The usually mild mannered and exquisitely literate Barista is becoming annoyed.
Go look.
ADDENDUM: Tuesday eve: This was meant to refer to his "Empire" and "Revenge of the jellyfish" posts, but must have done something wrong, as the link takes you to the "latest post". Oh well, it's still a good read.
UPDATE #2, Friday morn. No it doesn't, it takes you to Jan 3rd. BARISTA is not well. My best wishes are for his full recovery.

eats roots, shoots and leaves... Ha! Guess you own a copy of the Eats, Shoots & Leaves book?
No, actually, Saur. The first that I heard of the book was over at your blog. I did have a quick skim-thru at the newsagent, and it's quite brilliant.
Interesting title for Australian readers:
A similar joke to the above is told in Australia, where an Australian male is compared to a wombat because he "eats roots and leaves". The verb "to root" in Australian colloquial usage means to have sexual intercourse.
"Ha!" he said, shooting out an ejaculation. "The comma, of course, is crucial; and we'll have no more of that sort of innueno on this blog!" He added, grinning.
Drat, here's me trying to be terribly clever, and I miss-spell "inyerendo".
Thanks Davo, I appreciate it. Barista is being naughty in ways I don't understand and sending everyone to the front page.
Good snap of yer dad and important to remember.
