Mmmm. Thanks Sput.
I have this project at work that I've been putting off for the last 2 weeks that the deadline's today - wish me luck!
At least I've got my mp3 player of 467 songs (so far) to keep me happy while I do it. Though I'll never whistle these tunes while I work...

Amateur Procrastinator = putting off balancing your checkbook for a few months while you wait for a large bill to come in.

Semi-Professional Procrastinator = putting off balancing your checkbook until tax-time and even then, only using it for itemizing deductions/donations.

Professional Procrastinator = Not even having a checking account because you don't want to have deal with a stupid ledger.

I'd fit under Amateur.

There are other recipes out there that don't use cream soda, but are nowhere near as simple or effective at producing the effects of butterbeer:
Must taste "warm", must taste "buttery", and must be able to last in a glass bottle without refrigeration and able to be drunk straight out of the bottle without additional prep.

So... if no butterbeer, what would you like?

mereth, I'd take a cup of java (Cc looks at the coffee pot and doesn't know how long it's been on the burner, opts to brew a fresh pot (although TITWI & pine always keep it fresh :D ) Just if for a spell before work to read and jot some notes...

That is the happiest cup of coffee I've ever seen!!! I don't know if I'd even drink it, I'd just be like "Hey coffee! How are you doing today? Would you like to be in my belly? Would you like that?" I wonder if it's little smile would turn upside down :)
