I am a woman of various inclinations and only some of the time are they to burn everything down in frustration

My sister reuses the leaves of her fancy tea that I forget the name of. I'm pretty sure she just leaves them in the strainer and does the "second pour" the same day.

I am apt to forget I made tea while I am still drinking the first cup and leave the pot sitting for a long time, so I don't try to keep up with damp leaves.

Wait, is this real-world child support, where the money goes to buy food for the kids, or MRA fantasyland child support where the women just buy Ferraris and cocaine? -Jessica

people are still that gullible?

Yes.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.

I'm pretty sure she just leaves them in the strainer and does the "second pour" the same day.

Yeah, that's pretty much what I do. But I'm definitely not in it for the caffeine.

At the exorbitant prices Teavana extorted out of me, a second pour is the least I should get out of these things. They do also recommend it.

We are Buffistas. This isn't our first apocalypse. -- Pix

I don't reuse my leaves, even for the $10/can Ministry of Tea I use. It's never as good.

In the evenings, I drink TJ's decaf Irish breakfast, but it's not as good as the leaded stuff: takes longer to steep and just disappoints.

Sir, it's not an offence to let your cat eat your bacon. Okay? And we don't arrest cats, I'm very sorry.

The Candy Cane Weapons of The North Pole

In matters of Christmas security, Santa’s Defense Forces rely on a homegrown candy cane-based weapon system. The heart of the system is the Candy Cane Carbine (C3), a modular candy small arm that can be adapted for a variety of roles, from close-ranged gifting to long range bah-humbug suppression. And for gravely naughty or armor-plated threats to Christmas and Santa, there is the candy cane of last resort—the Mark 12 Tenenbaum Launcher—which fires a ballistic christmas tree.

I just love the uniforms of Santa’s Little Secret Service/Santa’s Defense Forces....

Remember that the frontier of the Rebellion is everywhere. And even the smallest act of insurrection pushes our lines forward.

Teavana

Whoah. Those prices are ridic. Upton Tea all the way for me.

Because books.

I usually drink Twinings. Or, um, Tetley.

We won’t stop until everyone is gay.

In Moldova we used the tea three times, and would reuse from the previous day. Sometimes I reuse here, sometimes I don't.

Seriously, Teavana is three times the price of Upton!

A dress should be tight enough to show you're a woman but loose enough to flee from zombies. — Ginger

We always get Tower of London tea by Harney & Son's for Dad for gifts; it's pricey, but it's WONDERFUL.

Regular tea? Mom and Dad buy from Stash Teas in bulk. Seriously.
