I made it through college without even once drinking coffee. It was that first job that started at 5:30 AM that made me a coffee-drinker.

Whenever we see the three of them together like this, I get the feeling we’re seeing them from Marigold’s vantage point. :)

Only thing worse then Phoebe on coffee is Sue on Coffee. I wounder how it effects Unicorns though? I bet Dakota is one of those kids whose aloud to have coffee but prefers tea or some kind of frapachino moka late thing. Yes there are some kids who get to drink coffee. I seen them. I don’t know how the drink got to be the adult’s right of passage I been doing fine in the mornings with out it.
I know people in real life that have a whole deal with drinks, milk is for kids soda is for teens coffee and alcohol are for adults and you never go back once you give up the lower rung of the set. I never agreed with that.

I don’t like the taste of Coffee. When I need a boost of caffeine, I reach for a soda.

They need to take a vacation to Miami. The Cafe Cubano (Cuban Coffee) there is so potent that it’s served in a tiny cup, along with a second (normal-size) cup of water to dilute it after taking a sip—its extremely high caffeine content makes Red Bull seem like lemonade in comparison. Marigold might even meet a Nhurim unicorn at the beach. Although they are cloven-hooved quadrupeds like the other Houses of unicorns, the Nhurim abide with the creatures of the sea.

I believe Voltaire said it best. When told that coffee is slow poison, he replied, “I think it must be; for I’ve been drinking it for 65 years and am not dead yet.”

Bullseye. Education has never meant learning something. .It’s all about putting the initials behind your name that should have guaranteed some kind of competence. In Dad’s field the hire fire question isn’t schooling; it’s what company has paid you at least 5 years to code (specific program), (specific program), (specific program). .♪♪Oh, we’re going off to collegeFor to gain a lot of knowledgeThat we’ll never, ever, ever use again.♪

♪ Oh, father and mother pay all the billsAnd we have all the fun.That’s the way we do in college lifeHooray! ♪ – Owen Johnson, “Stover at Yale.”
Although children should not drink coffee or tea (caffeine and tannic acid are not good for growing bodies), coffee is an absolute must in college. Why do you think they call it “the think drink?”

And it’s not so much what you do in college. Rather, it’s what you do with your knowledge and degree after you graduate. If you find ways to use your education even though your job is not even remotely related to it, then you are indeed knowledgeable and wise.

Oh for God’s sake, you guys, drop whatever it is that you’re doing and read “Gaudy Night”.

By my reckoning, Dana (then David) started “Ozy & Millie” at age 19.
