At one point, I couldn't remember a single day in the past 5 years (Except for the rare xmas when they closed) that I didn't spend at least a few hours in that place. I had figured the number of cups of coffee I had consumed in the 20,000's. I knew the employees, they knew me. They preferred me and my crew to most of the drunken slobs because we tipped relatively well and weren't as obnoxious as the drunken idiots. After I got married (and moved out of my parents house /sheepish), I spent a lot less time there. I learned a bit about the "finer" coffees of the world. Since then, I've been back a few times to partake in the Denny's coffee I once loved and let me tell you, it is fucking awful. But as Joel points out - it is still coffee and the blood of life.

But I've always had a similar philosophy about drinking it on its own terms. If I can't handle it straight out of the pot, then I don't want to drink it. From time to time I might enjoy a fancy pants coffee-based drink at a coffee shop but by and large, I don't see the point of frou frouing it up as standard practice.

For a year and a half, 5 nights a week, my friends and I found ourselves at Denny's drinking coffee, smoking, and talking for about 3-6 hours a night. I say a year and a half because after that I started working there and was there everyday for at least 8 hours. That Denny's was my proverbial home, and I still feel most comfortable, anytime things aren't going well, in my booth with my former co-workers having coffee. And for the love of all things holy, make that into a shirt. Along with: "If beer is heaven, coffee is faith." Here’s a post that really hit home.
