S: Food coma + bad coffee

[djsusm]

:yawn: Just had lunch, :yawn: and can't :yawn: stop yawning... :yawn: and the coffee I got tastes like toothpaste.

But on a brighter note, the Quizznos I had was pretty good :) I wonder what causes food coma... Just seems to happen so randomly.

Eating large amounts of heavy foods (breads mostly) does that to me.

Hee hee... "food coma", I'll have to remember that terminology, cause back home we called it something else that I don't really wanna repeat here. :hihi:
