Kopi Luwak (Cat Poop Coffee or Weasel Poop Coffee) – Coffee Made from the Beans which Fall Out of a Cat’s Bum – Yum!

Today I got to thinking about the coffee which is made from coffee beans which are pooped out by a civet cat that is indigenous to Indonesia.

I’m not making this up. The coffee beans come out in the cat’s poop, and people in Indonesia actually collect these beans, and people actually drink the coffee which is brewed from these beans.

(I was thinking about it because I alluded to it in my post about how to save 75 cents off a venti iced coffee at Starbucks.)

But here’s what I want to know:

Who the f*ck first thought of this?!?!

I mean, really!

Who was the first person to think “Ooh, look, that cat is pooping out coffee beans – what if I brew them up into a beverage and drink it?”

WTF were you thinking? Or, should I say, “WTF, were you thinking?”

Apparently so, because, like, Kopi Luwak, as this coffee is known (“Kopi” being the Indonesian word for ‘coffee’, and the cat in question being called a “Luwak”), now sells for more than..wait..are you sitting down?

Kopi Luwak – coffee which is made from coffee beans which have traveled down a Luwak civet cat’s intestinal tract and been pushed out its rectum – sells for more than $600.00 a pound!

And people actually buy this stuff!

Here’s something else which makes Kopi Luwak unique, other than its amazing price, and that people actually drink it. According to coffee resource, importer and retailer TheCoffeeCritic.com:

“Kopi Luwak has a very unique and distinguishable roasting smell and taste… like no other coffee.”

No sh*t.

Or maybe..well, yes.

You just know that somewhere in Indonesia someone is laughing their tails off all the way to the bank, and thinking “Those crazy Americans will drink anything, the more expensive the better.”

Get 75 Cents Off a Venti Iced Coffee at Starbucks

Hey, here’s a little secret about how to get 75 cents off a venti iced coffee at Starbucks.

And you don’t even need a coupon or code or anything!

Here’s the secret:

Order a venti hot coffee and ask for a venti cup full of ice.

I’m serious. That’s all there is to it.

Because the idiocy that is Starbucks charges $1.70 for a venti (hot) coffee, but $2.45 for a venti iced coffee.

The nice barrista to whom I questioningly pointed this out explained that, well, they do use their *Tarrazo* coffee for the iced stuff.

Look, I just want some f-in-coffee over ice, I don’t give a damn if it’s Tarazzo, Folgers, or coffee that passed through a civet’s ass (yes, really, google it). So don’t bilk me 75 cents just to serve my coffee cold.

Now you know. Hot venti coffee, cup of ice. Save 75 cents. Every time.

38Ds You Can Really Sink Your Teeth Into – Get a Load of These Melons!

So I’m at my friend’s house one day this spring – I’ll not mention any names, but she can out herself if she wants to – and I notice a bunch of underwire lingerie out drying in the back yard.

“Yeesh,” I think to myself, “they knew we were coming over – I guess I’m glad that they feel comfortable enough around us to leave this stuff out!”

I make a snide remark, and she explains to me that her husband bought them. Off eBay.

For their melons.

That’s right, they planted their garden, and they were planning on training their melon vines up a trellis, and needed some support for those melons.

Now, when you think “melons” and “support”, what do you think of?

Right.

So they bought a bunch of used bras from someone on eBay whose.. uh.. melons… apparently did not need the support any longer.

Now, I just had to see this.

And so do you:
