The Café: 2002, Like A Fresh Cup of Coffee

Suddenly, seemingly without any warning, a new revolt around the sun has begun. And we, we have no choice but to hang on and enjoy the ride. Will 2002 be as bumpy as '01?
In this cosy little café, the proprietor, Irv Washington, still hasn't come back from his last trip. In his absence, his caretakers continue the good old traditions and keeps the café open at all times.
The IIEM, the Infinite Improbability Espresso Machine, have had it's filters changed and been given a good polish. It stands straight and proud beside the counter, emitting small coffee-tainted burps. IIEM will serve you any beverage in this universe and maybe the next, but all without alcohol.
Sometimes, if you're lucky, Bluebottle will make you the most wonderful cup of Oh yes, the real stuff!
Small groups of soft comfortable chairs is scattered around the room. In front of the fireplace stands a big deep purple sofa, and in the "music-department" you find a pianola with a lot of extra rolls and a big 50's-looking jukebox.
By the counter you find fresh newspapers and a tin of cookies, always full of freshly baked biscuits and cookies.
Welcome to the café!

Thank you!
Now, does anyone have any plans for the new year? Or hopes, or dreams?
I was hoping 2002 would be a quiet one, but according to Looneytoones horoscope I'm going to freak completely out this year...
------
CANCER (June 22-July 23) Financial collapse. Mental instability. Sudden mood swings. Hair loss. Loss of appetite. Joyless promiscuity. Carnal urges. Rabid political views. An ennui bordering on self-disgust ... This just could be a difficult year for you at work and at home. Chin up! Worse things have happened at sea. It might be wise to avoid water.

That's funny, I thought he would have posted it here somewhere, but I can't find it..
He sent it to OTD, the Off Topic Drift mailing list.

Nice new thread. Hopefully the year will not be puite that bad! I'd rather have a 2002 when positive things happen, rather than a quiet year. But it's not really my choice.
IIEM, a please.
