas, we all know that a volcano in Iceland started Le Revolution!
Anyhoo- just wanted to Clavinize a little and direct y'all to the website that helps you find your discover which celebrity you look like. I was not unhappy about mine.
Peace!
