Ballard Street by Jerry Van Amerongen for January 25, 2024

it would do better if it goes thru the ear actually

He must have great lung capacity. Hot liquid doesn’t like going up a straw.

If he would set that coffee pot on a shelf higher than his head, then he could siphon the coffee into his mouth without having to suck on the tube all the time.

All that coffee……excuse me…..“flush”…

Allen’s thoughts are percolating.

When caffeine just won’t cut it, Allen likes to turn the coffee pot into a hookah.

Allen gets hosed.

At least he learned a little patience and doesn’t stick his mouth under the coffee maker anymore.

Postpyloric tube perhaps?

It isn’t working. Allen’s mind is not right.

Allen thinks Mornings Suck.

Good morning Balladeers!

That’s one way to get your caffeine.

Allen sees his delivery system needs another redesign before he patents it.

Well, Doctor Flabbergastter ordered Allen to quit those multiple daily caffeine I-V drips, so it made for a desperate, last-minute switch to a drip-style coffeemaker.

Is way of sipping coffee give him a high!

Smokin the pot.

The thing about the caffeine trick is that it definitely works. What many people forget is that it does not work indefinitely. Caffeine is basically an energy time-shift drug. It can make you more alert now but you will be less alert later. Eventually caffeine abusers habituate and it takes more coffee for less alertness.

I save caffeine for drinking with meals when it will be absorbed more slowly. Most of the time I drink decaffeinated. If I drink straight caffeinated, it makes me chatty. Believe me, you DON’T want to see me chatty. :)

Adding a few shots of Bailey’s or Jameson’s to his coffee gets Allen’s mind on its tiptoes in a hurry.

but, why is allen using a crazy straw to blow bubbles in the coffee pot…?

☺

If Allen burns his tongue, that is what he’ll get up on its tiptoes.
