    So, I’ve had multiple requests for a “repeat” of the “Gospels of the Bean” updates/tweets from a while back. In fact, I’ve even had folks requesting them for Christmas. Since I’ve been so busy with Luetsencurbenpuken (yes, I still need to post some pictures from 2010) and such, I neglected to have a blog entry ready for this morning… Therefore… Yeah. I’m going to get my lazy on and do a big old copy and paste from the “Gospels of the Bean” text file.

    Since I am writing this while pumping bean jooce into myself, AND I will need to go roust the o-spring and redhead very soon, this is going to be pretty haphazard. As in, no particular order. I have a busy day ahead and, besides, you know how my mind works anyway…

    WHAT IS COFFEE?

    cof-fee [kaw-fee, kof-ee] -noun : decoction of crushed, roasted seeds ingested primarily as a vehicle for caffeine delivery. – I haz some.

    COFFEE COMMANDMENTS

    “And BEAN spoke all these words, saying: I am BEAN, your God…”

    “1: You shall have no other caffeinated beverages before Me.”

    “2: You shall not make for yourself a false coffee, such as anything that is in the likeness of decaf.”

    “3: You shall not spill the brew of the BEAN in vain.”

    “4: Remember the birthday of Saint Juan Valdez, to keep it holy.”

    “5: Honor thy roasts, espresso, dark, medium, regular, and all in between.”

    “6: You shall not murder after partaking of the brew. Before is okay, after, not so much.”

    “7: You shall not drink tea as opposed to coffee, for this act is to commit adultery against the BEAN.”

    “8: You shall not steal the coffee of another.”

    “9: You shall not falsely accuse thy neighbor of being a cola drinker.”

    “10: You shall not covet your neighbor’s Bunn, Krups, Saeco, etc.”

    GOSPELS OF THE BEAN

    On the third day, Starbuck said to them, “Drink this and you will live, for it is of the BEAN.” Gevalia 42:18

    BEAN said,”In the world you will have tribulation; but be of good cheer, COFFEE will overcome.” Juan 16:33

    COFFEE AFFRIMATIONS

    Coffee is great, coffee is good, I’d best go drink some before I’m rude…

    Coffee is great, coffee is good. Better give me more before I get rude…

    Coffee is great, coffee is good, let us thank it for our mood…

    Thou hast raised me from sleep, O coffee; awaken my mind and open my lips, that I may praise Thee, O Holy Trinity- Bean, creamer, and sugar.

    Glory be to the bean and to the grinder and to the water, as it was in the beginning, but is now, coffee without end.

    Coffee…grant me the strength to pour, the serenity to brew when the pot is empty, and the wisdom to not kill anyone yet.

    COFFEE CONFESSIONS

    Confession time – I have a little plastic statue of Juan Valdez and his donkey on the dash of my truck…

    I like my coffee straight up, no frills. But when I feel a little kinky, I put on one of my wife’s negligees and have an espresso…

    FROM THE COFFEE HYMNAL

    I like my coffee bay-bee! Hot, fresh, and… well, not so sticky. But strong, yes. Stronger the better. (Rock Candy)

    Coffee, coffee, bo boffee, banana bana, fo foffee, fee, fi, mo, moffee! KAW-FEE! (The Name Game)

    Have another cup of coffee, but don’t be sloppy, be careful don’t spill it, when you refill it, have another cup of coffee…  (Manic Monday)

    COFFEE IS…

    Coffee is… The only thing that keeps me from climbing the clock tower with a rifle in the morning.

    Coffee is… My Mistress, and damn she’s hot and steamy…

    Coffee is… An essential part of the food pyramid.

    Coffee is… Do I really need to embellish here?

    Coffee is… Not just a good idea, it’s the law.

    Coffee is… My own personal Prozac.

    COFFEE QUOTES

    I need a faster coffee bean juicer…

    Coffee… There can be only one.

    Coffee… Not just a good idea. It’s a way of life.

    If it weren’t for coffee, well then, I guess I’d just have to be an even bigger asshole today…

    I love the smell of coffee in the morning… Smells like… burnt coffea canephora berries actually…

    It is by coffee alone I set my mind in motion. It is by juice of the bean that thoughts acquire speed, desk stained, cup empty…

    Ahhh… Freshly squeezed coffea canephora juice… It just makes the world look so much more… well… tolerable.

    Chemicals my ass! Without COFFEE, life itself would be impossible…

    COFFEE QUESTIONS

    How many beans do you have to squeeze for one cup of coffee?

    More to come…

    Murv

    • From the Gospel of DayStar:

      The consumption of Gevalia or Starbucks is a perversion of the Sacred Bean.

      Those that truly serve The Bean, do so quietly and humbly. They serve by roasting the beans to perfection and offering it to others, so that they might truly taste the Light and Joy of the Bean.

      And the Bean said:

      “You shall go forth and find and drink only fresh roasted kaffe to truly know me.”

    • This is freaking hysterical! I am sending it to my hubby right now…

    • Roasted, not burned, Murv. Mama Star should spank you…. Seems to me we have a whole gospel missing, The Gospel according to DeathStar.

      I saw the individual tweets, but srsly. Seen all together like this – fabulous!

    • I haz a happy. I put on my profile that Coffee is God (because I have the button)
      and drinking a cup of coffee every morning is the only ritual I can stick to religiously.

      Besides, Caffeine is my Prozac and my Aderol, and the reason I can work in customer service…(see “Coffee is Great Coffee is good, I’d best go drink some before I’m rude”…been there done that).

      @Star, I suspect what Murv said before is correct, you are the goddess Caffeina. In Murv’s defense, I think you’ll agree that he got the commandments down correct. Possibly becuase he had not been fully enlightened by your august Self when he originally did the translations of the Gospels, his interpretations of some of the names may be incorrect…but his doctrine is sound, is it not?
