Broom Hilda by Russell Myers for January 13, 2025

Broomie, meet The Woman from Breaking Cat News..

Broomie, next time you ride a merry-go-round, you can just grab the ring from that jerk’s schnozzola!

Not all the jokes can be bangers, or remotely fresh.

Previous century? But, shes SUPPOSED to be 1500 years old! Of, course…she’s been 1500 since 1970…! Nuff said.

Even if they would sell you a plain coffee, they’d still charge you at least ten bucks for it.

Unfortunately, the world-wide price of coffee beans has gone up again, because of climate change!!!

I like Starbucks French Roast—with a generous serving of Peppermint Mocha Coffee-Mate.

I’m sure that there are other places that would be happy to serve you “just coffee”.

We will have to charge extra for that!

Cup of coffee, 10¢. All the refills you want. That’s my “century.”

There is an episode of Frasier where Martin (Frasier’s father) goes to the coffee shop that Frasier and Niles frequentt. He orders a black coffee and it pretty much goes like this. That episode is from the 90s, so it truly is a statement more about the pompousness of the drink, than about the age of the drinker. I would hazard a guess that a regular old truck driver would elicit the same response. I am a tea drinker, and I do not recall anything close to the idiocy of “half whip of this, a shot of that, a pump of whatever” being assigned to tea.

When I do go to Starbucks, which is rare, I order a “medium coffee”, just to pi-s them off.

You know, when I go to the coffee shop and ask for a coffee with nothing in it, they just give it to me with no commentary. Weird how that works.

Try getting just a coffee at a Dutch Brothers!

She is like me: I like my Hot Tea and Black Coffee w/o any strange ‘stuff’ in it. I do not do Starbucks.

This is how I know coffee is not really suitable for human consumption. Nobody seems to just drink the stuff; they always load it up with sugar and milk and frooty flavorings and such to hide its nasty taste. Kinda like rum.

You’re not alone, Broomie!
