Coffee Anyone?

Forget about expensive Starbucks coffee, throw away your Dunkin Donuts gift cards, you must try the Bottomless Mug’s dark sunflower roast coffee. Critters wait in line as much as two hours at the walk-up-cup for their morning coffee. You’re probably not familiar with the ordering protocol, so, allow me to explain. You place your order with a phone app. Its not complicated, you only have three choices – small, medium or large. (That’s right, coffee is the only item on the menu. No sugar, no creamer, no donuts – none of the gimmicks human coffee shops use to cover up the bad taste of their cheapo coffee.) You wait in line. When it is your turn, you hop in the mug, tell them your name and your order arrives by an elevator inside the mug. Now you understand why it is called the bottomless mug. Coffee is made in a subterranean burrow using a top secret recipe.

My cousin Vinnie the P. has spent years trying to crack the secret recipe. So far he has figured out it is a blend of organic french roast coffee, Godiva sunflower seeds, and Guinness sunflower seeds. But, he has been unable to replicate it. So, he is stuck waiting in line like the rest of us everyday.

The new “normal” – everyone is social distancing in line.

Song Sparrow “This looks like a long line. Maybe I will skip it today.”

Song Sparrow “Its no use, I can’t function without my coffee.”

Merry formerly from the Shire told me they didn't have coffee in Middle Earth. Apparently, Mr. Tolkien didn't think to write it into his trilogy "Lord of the Rings." Merry thinks if they had coffee they could have defeated the dark forces much quicker.

Archie the grasshopper confronts a line cutter, none other than the Phantom Chipmunk.

After a bite on the nose the Phantom Chipmunk wisely moves to the end of the line.

...where he sulks.

Horrified customers yell, “Hey there is a fly in the coffee!” Archie the Grasshopper calmly offers to eat it.

Archie jumps on the mug but the tropifly escaped with his coffee order! Talk about a bad day.

Spitfire the Dragonfly waits impatiently for his order.

 

The Bottomless Mug recommends having a cup of coffee while sharing cookies with friends. My personal favorite is sunflower and chocolate chip cookies.
