Half Asleep In Frog Pajamas = Barely Awake In Frog Pajamas

Barely Awake In Frog Pajamas's picture

So, the name of this blogspace was intended to be Half Asleep In Frog Pajamas because it was the first thing that burst out of the dim recesses of my mind and into consciousness. Half Asleep In Frog Pajamas is, for the uniniated, the title of a book by Tom Robbins - however, if you are unfamilar with his work, I'd suggest Skinny Legs And All, Still Life With Woodpecker, or Jitterbug Perfume.

But, as you might have noticed, this blog is instead named Barely Awake In Frog Pajamas because in a fit of blondedom...well, the bottom line is that I botched it and went with a similar name. Hey, one man's half asleep is another man's barely awake. Ya know? It's all the same before that first cup of coffee for a java junkie.

And speaking of coffee, I just saw the episode of Seinfeld in which Kramer was awarded a lifetime of free coffee for sustaining a burn from a cup of his dark master. Assuming that he was 35 at the time of this episode, imbided in one 12-ounce Starbucks latte (currently $2.25 in Minneapolis) each day, every day except for Sundays, and lived to be 75...and assuming a constant inflation rate of 3%...Kramer would consume over $65,000 worth of coffee.

Just something to think about.
