Tacenda Posted August 19, 2015 Posted August 19, 2015 My downfall at my current job is that they have a large bank of soda fountains at no charge. I seem to alternate between Coke Zero, Diet Coke, and Diet Dr. Pepper. But I have to be careful not to overdo it.Hate Coke Zero, love Diet Dr. Pepper! Diet Coke, only when they don't have DDP! Oh, that would be so tempting, I would probably OD on it!!

We're kind of spoiled. They also have an espresso machine, but generally I drink coffee only when it's cold outside.

For a time, all I could drink was Sprite, as I'm a caffeine abstainer, and I don't like the lemonade or the orange juice that is not pure orange juice. The apple juice is not that good either. But then I discovered that one floor down, they not only have my favorite, root beer, but two others that I like as well: orange soda and red cream soda. I was in heaven thereafter.

ttribe Posted August 19, 2015 Posted August 19, 2015 OK, just for fun, here's a challenge: Come up with a "Mormon Prepper" parody for the full "Drink Dr. Pepper" jingle. We'll vote on which one is the best. For guidance, here are the words to the Dr. Pepper song: I'm an accountant by profession. You have now exceeded my creativity abilities....
jkwilliams Posted August 19, 2015 Posted August 19, 2015 Now we know the real reason for your apostasy... CAFFEINE! Undoubtedly. hehe I never drank Coke until my mission, and only at the end. My last area was up in the Amazon rain forest, and it was really hot. The water was not safe to drink (it was rust-colored), but across the street from our house was the Coca-Cola distributor. Every month they'd fly in cases of Coke, and one case of Sprite. We'd get Sprite the first week or so, but the rest of the month it was Coke or rust-colored water. It was so hot that we drank about 3 liters of Coke a day. When I got home, I was badly addicted to caffeine and had to go off it for several months. Now I drink it in moderation. 1

Okay, that was really good. We need to work in some tent lyrics, though (given the current trend).
Scott Lloyd Posted August 19, 2015 Posted August 19, 2015 Okay, that was really good. We need to work in some tent lyrics, though (given the current trend).There could be more than one verse, you know.

There could be more than one verse, you know. Here's a verse about tents: I bought some tents for me and my whole clan. We’ve got to be doing all we can, ‘cause soon we’ll all be living in the hills As the stuff we dreamed about is all fulfilled. [Chorus]I'm a Prepper, he's a Prepper, etc. Somebody want to come up with something about stockpiling guns and ammo? Let's crowd-source this thing. Edited August 19, 2015 by Scott Lloyd 1

Scott Lloyd Posted August 19, 2015 Posted August 19, 2015 Happy birthday, Scott!Thanks. It was yesterday. I brought some leftover cake with my lunch. 1
Calm Posted August 19, 2015 Posted August 19, 2015 I missed the part about the birthday. A sincere happy birthday to you, Scott.Me too. Very sleepy today.
Scott Lloyd Posted August 19, 2015 Posted August 19, 2015 So I thought I was being clever with the Mormon "I'm a Prepper" meme. But it turns out that was not original with me. It seems Preppers themselves have embraced it and created a Pinterest page accordingly I guess there's nothing new under the sun.
KevinG Posted August 19, 2015 Posted August 19, 2015 I guess there's nothing new under the sun. Ecclesiastes already said that. 3
Scott Lloyd Posted August 19, 2015 Posted August 19, 2015 Ecclesiastes already said that.I can't win for losing. (I know, somebody already said that too.) 1
jkwilliams Posted August 19, 2015 Posted August 19, 2015 I can't win for losing. (I know, somebody already said that too.) Typical apologist, plagiarizing!

mfbukowski Posted August 19, 2015 Posted August 19, 2015 Honestly, I've never heard the term "Mormon prepper" until now. Unfortunately, this will not be humorous unless you have a clear memory of the 1970s, as I do, but the term immediately brought to mind that goofy Dr. Pepper advertising jingle. The adaptation is too easy: I'm a prepper, he's a prepper, she's a prepper, we're a prepper,Wouldn't you like to be a prepper too? Be a prepper, be a Mormon prepper.Be a prepper, be a Mormon prepper.(and fade)Oh my heck. (I have never said that before in my life-) That is exactly what flashed through my mind too when I read that. VERRRY scary! I noticed they served Diet Dr. Pepper at the Fair Conference. That is a clear indication that caffeinated soft drinks have now been pronounced doctrinally pure. 1
