how do people weigh in on this issue?
personally, i'm not sure there's a direct correlation between heat withstanding and sexual orientation. but, some have suggested otherwise.
some have even suggested that the name itself, "java jacket," has a high percentage of what marketing executives would call "gay friendly" appeal.
what do you guys think? and, do you or do you not use java jackets?
personally, in a self-serve java jacket scenario, i usually pass unless it's extremely hot. but, i'm also confident enough in my sexuality that, if a coffee establishment already puts them on, i'm not going to remove mine or try to hide it . because that would be silly. i mean, it's only a java jacket, right? (or is it?) |

You look like a guy who should use one.
I keep feeling like people are just looking at screens and web sites all the time, but do they ever do anything? Or go out and say anything to anyone? I'm not so sure anymore. |

Why not fashion a filter holder out of an old dental retainer?
-Insert filter into holder and place in mouth
-Hold head back, chin up
-Pour coffee grinds into filter
-Pour boiling water through grinds and filter
-Enjoy the freshest cup o' joe possible |

usually it's not an issue for me becuase i bring my own canteen and have them just fill it up. but on those times when i don't have the canteen, and i have to get coffee in one of those gay looking paper cups.. no, i don't get a lid.
the first time i was served a coffee with a lid i said "what is this?".. the young kid behind the counter says to me, with a lisp, "that's a liiid. it'll protect your lips".. and then smiled at me in a way that guys just don't smile at each other.
that was my first and last experience with these "lids". |

Hey why stop there??
just drink right from the coffee pot...or better yet use your hands to scoop it out then slurp!
Not that's hot.

Do "real men" use lids on their coffee? Or is a "real man" content to let the hot liquid slosh out of the cup onto his hand? I say if you refuse to use a jacket, you must also spurn the lid. |

Ha, I don't think a quiz would help me. If a quiz helped anyone decide their sexuality then they have some (other) serious problems.
HEY! Anyway! At what point have I said Im not sure of my sexuality. I hate you all.

the herbal tea thing alone is suspect. but having to take a cold bath after being scalded by boing water?? and getting hypothermia??
let me ask you another question, does this guy have any Madonna albums? or own the FLASHDANCE dvd?
Im not going through any crisis. Everyone else is.

Har har. Nope, I'm pretty sure not.
I steer well clear of 'girls tea', its the work of some evil mastermind, and therefore not to be trusted. I've only just learned to like rooibos, which is like a healthy version of normal tea.

Still, some serious lessons here.
If I get coffee out, I tend to go for espresso or ristretto, so it doesn't have a chance to be spilled before the whole thing is poured down my neck.
Also, it makes me look both manly and sophisticated to drink strong coffee, even if I do have sugar. I think even the French and Italians have sugar with espresso.

Do your experiments with hot wax make you say that?
casually blowing off being scalded by hot water is one of the cornerstones of being a heterosexual male. |

In France, our cups are specially designed so you can never burn your hands. That way noone ever knows you are gay.

I drink my coffee with no sugar, cream, or anything else-- 100% manly coffee-- only beans and water. Still, I sometimes need a little insulation so I take a jacket. Otherwise I might drop it on my way back to the office. There's nothing gay about not wanting to be scalded.

Those java cup holder things always dig into my fingers and feel like thier going to give me a paper cut, and they feel like thier going to rip so I don't use them. On the gay thing, I'm straight, but I've had people I know telling me they thought I was gay or bi, I think it was because I hang around alot with female freinds without other guys. But one time was my own fault after I told a friend of a freind I wanted to ensconse him in velvet, I was joking about Seinfeild to another friend and he took it the wrong way

I know a few things about these jackets and I can say: No, using one does not make you gay, but requesting one does.
And yes, straight men do not put milk, cream, or sugar into their coffee. They do, however, pour in a small amount of liquor, like Bailey's, if they want to, anytime between Thanksgiving and New Year's Eve.
Something scary I've seen at work is men wearing strings or chains on their eyeglasses. I've tried telling my friend from Cambodia that only schoolteachers and gay men do that but he won't listen. He says that the supervisors do it and then I have to point out their piercings and the Rollerblading that I know about. |

I had thought of that. But I assume its a little different. No one has ever mentioned it until recently and its only been people I don't know. Well maybe in 5 years ill have a better idea.
