...

A cup?

A POWER RANGERS cup!

*facepalms* I'm going to have to teach you the proper way to drink tea. A proper cuppa deserves better than a Power Rangers cup.

peter_kirkland March 6 2009, 13:48:30 UTC

No way! Any time you mention teaching me the 'proper' way of doing something it turns out super boring!

And the tea should feel lucky it gets a cup as ace as a Power Rangers one to hang out in!

kenichi_bokushi March 6 2009, 18:19:56 UTC

That's because every time you mention your way of doing something, it turns out stupid.

Not to mention that tea doesn't "hang out." It is made to be consumed, not to spend time with whatever "friends" that tea might make.

The Boston Harbor.

*glares and just barely resists the urge to slap him in the face for that comment*

Something wrong~?

*facepalm*

... Part of me is not surprised that you haven't figured out what's wrong yet.

A bowel seems sufficient for drinking a nice warm butter tea or sweet milk tea with some fresh tsampa on the side.

spurnedambition March 6 2009, 07:03:14 UTC

A...bowel? :O

peaceinexile March 6 2009, 18:10:14 UTC

Haha, yes, C-chan-la. It is customary in my country to use bowels in order to drink liquids. It can be a bit messy sometimes, but it works just as well as a cup!

kenichi_bokushi March 6 2009, 18:22:30 UTC

..... Just curious, but do you mean this ("A") or this ("B")?

A proper teacup is a must for drinking tea.

Except when certain nations throw it overboard ...

I suppose you prefer ones with handles, correct? Does it seem odd to you when someone uses one without?

And how necessary is a saucer?

kenichi_bokushi March 6 2009, 18:33:39 UTC

I do prefer ones that use a handle, and the saucers themselves that haven't got a handle seem odd.

A saucer is of the utmost importance, as even though spilling is something that should generally be avoided, in some cases and with some people it is unavoidable, so a saucer minimises any potential mess.

A cup.
