The more I drink this stuff...

The more I drink Earl Grey, the less I like it. And yet, I seem to be unable to not drink the vile stuff.

Heh. I was thinking of your hate of Earl Grey the other day. Where I usually shop, the only tea I can get as leaves in a box is Earl Grey, which is drinkable, but no more. But at this other shop I got English Breakfast.

English Breakfast tea is the best ever.

I was starting to feel the same way until my lovely wife brought home a perfectly scrummy variant, Cream Earl Grey.

Give it a try if you can find it.

A couple of weeks ago, I was at Boskone and listened to a couple of guys arguing that "Follow the Queen" was a better poker game than Hold 'Em. I remembered thinking that it was the second completely unique argument that I had heard that week, but when I went to write it up for the blog, I couldn't remember the other.

And now I do: your bizarre claim that "Lemon Zinger" was superior to Early Grey. That's another argument that I'm pretty sure I've never heard anyone else make-- I've heard lengthy discussions of the superiority of English Breakfast or Irish Breakfast or some Chinese blend to Earl Grey, but never Lemon fucking Zinger.

I don't particularly like Lemon Zinger either, really, but I was sick at the time and wanted something caffeine free. The Earl Grey, while not caffeine free, has less than soda (and I don't drink coffee of any sort, ever, being allergic), and was available at the time once I finished the last of the Lemon Zinger. While I still find myself incomprehensibly drinking Earl Grey a couple times a week, I won't go near the Lemon Zinger again unless I'm sick. Both are vile, really, but those are what's available when I don't feel like the plain Jane Lipton.
