    Sounds like this is coffee prepared by Helen….

    I suspect Tip is yet again fated to be the most “normal” member of his team!

    Mmm, evil coffee…

      Surely better than some I’ve had.

      As long as it’s not decaf.

        Decaf *is* evil coffee.

          The rim of the pot *is* pretty orange … a traditional sign of decaf in diners.

          All decaf coffee is evil, but not all evil coffee is decaf. I’ll drink evil coffee as long as it’s not decaf.

    Surely a coincidence that Eris was the Greek goddes of chaos and discord.

      Jeff and Shaenon’s schemes are deep. Indeed.

    So I realize this is semantics, but I need to double check, just which frogs are venomous?
    Venomous: injected
    Poisonous: ingested
    I’m aware of poisonous frogs, but not venomous ones.
    Google didn’t help either.

      Oddly enough, there are a couple known venomous amphibians (including a frog or two), though they stab with creepy non-tooth things like ribs. https://www.nhm.ac.uk/discover/can-frogs-be-venomous.html

        I had the same question, and figured I could find the best answer in the comments. You certainly did not disappoint 🙂

      Venom doesn’t necessarily need to be injected. It needs only be introduced via a wound of some kind. If a frog could secrete a necrotic toxin through its skin, then it could simply spit the venom into the resultant wound. I mean, which knows what kind of genetic modifications have been made to those frogs in the name of science?

      More to the point, putting frog poison in their coffee would be bad for your team. Frog venom is fine, so long as they don’t take their coffee intravenously.

    Deeeep. Glad I am, he said, that they haven’t dipped themselves into practical rulership. Things get quite convoluted enough as is, without genius assistance.

    In the coffee or the biological weapons?

    I suspect… Both.

      It’s like Arthur C. Clarke says: Any sufficiently evil coffee is indistinguishable from bioweapons.

    I thought after Dr. Lee developed that synthetic adenosine blocker ten thousand times more efficient than caffeine, that the Skin-Horse crew just didn’t sleep. So why else would any of ’em drink coffee, ’cause it tastes awful.

      Maybe her adenosine blocker wears off after a few months. I mean, it has been a while.

      And I actually enjoy coffee – even evil coffee (but as I said above, as long as it’s not decaf).

    Coffee is nice but I really like that sweater. He should knit a ski mask, too.

    The Shaenonverse equivalent of dried frog pills?

      Well, it’s not like there aren’t enough people in this universe who need to hallucinate that they are sane. Heck, there are probably people in that office who would need a dose or two.

        Now I want a Tamagotchi that dispenses hallucinogens if you take good care of it!

    One taste,
    Could kill.
    Don’t drink,
    Your fill.

    Tip’s needing caffeine but he’d better not touch.
    (Don’t touch!)
    He wants a coffee but common sense says he should stop.
    It’s not pie spice, vanilla or hazelnuts.
    (Not nuts!)
    That flavour’s toxins taken from amphibians.

    Venom!
    Frog venom in that coffee pot!
    Venom!
    Best let Eris drink the lot!
    Venom!

    Does Tip have clothing mojo akin to Tigerlily’s? His outfit hasn’t morphed to a haute couture dress in ages.

    I wonder if frogvenom in coffee is more or less effecive than dried frog pills?
