To quote Shantideva (forgive me for using your writings in this context), but to quote him: "Since both excrement and saliva arise solely from food, why do I dislike excrement and find joy in saliva?"

I'd like to qualify my "thanks" of brendanconnell's (a master of his own making) comment by saying that it is for his spot-on Starbucks reference--I think the same thing my self! even of their "regular drip coffees"---the verdict is still out on what I think of Lovecraft's prose.
