You're a tenured professor, I thought it was legally required to drink Irish coffee 24/7?

Irish coffees take a bit of time to prepare properly, and rum and cokes make for a wild breath.

I say shoot for Earl Grey tea with bourbon.

My body can not stand caffeine. I always end up crashing or puking, even after a cup of coffee. Sucks, because I love the taste of coffee. Not a fan of the taste of decaf.

I used to have a thing for coffee liqueurs. I was into Copa De Oro and Kahlua. Mexico knows what they're doing when it comes to being a caffeinated drunk.

Do you really? Really?

What's your fave? Are any of the clones worthwhile bargains?
Right now my favorite is the Luigi model. I've gone all out for it with a matching HORI racing wheel and the Hori Gamecube style pro controller. I am not aware of a matching nunchuck or I'd be all over that, too.

I just ordered the King Koopa and Toad variants from Japan - they don't seem to be getting domestic releases. There are a few that I'd like to get like the Skyward Sword variant but it's hard to justify that re-sale price, obsession or no. As it is, I'm approaching the point where I'll have more wiimotes and pro controllers than could ever simultaneously be used in my house...and my house contains two Wiis, a Wii Mini, and a Wii U.

I don't know about any clones worth having. I've demoed a few of the NYKO models they had back in the day but they felt cheap and pointless compared to the real deal.
Maybe now Nintendo will acknowledge Metroid has a fanbase?

Kahlua is my favorite winter liquor. Hotchocolate with Kahlua is as close to a perfect warm you up drink as you can get. Though a White Russian is always good.

I'd seen some of those before, but not others. That was neat. :mrgreen:
