Very Sore Subject
My friends, I have a bit of distressing news. Yes, many of you noticed that my recent entries have been replete with silliness. This is because I… have stopped drinking coffee. Yes, it's true. I started listening to my body more and it's telling me that it doesn't really jive with the java any longer. If I'm a good boy all week, I may pick up a cup on the weekend. But, for the most part, consider me unaddicted. I'm no longer swimming in flavor country and have been looking for another vice.
I also think I'm growing a third nipple, which is one of the reasons I've had to put all “chest scribbles” on hold. Who knows how long it'll be around? At first, I thought it was a zit. Nope. Pimples generally don't look this mean. Next order of business: name it. Unfortunately, I don't know if it is a 'he' or a 'she.' Yet.

That could be your “tripple” nipple. You could call him Trip for short.
When you squeeze him does he sqirt out coffee? If it did you could sell your coffee. “Chris Trip Coffee” It would help caffine addicts kick the habit. Drinking someones nipple coffee would put anyone off caffine.

I haven't had Pepsi, or any soda for that matter, and coffee, since October 25th and I'm doing just fine.
As for the nipple, I'd name it Herbert.

So, how big does the “third nipple” have to be before you can tell it's ***?

Are you by any chance related to Krusty the Clown? If so, that would explain the sudden emergence of a superfluous third nipple!

“I'm no longer swimming in flavor country and have been looking for another vice.”
I'd be more than happy to offer you a suggestion for a new vice. If you are interested, just click my name to see. ;) It can be very addicting, very addicting indeed. :)
As to the third nipple, have you considered consulting a Dr.? Um no, I'm not a Dr., nor do I play one on TV. So, I am NOT offering to look at it for you. Seriously though, you may want to have it looked at by a professional.

Reminds me of something from Bond. sorry I'm a very big Bond freak. anyways, have you ever tried replacing coffee with tea? it has less caffine and it tastes better. try some Earl Grey with a little splash of honey and milk.

Yes Angel, agree with you… Christopher (coincidence??) Lee in The Man With The Golden Gun.
And I second on the tea. I like mine w milk, pour the tea high up into another glass to create the foam. Anybody familiar with Teh Tarik? You've got Peet's Coffee, why not open up another business like Teet's Tea? =)

I used to call my blog
“without coffee, I have no personality at all” then I gave up caffeine.. because I saw how addicted I was to it.. it was painful.. now I reward myself with a cup now and then, but I can see how it can creep back into my life..
good luck!

Chris without coffee is like Barney (from The Simpsons) without beer. Maybe Chris will stop wearing flannel, get lasek surgery, change his hair color, stop shaving and joing the army. God help us all!

I think you should call it “The Cap'n.”
You could refer to it in general conversation. “Yeah, me an' The Cap'n went for a jog today.” Or “Me an' The Cap'n got in an argument today about which of the Rece Crispy guys was the smart one. Snap, Crackle, or Pop. What do you think?”

Chris, I hope that your quitting attitude is not going to result in a complete cut off of Peet's. Or will you be developing a Jamba addiction now?

Third nipple? Did you ever see that movie “The Manster” where that guy grows another head? Maybe you should get back on the Peet's before it's too late.

Just when Peet's is expanding into the Seattle area, Chris is going cold turkey on coffee! Is the world coming to an end? I think I've heard the temperature in Hell dropped a few degrees. :P

I went completely caffeine free not long ago and it took a couple weeks to completely feel the difference. But what a difference! I slept better and felt a LOT more rested when I woke. (Don't forget to knock off caffeine in soda, chocolate, etc. too!) As for the third nipple, are you morphing into a Bond villian or something?!

So Chris, why no more coffee. It;s pretty harmless if used in moderation. Maybe switch to decaf for a while to ween yourself. coffe an tea are two things i could never give up. caffine headaches are a douche.
