YES PLEASE!!

...whoops, did I say that out loud? :D

(Kidding. We all know Eloise's second love is going to be Tom Theisman. Hopefully aided and abetted by certain furry lie-detectors.)

Nah. Ginny will propose to Eloise for her and Kevin. Probably in a way that makes Victor blush so bright she'll then wonder aloud at being back in a red light district. :oops:

Okay, I know this is a fun game, but some things are just beyond the bounds of even our fevered, overworked imaginations.

Honor Harrington drinking coffee is one of those things.

:lol:

Which means, of course, that it isn't Eloise who Honor, Hamish, and Emily marry next. It's Tom. :D

If RMN coffee is like the swill you get at 7-11, I'm not surprised. However, if we're talking the subliminal perfection of Jamaican Blue Mountain, then perhaps acceptance is possible.

Short of Evergreen explaining themselves directly to us on these boards, I no longer have any faith that they're committed to making a movie and related products that have any relevance to the Honorverse.

I don't care where the coffee comes from. It's *all* evil. I once almost threw up when what I thought what was *toffee* ice cream turned out to be *coffee* ice cream.

I was a happy camper when I first read that Honor can't stand coffee, and find myself always nodding in fervent agreement everytime she rags on someone about it.

*furious nodding*

I can drink coffee only one way: drowned in so much chocolate, cream, sugar, and possibly hazelnut that it tastes more like hot chocolate than coffee. I can handle a Starbucks frappucino, but that's about as high as I can go, and these days I'm leery of even that.

(I once had to catch an early flight out of an airport 90 minutes' drive away. My flight was delayed, so I had to stay awake instead of being able to sleep on the plane. I ordered coffee with three shots of espresso. My body revolted in a way it has never done before or since and now I can't touch the stuff. I am never, ever doing that again...)

I don't drink coffee either.
Although I am a wee bit embarrassed as to why I don't.
When I was around 7 or so mom told me that coffee stunts your growth. (I know right)
But it was because she didn't want us becoming addicted to caffeine.
Now I don't drink it because it frightens me.

I had a friend once whom was shocked to learn that I hadn't acquired a taste for it. He said to me "you have got to try Starbucks coffee. It's delicicious and I promise you it'll change your mind. How about we go now."

Upon arriving at this establishment where they peddle this horrible drink I began to peruse the menu. Pretty menu. So many flavors that appealed to the inner child in me. I was overwhelmed. So he suggested to me I try his favorite.
I did.
I consumed it with gusto. Oh my gosh, this stuff is delicious I said.
Momentarily, I just didn't feel too well. I began to shake, tremble, rattle and roll. My heart was palpitating. My legs grew restless. My eyes dilated and morphed into a zombie-like state. I didn't know whether to succumb to the sudden urge to haul ass outside and run around the building several times or to listen to the voice on the other shoulder and dial 911!
I was frightened to say the least. All the while this was going on, my friend was witnessing it. He kept asking," you ok, you ok." I couldn't speak. I was drugged. Now his eyes were dilated as well from fear he'd just poisoned his friend which affected me even more. My fear was driving his fear was driving mine.
Of course it is obvious that I was having a reaction to the high caffeine content in which most people whom do swig the stuff has built a tolerance for over the years.
Seriously though, Starbucks coffee has such a high caffeine content that I am unsure why people, instead of drinking it, not opt to just fill a syringe and mainline it!
And why does the DEA not raid Starbucks!!!
Everytime I go to the mall I expect a team to come storming in weapons drawn shooting tear gas canisters ordering everyone to the ground!
No, seriously!
