First part is actually coffee.

The second concoction listed is actually a slightly coffee flavoured milk shake.

The psychopathic traits were already there, and if I don't get the black coffee in the morning they become more noticeable.

I dunno, I don't think it really matters AT ALL if you are a 'psychopathic traits exhibiting' straight black coffee drinker, or even a NATO std flat white with 2 sugars coffee drinker; I reckon that those people who order order one or more of those 'quad shot, non fat, vanilla soy, extra foam, light whip coffee with a caramel drizzle' things or anything even vaguely similar when there's a queue of more than 1 person WAITING for any type of coffee behind them, then they are not only more likely to become victims of afore said queued coffee drinkers, they are virtually begging for some divinely devilish retribution to be wreaked upon them from all quarters/everybody in the queue!

Just Sayin'...

I can understand that. The beaches in Florida are over-run by baked snowbirds most of the time. Don't tell anybody, but there are a lot of isolated small islands all along the Gulf Coast. You need a skinny water boat to even get to them. They have nice beaches and some of them even have a few scrawny trees on them. Nobody lives there because they go underwater when a hard wind comes at high tide. I think, officially, the State owns them, but they are not patrolled because a hard sea-breeze at high tide will clear them of everything but the lizards and fiddler crabs.

(Off topic, but...) Having lived 20 years in Gulfport, MS and sailed a LOT of the Gulf Coast waters/islands, and living in Pompano Beach, FL for 2 years... I hear you, and know you know.

Live about 50 miles as the crow flies from Florida Big Bend area, Apalatchee Bay. That is about as close as I want to be in hurricane season. Used to fish all the coastal salt flats, from around Horse Shoe down to Cedar Key area. Had a little glass tunnel hull with a jack plate. Drew about 4 inches of water sitting still. It had a four inch layer of foam glassed into the floor. On plane, the motor would run with the prop in the hull tunnel. Forward looking depth finder. Fun, but expensive to maintain and spend weekends at a fish camp. Sold the boat when my son left home. Got to be too many slot limits, species limits, and they basically banned shark fishing. Too old and broke up to load and unload the boat any more, so I had to give that up. I just got a couple canoes and kayaks now and still do some local freshwater. My place is only 1.5 miles from the Suwannee River. Still got an old Tracker 16 Grizzly style on a trailer under the shed, but it ain't been registered in 20 years. My son is retiring before long and he can put it to use.
