When you're tired of drinking the coffee, there's always the coffee enema. I wonder--would a soy latte be more effective? Caramel macciatto? Will Starbucks ever administer these?
  • Should I say it .....?
  • "When you're tired of paying out the ass for overrated coffee..."?
  • "This coffee tastes like ****"?
  • It may seem funny, but this article from Wired News about it as a treatment and the results are worth reading.
  • "the relaxation of smooth muscles causing dilatation of blood vessels and bile ducts" ahhhhhhhhh
  • One Summer I worked in a health food store, where I learned more than I ever wanted to know about our cusomers' colons. One day a customer in all seriousness asked, "What flavor of coffee should I use for a coffee enema?"

In any case, the last place I'll go to for medical advice is Wired, when they're practically endorsing steroids, nootropics and what-have-you on every other page. Who knows what this stuff will do after a while?

  • Caffeine-laced anal beads. Hmmm.
  • Once again, the best of the web.
  • I *still* think we, as a society, ought to be a bit more judicious about what we put up our butts.
  • I ♥ Fes.
  • And to think, I have been wondering what to do with that jar of coffee crystals.
  • It is important to let the coffee cool, first.
  • We've replaced their usual enema with new Frugal's crystals. Let's watch . . .
  • Give the term "coffee nosed" a whole new, quite literal, meaning.
