quiz: are you coffee or tea?

Why, I’m ME of course. As is this quiz answer.

More interesting posts coming soon, probably as soon as the medication kicks in. Down with yet another illness.


You Are Coffee


You are highly ambitious and goal oriented. You feel like there isn’t enough time in your day to get it all done.

You are outgoing and creative. You love talking with people, thinking up crazy plans, and then acting immediately on them.

When it comes to caffeine, you’d like a refill. You can almost always use an energy boost.

Life is too short. You’re going to get as much out of it as you can. You live for today.

It’s not pretty, people. Remember what they say about laws and sausage?

Sharky Tea Infuser

Here is another in the growing collection of designer housewares from the House of Nyarlathotep. Sure to be popular with all the Australians on your list, this dandy little item is most compelling when dispersing fragrant, uncaffeinated, nutritious hibiscus tea.

Note the beautiful and oh-so-fitting colour trails.

We’ve obtained an exclusive interview with Tea Master Qin-T, of the House of Nyarlathotep, and here’s what he has to say about his innovative and stylish creation:

Y’all know me. Know how I earn a livin’. I’ll brew this cuppa for you, but it ain’t gonna be easy. Bad tea. The Agony of the Leaves. Not like going down the parlour brewin’ Earl Grey and Orange Pekoe. This tea, you swallow whole. Little shakin’, little slurpin’, an’ down it go. And we gotta do it quick, that’ll bring back your Vitamin C levels, put all your electrolytes on a metabolically balanced basis. But it’s not gonna be pleasant. I value my alkalinity a lot more than three thousand bucks, chief. I’ll brew it for three, but I’ll add lemon, and I’ll add honey, for ten. But you’ve gotta make up your minds. If you want to stay healthy, then ante up. If you want to play it cheap, be on Nestea the whole winter. I don’t want no volunteers, I don’t want no mates, there’s just too many confirmed bachelors on this island. Ten thousand dollars for me by myself. For that you get the buds, the leaves, the whole damn thing.

The Carol Channing Christmas Message

What’s the difference, really, between one old Queen and another?

Which reminds me, in fact, of the time (I was not there, you understand, I heard it later, she wasn’t talking to me by that time) the Queen Mum phoned down to her butler’s switchboard or staff room or whatever it was and asked, “Would one of you old queens please bring this old Queen a large gin and tonic?”

Thank God for Greenwich Mean Time!
