What are we coming to? 
In today’s Atlanta Journal:

Ick! I’m glad now I’ve gone over almost entirely to Oolong tea.
It does remind me, though, of a remark said to have been uttered by a VERY proper Southern lady upon her first taste of beer:
“You can put it back in the horse now, dear.”

In instrument refinishing class, my teacher was always fond of saying that if you buffed hard enough, you could even polish a turd.
Apparently, you can also grind it, brew it and drink it. Yuck… 
It is the best coffee in the world – having had a pound several years ago before it became to expensive. Not something you would drink every day.
Do you eat eggs? What do they pass through to get to your plate?

All I can say is “EEEEEEEuuuuuwwww!” and pray that this stuff never shows up on the menu at Starbucks!
I remember a while back there being a “gourmet” demand for pepper kernels that had been pre-digested by birds…what is this fascination we humans have with eating something someone else has eaten first?
Don’t even get me started on bird’s nest soup…

Well, yeah, but I don’t eat the shells.

(edited to add) What about tripe? Chitterlings? (a.k.a. “chitlins”) Oh, my…what have we started?

I’ll stick with tea.

No need to worry, Michael (and others). At that price nobody’s going to be giving you any of that stuff just as a joke are they?
Not as long as I can box road apples in frilly panties and cellophane wrappers, they ain’t!
Here’s Dave Barry’s take on it.

I’ll never have to worry about getting ahold of this stuff because I make my coffee from cheap instant and hot tapwater, stirred with a toothbrush (the end without the bristles). So I think I’ll have to throw in with old Dave on this issue, especially concerning the part about getting the hell out of the way of those of us who have a genuine medical need for coffee. Stand aside – there’s a caffeine-deficient old person who needs to get through – you can get your brewed badger poop when I’m done.
Adds a whole new dimension to the concept of “pretentious crap”.
Well, if it makes good coffee I don’t see the harm…
Of course any alcoholic beverage contains loads of yeast excrement, but I don’t see that fact affecting sales.
Well, don’t ya know, da Irish, wood ne’er 'ave a thin ta do whit such fallder-rah, nope. T’is why I sticks with Irish Coffee. ;o)
Enjoy Your Music,
Lee Marsh (tongue firmly in cheek)
