Like a lot of people these days, I spend a good portion of my day using a computer all day while sitting on my ever-widening ass and not really getting a chance to move around much more than the occasional trip to the kitchen for an extra doughnut or to top off my sugar-infused...

Coffee Drinkers vs. Tea Drinkers

5
Mmm... Black, black coffee.

My office is filled with weaklings. These are people who are afraid of running a short hundred mile marathon. These are people who can’t last a measly fifteen rounds in the ring with a grizzly bear.
