Illy Rules! You've never had espresso until you've had an Italian barista, with truly fresh Illy, conjure up perfection!
 
Right or wrong isn't the question, for business owners and liability.

The question is: how do I stay out of court?

It is getting hot and humid all of a sudden, isn't it? Crazy weather. I keep turning my heat on, then my AC, back to my heat, and now I have the AC on again.

If you like Paul Newman and Green Mountain, I'm guessing you have a Keurig coffee machine. :smile:

I tried the Keurig, but I went back to the gold cone standard coffee maker.

My daughter is using a Verismo, which makes cappies. She loves it -- when she's not going to Starbucks, that is. She drinks way, way too much coffee.

I'm down to one cup in the morning, and that's it. Once in a blue moon, I'll go out and get a cappie at Starbucks, but it interferes with my sleep. I'm drinking cherry juice now every night for sleep, Michelle's Miracle. :embarrassed2:
 
Jules: Mmmm! Goddamn, Jimmie! This is some serious gourmet sh!t! Usually, me and Vince would be happy with some freeze-dried Taster's Choice right, but he springs this serious GOURMET sh!t on us! What flavor is this?

Jimmie: Knock it off, Julie.

Jules: [pause] What?

Jimmie: I don't need you to tell me how f%#&ing good my coffee is, okay? I'm the one who buys it. I know how good it is. When Bonnie goes shopping she buys SH!T. I buy the gourmet expensive stuff because when I drink it I want to taste it.

Best coffee reference in a movie, ever.
 
I spoke with Gabe yesterday. He bought gold coins in a plastic sleeve (which you do not remove or it lowers the value as this is a grading package that shows the numismatic value of the coin) and then re-sold them to a coin store.

The coin store then discovered they were fake. The police are looking for the folks who made the coins. They are not after Gabe at all. Gabe is taking legal action against the TV station and the coin store for defamation of character due to those reports.

AZB would very much like to remain out of the courtrrom. If this thread goes back to spouting rumor and conjecture that is false it will go away again.

I don't know Gabe personally at all, but that sounds like a plausible story to me.

I dabble a little in coins, and fakes are getting harder to spot. They would need to be taken out of their plastic sleeves to verify authenticity, which is the whole purpose of the graded sleeves. Someone who doesn't deal coins would probably assume that they're legit because the grading companies are supposed to verify before wrapping the coins.

Taking them out of the sleeves would mean having to spend the $$$ to have them graded and sealed again.

Sounds like Gabe found a good opportunity to make a little money flipping some coins, and caught a bad break by buying them from a crook. Could happen to any of us.
 
I like my coffee like I like my women, hot and incapable of talking back.

Actually, I've never had a cup of coffee. Can't stand warm/hot drinks. My wife has some kind of $300 coffee maker though and spends a ton on coffee every week.

Did KT's actions affect the pool world?

Did Gabe's alleged actions affect the pool world?

See a difference?

I hope I don't get banned for my opinion, but I would say Kevin Trudeau, didn't he pull some pro tour pool scam? That is kinda his m.o.
 
To heck with coffee. Im coffeed out by 7:30 mornings . How bout a weather report. Now were talking. Virginia Beach, Va., skies are sunny, 0% chance of rain . Current temperature of 84 degrees with a high expected of 89. No rain in the forecast for 4-5 days. The farmers could use a good rain. The fields are looking barren. Corn is currently at about 18 inches. Soy beans only weeh-2 weeks in the ground. Lets hear from other AZers. Hows your weather ?

Yeah, we just got new sod in our back yard a month or so ago, and we need more rain right now. They touched up the side yards with new sod yesterday, and I have to stand outside and water it until we get more rain.

At the time of this writing, it's 83 degrees in D.C = HOT AND HUMID!

Back yard looks GREAT with new sod, except now there's little yellow spots every where the dog peed.

I can see your point, if this was a "private" or "members only" forum, but it's not. This is a public forum -- moderated but public.

AzBilliards is cached on the Internet. If you search for a pool-related topic and a pool player's name, it will appear on Google.

Because the content on AzBilliards is cached on the Internet, it could cause problems. Better to employ an ounce of prevention in this regard. ;)

Now, what's your favorite coffee drink? :thumbup:

Fair enough... I don't actually drink the hot version ^^
But I love the bottled starbucks mocha frappucinos they sell everywhere these days.
More than the ones made in an actual starbucks actually.
I think I get one pretty much every day. They're like chocolate milk with a hint o coffee.
There's also a korean bakery that sells pretty good iced mochas.
For some reason I just can't get into hot drinks, especially in this weather.

If that corn and soy is Monsanto product (90% chance it is), then it doesn't need water. It's genetically engineered to grow quickly, not need pesticide (it manufactures its own pesticide throughout its lifetime, even after you eat it), and will overtake/kill other crops. :o

Now, about the weather, hot and muggy up here in NY -- it's 90 degrees (I'm not kidding!). Yowza, a hot one up here and May's not even over yet.
