Flists rock, and as a thank you: some manly tea

[delphipsmith]

Thanks to everyone who contributed most excellent names for Lucius' dogs -- he may have to start a breeding program (for the dogs, not for himself) in order to use them all!

In the absence of anything sensible to say, after several many glasses of wine (which seemed appropriate on the verge of a four-day weekend), I give you...MANLY TEA.

That's fun - though the comedy seems to rest on the idea that tea is actually rather effete? Is that the perception in the US? Not so much here:

Hm, interesting question! Hot tea is certainly not the universal drink over here that it is there (Americans drink iced tea by the gallon, of course, but that's not at all the same thing). I suppose it does carry certain connotations of little old ladies and children who have dolls' tea parties, or posh restaurants that bring the tea round in wooden boxes, or hippies on macrobiotic diets, or possibly "those fashionable fruity blends" as the Builders site says.

That site is AWESOME by the way: "Whack the kettle on, this'll just take a sec" LOL!! I want "Real men slurp" on a t-shirt. Though it might be misinterpreted...
