Coffee and the chariot race go back centuries. What makes them alike? Other than the ultimate in speed and invigoration, it was and still is the nectar and entertainment of the Gods. Well Nero thought of himself as almost a God.
The control of the masses has been in the hands of the ruling class since Cro-Magnon Man shepherded an injured Gnu into his cave for easy slaughter. Didn’t happen? Well let’s take a look at the possibilities. He had a stick, the Gnu didn’t. Period
Believe me yet? Let’s explore the forensic evidence on the walls of the caves. If you are Joe-Shmo cave dweller, you will probably have the run of the mill digs. No brass polished taps in your dunny. Just the basic stone ground drip from the ceiling. You won’t have the scratch together yet for wall colourings let alone a good stick artist to paint them for you. So again it’s the ruling class who have left behind scenes of their trials and tribulations out on the savannah.
You pick the cherry, dry it, roast it, crush it, soak it, then have the prescience and protection of mind to drink it, then you are above the crowd. Quite possibly in elevation as well, sosa’ dem udders can’t a get at cha. Not unlike the ability to paint your decor in the cave, this is a leisure time activity. Ask any average Cave wife, and they will tell you that between slaying the sabre-toothed and hauling firewood, they don't have much leisure.
As time babbled down the brook of the galactic environs, man made the two wheeled, (side by side) thingy known as the Chariot. Not to be confused with that French Connexion the Cheroot. And as is normal and Man is want to do, he raced them. First as a challenge, then as entertainment, then as brutality. Something which Coffee has not become.
Tea drinkers everywhere beware. When Coffee becomes more than an entertainment, Tea drinkers will be the ones on the Coffee drinkers list of ones to brutalize by beverage. It is inevitable. Mark this date in your calendar. It’s not as if I see clearly now the rain has gone; it’s a matter of understanding our history. That which we are doomed to repeat Ad Nauseam. Hence, if you want to be part of recorded history and you are not the best at Chariot racing, or your Chariot is not up to standards, then you MUST become a coffee drinker.
Oh, and I just had my broker top up my holdings in Coffee Futures. Thanx.

Well the jury iss out on that one. big has many facites. One, yes he has some weight he can lose. famouse ir influential, a ledgend in his own mind. forcefully speaking the man tends to be come inebriated with the exuberance of his own verbosity. from my stand point i could really care leess what, who where, when, and if infact he IS.
My points are unequivocal.
