The 2005 Coffeethon ended last night at midnight. In the end, I tied for second with 9 cups of coffee.

The first four cups were delicious. Cups four through eight required a little discipline to finish. The 9th cup tasted fine but didn't agree with my stomach. I couldn't even consider another cup of coffee. I've definitely renewed my faith in the economic orthodoxy of diminishing returns. The marginal utility of the tenth cup of coffee was indeed quite small.

On the flip side I was quite certain I could leap tall buildings with a single bound and two feet seemed like a safe following distance while driving home at 85 miles per hour.

So thanks to MoCo Loco, I was pointed to this site, Office In a Bucket.

Can you imagine your first day of work at the next cutting edge mega-corp; instead of being shown to your office you would be handed and bucket and told, "Just find a clear spot in the warehouse and blow your office up. Be sure not to use thumb tacks to hang up your children's art projects." It seems so absurb, I wonder if it's a spoof.

What next Porta-potty-in-a-bucket?

I was thinking the other day that it would be really funny to do a spoof of "Sk8er Boi" called "N8er Boi". Lo and behold it's already been done.
