Well hope she has a good tyme and have fun with the kids. I wouldn't advise drinking a whole pot of coffee because you wil be off the walls but then again kids usually like that, so rock on dude. And yes don't set the house on fire.

This would probably be a good time to try multi-tabling 3 or 4 tables at PokerStars, if the focus is that sharp!

Congrats on the continued success of the PokerStars Katrina relief tournaments, by the way.

Settle down there java-boy...make sure you're tethered to the ground before you lift off..

Funny picture. I love that episode of futurama. It is sooo funny. I'm less of a coffee person myself, but I definitly get that way after a few cans of mountain dew.

Posted by: Antoinette at September 14, 2005 12:07 PM

Hooray for having the entire pot of coffee to yourself!

Posted by: CGG at September 14, 2005 12:29 PM

Oooh, I had a clearandsharpandinfocusday yesterday... I went to our local farmer's market and got a cup of delicious organic mexican java ground fresh right in front of me!
I guess when you drink coffee ground straight from the bean and not out of a can, you really are able to feel the full effects of the caffeine, and boy does it keep you going, pretty much till dinner time...
Drink Up, Java Boy.

But!!!, the after effects (if you know what I mean) are not as pleasing.

Coffee roolz....

I write software for a living and software is fueled by coffee.

And now that they have found that coffee is a most excellent source of anti-oxidants, it gives you the feeling that you're actually being healthy while you're getting your caffeine fix.

Go Wil, fuel up there my boy!

Coffee doesn't do much for me. I drink it because I like it and I have found and awesome flavor. Carmel Truffle. You can get it at Wal-Mart. It's really good if you like Carmel.

KEVIN GAMIN: So, I figure I just drop a couple of heaping spoonfuls of Sanka into Wil Wheaton's orange juice, and collect the ensuing data. I'll definitely get first place. And who knows? I might even win me a Noble Peacie Prize!

{Cut to view of Kevin Gamin and Wil Wheaton in the basement. Kevin Gamin is holding a legal pad, which he makes periodic notes in. One of Wil Wheaton's eyes is open unnaturally wide, and he holds his hands high above his head. His fingers twitch from time to time.}

KEVIN GAMIN: So Wil, tell me, how do you feel?

WIL WHEATON: {speaking very quickly and clapping his hands together over his head} I feel great! I feel great! I feel great! I feel bad. I don't even watch football! I don't even watch football! I can't remember my legs!

That is just too funny. I can just imaging you doing the Fry talk too.

Posted by: MacBros at September 14, 2005 03:20 PM

And you have to play poker tonight...aheh

Rubs hands together...maybe now you'll be able to keep up with the chat :P

GL tonight though :)

Posted by: psycoma at September 14, 2005 03:47 PM

I wonder if Wil has time to browse the web these days... I hope he discovered Homestar Runner before now :)

Oh btw hi Wil, I'm Wade! 26 from Pensacola FL and a huge fan (I watch Stand by Me an average of twice a week on DVD!) Own two STTNG sets (3 and 4) and want so much to buy your books, they're awesome (saw the Gnomedex video). Also saw the Family Guy parody of STTNG ("You can... SUCK MY RIDGES!") They sounded like Seth got Patrick, Jonathan and Michael to do the voices! Awesome work on that.

Ah caffeine...the finest of the legal drugs. Recently for me it's been a big pot o' Cafe Bustelo after about five beers. And then five more beers. And then message board posting about scifi and biscuits, and singing the wrong words to Ben Folds songs a little too loudly.

Posted by: carthies at September 14, 2005 05:09 PM

congrats on not setting fire to anyone...i drank 3 24-ounce bottles of mountain dew today and made mozarella sticks in the oven without burning the house down...

i love days when i'm home sick alone...

Posted by: shewhobeatsass at September 14, 2005 05:31 PM

But if you drink that entire pot of coffee at a large gala that ends up on fire and saving everyone due to coffee consumption...that's extra cool points there. Fry is the man.

Posted by: nolagirl at September 14, 2005 06:44 PM

hehe...
no playing poker in that condition.

That is my absolute favorite episode of Futurama! Just the image of Fry saying, "coffeecoffeecoffee..." is just hilarious. Are you doing that yet, Wil?

Ooh I could use a pot-sized cup of coffee these mornings. So much to do and so little time and little energy!

Posted by: Sangri at September 14, 2005 07:55 PM

My husband is an AVID coffee drinker (not so much tea...unless there's no coffee. Dratted limey!) Unlike most people, coffee is like hot chocolate to me. Makes me very VERY sleepy. If I need a wake-up call (like driving 23 1/2 hours to Limestone, ME from Chicago, IL), it's Mt. Dew and popping vivarin every 1/2 hour or so. I haven't watched Futurama in ages, but I do have one other corollary...Beavis. Not as stupid, but definitely higher than a kite. *lol*

Well, I did better tonight than Wil. Im in the top 100, and Wil finished at 115. Monday night I was 88 out of a huge field, and I was thrilled to finish so high with it being my first online tournament.

I was hoping to play against will at least one hand, but I'll have to wait. One day Wil! Ever since you mentioned the possibility of a game on Slashdot, I've held a little in reserve waiting.

Wil,
You are an all pro dad, by now. She wouldn't have gone on her vacation, if you couldn't handle the place. Watch out for that coffee pot. You may wright another book before she gets back.

Posted by: FABIAN at September 14, 2005 09:18 PM

I love coffee, but it hurts my gut - I end up having to drink it really milky, so wheres the fun in that? I just don't drink it!

Also stopped drinking tea, and feel fantastic as a result (now I'm over the need for a fix).

Coffee has a halo/wings AND horns/pointy tail SO beware!!!

Posted by: Gabby at September 15, 2005 03:46 AM

Wil,

Enjoy playing 'Java the Hut' today! Master of your domain, Overlord of all, Ruler of the rugrats. Heck, why not have a few pod races with the kids...

Ummm, and this was much more lame than anything you posted.

And fresh ground - gotta be fresh ground.

ANDWHYSTOPATONLYONEPOTWHENYOUCANMAKEPOTAFTERPOTALLDAYANDALLNIGHTLONG????????

You could even be 'Wil the human gecko' and cling to the ceiling to impress the kids.

Enjoy.

Do we need to help you drink the coffee?? I personally prefer Dublin Dr Pepper but if you have any flavor creamers & lots of sugar, I'll drink coffee but the older I get the more I will drink it

Posted by: Reddy at September 15, 2005 08:40 AM

Hey Wil,

I know you can pull off all your duties! You always have a good attitude about things and that is what gets you through. If anyone deserves a whole pot of coffee it is you. I have really enjoyed your poker blogs and I have been cheering for you all the way! Best of luck with everything! Have a great day!

Posted by: JCade at September 15, 2005 09:20 AM

The only thing better than your own pot of coffee is having first pick of the doughnuts. MMMMMM..... Doughnuts
