What Michael said. There is nothing like sweet tea. - Harvey Simmons

They seem to like it COLD here, ewwwww ;) - Sally Church

Nope, love my coffee though. for me tea is a particular time or feeling. - Rob Diana

That would be tea colored sugar water. Just the thought makes my teeth fall out. :-) - JMS

Hmm... well, since I have the urge now, I better make some Earl Grey before it gets too hot and humid - Michael W. May via twhirl

I enjoy a nice cuppa as much as the next guy, but when it's 103 outside, bring on the ice. In my own defense, I am a regulation southerner, barefoot and everything. - Harvey Simmons

I have a funny story about the differences in American's view of tea. When I was about 6, we lived in the Netherlands for 2 years and our neighbor was from Scotland. My mother cooked dinner for him and his wife and made sweet iced tea. He took one drink, made his horrible face, and said "I'm sorry, but what is this bloody mess?" - Trish Robinson

That is the face I make when I am silly enough to try iced coffee yet again - Michael W. May via twhirl

I'm from the South, so sweet tea is definitely a favorite, but I also love PG Tips w/ a bit of soy milk... The South definitely has more than just sweet tea, if you're in polite company ;) - Jason Carreira

Iced or hot, I like them both. It's cold enough in our building to enjoy hot even in summer. - JMS

I like mine with a spot of honey - RAPatton

its not the TEA !! its more about TEA TIME .. elevense and afternoon tea session !! :)- - Peter Dawson

Age old excuses to break from work ;) - Michael W. May via twhirl

I love my teh tarik http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/T... - BeeLing Poh

Most of the Brits I know are of the same opinion, that Americans haven't quite grasped the concept of tea. It seems like an insignificant point, but is actually an important indicator of the cultural difference. I vaguely remember reading about some European general who came to America during the Revolutionary War, and he was stunned that you couldn't tell American soldiers to just do something, you had to explain WHY they should do it. - Karim

This translates into perhaps less decorum, more mockery of established order, and less understanding of the "proper" ways to do things, such as make tea. (Americans have been known to put milk in the cup AFTERWARDS!) The flip side is, of course, rock music and moon landings. :-) - Karim

@Karim "the "proper" ways to do things" depends in which culture u r in. In japan nobody uses milk in their tea. The tea ceromny is most elobrate of tea thingys :)- - Peter Dawson

I'm content with my iced moca coffee. Thanks though. - David Cook

Karim, milk does go in after ;) and then only in certain types of tea. Oh and I'm not British - Aussie convict here mate. Take directions from some Pommie bastard? Not bloody likely cobber! Yet can still make a decent cuppa :-) - Patricia Hanrahan

LOL ++1 Foster's Lager for Patricia !! - Peter Dawson

Fosters?!?! Strewth mate, that stuff is cats' wee. Be chundering all night on that :-) - Patricia Hanrahan

seems that accent is certainly comeing fr an irish type of convict !! - Peter Dawson

That's why I clarified the remark. Still haven't read the article Still like *just* the title. :D :P - Tad Donaghe

Liking it for the title, as well. - Akiva Moskovitz

Tad: Liking an article's title without appreciating its body and the thoughts and ideals behind it which drive the package... can't you get enough of that on Digg, man? - Roger Benningfield

ok, so NOW who's read it? thoughts? or all we all still stuck on taking off our clothes? - Erin Kotecki Vest

Roger, I don't usually "like" links without at least browsing them, but in this case I just couldn't resist a clever/frivolous title. At least I was specific in saying WHY I liked the title. And yeah, I still haven't read it. - Tad Donaghe

Erin, I hear you on this.. I wonder which Top male blogger is willing to take off their cloths to pose for whaever top of the line gay mag is out there ? I think Blogher s/run something of that and take vote from blogosphere :)- Screw the Fuckard's ! - Peter Dawson

Solly Roger, you dont fit the A-lister top blogger status..:)-- - Peter Dawson

Tony: I figured Cosmo and Jane would insist that I *pay* to get into the mag. And I didn't want my formidable not-hotness wedged between cake recipes and diet plans in Woman's World. - Roger Benningfield

Peter: The fact that they haven't yet invented a letter to accurately describe the list I occupy doesn't mean that I'm not at least as nakedly unpleasant as Robert Scoble. - Roger Benningfield

There are certainly enough boobies already on the Internet. Hell, I'm not even much into boobies whether they belong to women or men. (And in the blogging world the boob distribution is probably about 50/50). But I've never seen how calling a woman attractive, or wanting to see her in a bikini, is disrespectful. I find physical beauty cosmically awesome and breathtaking and respect it a lot more than most things. It's the universe at play.. stop being such Puritans! - Anthony Citrano

there are boobies on the intertubes???? ;) - Erin Kotecki Vest

Not a big fan of what Playboy is doing. - Tris Hussey via twhirl

Erin++ - Yuvi

@Roger , touche bien for that last comment .. "I'm not at least as nakedly unpleasant as Robert Scoble" :)- - Peter Dawson

I don't understand how this is a "new" thing. Playboy has had a pictorial for women in many different professions - Women of Enron, Women of Starbucks, Women of Wal-Mart for Christ's sake. Women have boobs. Many men like boobs. Some men even like brains and boobs at the same time! - David Worrell
