h2g2 The Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy: Earth Edition

Yeah, grew up in Phoenix. 80s in October means we break out the long sleeves down there.

[Mog] Well ... the thing about refrigerators is, the heat they pump out has to go somewhere ...

It's another one of those days. IIEM, I'll have a double Mog's usual.

[IIEM] Sorry, Irv. That level of caffeine has been banned by the Federal Drug Administration and the World Health Organization.

This day keeps getting better and better

[Mog] What IS the caffiene level, by the way?

[Dylan] It's over NINE THOUSAAAAAAAAAAAND.

Someone's had too many

Almost as bad as splot.

[Mog] Oh, don't mind him, he's just rather impressionable to internet memes.

OK, fess up - who the programmed the IIEM with FDA and WHO regulations?

Is it just me, or are things going a bit less 'normal' than usual here?

I'll have an Asteroid Lil with a side of Mog's, please. I'm starting the day with a sleep disadvantage.

[IIEM] All right then, a milky regular coffee with sugar, served with an apple spice doughnut, with, on the side, a triple espresso with an extra shot of espresso, and a shot of espresso on the side (with an extra shot of espresso).

[Mog] [popping up in front of the IIEM] And make it strong this time!

[Mog] [who is now back in his regular seat] Oh, hey -- what ever happened to that planned adventure in the Forest to see what the rat-ants were up to ...?

It's on hold til Affy's done with whatever it is he's doing at the moment.

And me too. I have something I'm trying to finish by the end of this month.

*downs her final shot of espresso and levitates*

[Mog] Lil, are you sure you ought to be hovering that high?

Slightly hungover from celebrating.

Do you suppose IIEM can fix soup? Menudo for instance?

*finally, after what seems like weeks of thinking, Lil moves letters on to the board to spell Q U I T E at k-1, for 28 points*

*putting the board diagram in her post is now beyond the help of < space > markers...*

Gimme a Lil, please. It's another working day.

[Mog] My usual, please.

*puts on face mask*

I'm thinking your friendly neighborhood barista is a tad under the weather, and maybe shouldn't be handling your food. Please see the IIEM directly.

IIEM!

Thank you... *grabs a mug of soothing Rooibos tea and settles down in the Deep Purple sofa*

Could I have a cup of chai tea, slightly sweetened? No milk, thanks.

Why didn't anyone tell me that teach two classes at two different schools wasn't double the work, but triple?

Actually, could you sweeten that a bit more, and throw in a shot of espresso?
