'coffee makes me shake'
'i probably shouldn't have another cup as coffee makes me shake'
― Randy Carol (darraghmac), Monday, 17 September 2012 03:58 (thirteen years ago)
' ok one more cup of coffee and then i really must go to the doctor and ask him to investigate this shaking, which i really do feel may be as a result of drinking all this coffee just like the cup of coffee you are currently pouring for me as i shake uncontrollably'
― Randy Carol (darraghmac), Monday, 17 September 2012 04:01 (thirteen years ago)
i probably shouldnt drink all this coffee what about that other guy eating the sandwich you are the waitress
― lag∞n, Monday, 17 September 2012 04:03 (thirteen years ago)
hmm good effort bringing in the background detail but that guy is clearly only there in order to look worriedly at the guy that's shaking uncontrollably

But the one for the hedz ones..
The PI/bed one, the only half-way decent caption came second. Popular vote, I guess.
Anyway, it's this one this week, after all...

that's great!
― look at this quarterstaff (Hurting 2), Monday, 24 September 2012 14:29 (thirteen years ago)

― TracerHandVEVO (Tracer Hand), Monday, 24 September 2012 14:48 (thirteen years ago)
what's going on with the guy's head?
― obamana (abanana), Monday, 24 September 2012 15:07 (thirteen years ago)
I would submit that one, with the slight edit of swapping out "fields" for "pastures"
― look at this quarterstaff (Hurting 2), Monday, 24 September 2012 15:10 (thirteen years ago)
Oh, I submitted "fields" already; too english?
― Mark G, Monday, 24 September 2012 15:10 (thirteen years ago)
idk, it still works. I just think of sheep grazing in a pasture vs. farmers plowing a field. But it's a subtle distinction and it doesn't ruin the joke.
― look at this quarterstaff (Hurting 2), Monday, 24 September 2012 15:12 (thirteen years ago)
Plus I guess it really was all fields once so maybe fields works better.
It's a well known phrase innit.
― ledge, Monday, 24 September 2012 15:14 (thirteen years ago)
ah, I see. yeah, I think "fields" is the one.
thanks.
― Mark G, Monday, 24 September 2012 15:14 (thirteen years ago)
11 million results for "when it was all fields", 2 for "... pastures".

Well it works extra well because you always meet people in NYC who tell you how they "remember when this was a Puerto Rican neighborhood. No $4 coffee or farm-to-table restaurants."
― look at this quarterstaff (Hurting 2), Monday, 24 September 2012 15:19 (thirteen years ago)
I think "I remember when it was all fields round here" might be more of a UK thing?
― look at this quarterstaff (Hurting 2), Monday, 24 September 2012 15:20 (thirteen years ago)
probably. it's sad you americans never had fields.
