given the choice, cold beverages are now okay with me
i took one of my better stainless steel starbucks commuter mugs out of storage over the weekend because i got tired of my coffee/tea/hot beverage getting cold by the time i got to work, a whopping 15 minutes away from my home.
there was a reason i put all my metal starbucks mugs way the hell far away from me.
i didn't remember what that reason was until i sat down at my desk when i first got in and took a big swig of burning hot liquid that seared my tongue, the roof of my mouth and part of my throat.
it was great timing for my first meeting of the day, where i couldn't pronounce half the letters in the alphabet, rendering my speech completely unintelligible.
now if you'll excuse me, i'll be searching for an ice cube to suck on to prevent blistering.
or as i just explained to a co-worker, "ah eeh ah i cyoo."

I prefer cold coffee. I order iced coffee all the time. My main problem is when I order it hot and want to drink it in the car one of two things will happen:
1) As a passenger, the difficulty of gauging braking/acceleration force by the driver causes me to take bigger, shall we say...gulps of scalding hot liquid. (not pleasant)
2) As the driver I have found that people always choose the instant the coffee starts to touch your tongue to slam on the brakes.
Suffice it to say I have learned to wait until it cools off a little.
i don't know what you're gonna do when i just decide to throw the whole damn cup at you.
you've been warned.
You keep threatening to do that. I think you just want me to exist in a state of fear whenever I am around you. ;)
I'll remember to bring a change of clothes.
