Give me coffee or give me . . .

. . . well, not death, but what would life be without it? Stolen from Paco Enterprises, "Java Jive":

BTW, if you've met Paco, you might notice that he vaguely resembles the guy in the hat and bowtie who makes his appearance at the 1:10 mark of the video. It's probably not Paco. He's old, but not that old.

And speaking of old, where does Paco keep digging up these Old School big-band videos? It's like he's stuck in some Internet time-warp where it's never later than 1951, cigarettes are 25 cents a pack, gasoline is still leaded, and everybody wears hats -- including the dames, who don't mind "sugar" or "doll."

It's a swell kind of place, pal.
