Mormons seem to think so, at least. The proscription is against "hot drinks" which is apparently coffee and some teas because they contain caffeine, but it's ok to drink hot chocolate (and chocolate has caffeine in it) and also soda or iced tea which contains caffeine. It's all hosed up.

Like literally they think if they get splashed with coffee by accident in the break room at work they'll burst into flames?

No, of course not. Their underwear will protect them.

Serious answer: They don't drink coffee and tea because Joseph Smith said not to.

And he very likely said not to because it was a piece of health woo that was popular at the time.

Probably a little from each column. The letters were written while Joyce was in Ireland trying to sell 'Dubliners' (to a publisher in Dublin, appropriately) and Nora was living in Italy, and sending dirty letters back and forth would have been a way to keep him thinking of her since he was not a very sexually faithful man. On the other hand, they do seem to have really been in love (they were a couple for 27 years before they married, which was pretty scandalous for the time, but does not seem to have bothered either of them).

Joyce was punctilious about polite language in his everyday life. I guess it's pretty flattering, in its weird way, if an uptight genius confesses that the passion you alone can unleash drives him into a secret frenzy of smut. Apparently Nora didn't read the majority of Joyce's books, presumably for dread of what snippets of their personal life she might find. Still, her letters were spicy enough to have been destroyed by her executors (maybe Stephen Joyce, her grandson, as suggested by the owner of the site that had the excerpts on it):

quote:

If I remember rightly the long-gone and out of print book from which these came actually mentioned that after Nora’s death, Stephen Joyce (I think) did destroy the counterparts to these letters written by her. Joyce’s letters were already elsewhere and beyond his reach, so he had to settle for pressurising the publishers of the book and anybody else who sought to reproduce the material.

The real Awkward in this tale might be financial. 14 years ago, a single one of Joyce's randy missives to Nora sold for almost £250K, which may still be the world record for a C20 letter sold at auction (Joyce's ordinary letters tend to be more in the 10-30K range). OK, Nora is not the world-famous writer of the couple, but even so, my guess is that whoever got rid of her letters probably destroyed at least half a million pounds' worth of literary flatulence.

Maybe it's just because I grew up in the age of the internet, but Joyce's horniness for his wife's farts seems so benign it's almost cute.

Mozart sent letters to his cousin that had stuff like "my rear end burns! What is wrong? Oh muck, muck wants to come out! Now I can smell and taste it!".

The idea that because someone was a great artist and held up as some bastion of culture, doesn't mean they couldn't be juvenile and perverse.

Every person, no matter how much they manage to accomplish, is still a person and people are inherently gross and weird.

Pick your favorite artist, celebrity, scientist, or...well anything, really. Now imagine them passed out drunk on their front lawn with no pants on. There's a very good chance they were in that situation or a similar one at least once.

I like how in Amadeus they made Mozart as this colossal manchild with an incredibly annoying laugh. All his mannerisms were done in a way to gently caress with Salieri. It wasn't enough that he was a musical prodigy he had to be an incredibly insufferable one as well *laughs autistically*

While that movie is incredibly inaccurate, that part is. It's still such a good movie.

Hopefully that moment isn't hiding a 14 year old in your house until she's 18, or paying parents to get them to make you an underaged girls guardian so you could take them on tour to have sex with.

quote:

From all accounts, the young adults of the 1930's in the new Yugoslavia faced poverty and hunger, and when WWII was declared, many young men signed up with the German army, if only in hope of a better economic future. Having been born German speaking, and still having an allegiance to his Austrian roots, my father Vincenz was no exception. He and his elder brother joined the Gendarmerie, and they became experts in counter-sabotage of the railway line.

Every young man had to choose, no matter how willing he was to fight, which side he would be on. The choices were to join the local communists (partisans), or the German army or its paramilitary. For a thoughtful man with holes in his shoes, the choice was still a difficult one to make.

Many loved ones were lost during the war, including the beloved Austrian employers of my mother, who were killed by local communists for their land holdings. Her best friend since childhood, daughter of this landowner, had to flee for her life and leave the country under cover of night.

After the war, my father along with thousands of others who had fought against the communists were taken as political prisoners, by now enraged local partisans. They suffered starvation and daily beatings at the hands of people they once lived and worked with. My father became gravely ill with yellow jaundice while imprisoned.
Great way to gloss over...something...
