electriclandI nearly forgot to congratulate ![[livejournal.com profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/external/lj-userinfo.gif)
crankygrrl on her successful Lenten abstention from coffee. Yes, she made it (OK, one or two inadvertent lapses, and the panel has not actually ruled on the legality of decaf, but I for one am mightily impressed!).
According to the pool, Flip is the only one to call this result successfully. We of little faith (that would bescapersuse, mindrobber, P and I) are proved entirely wrong.
We never did decide on a prize, and to be honest I can't quite recall what this painful abstention was supposed to prove either. And I don't know how she did on the beer and melted cheese — we all kind of fixated on the coffee. All that said, heartfelt congratulations to bothcrankygrrl and Flip!

Although there was no official ruling on decaf, the consensus seemed to be that it was an acceptable coffee substitute and did not violate the spirit of abstaining from coffee.
I also want to stress that I had no part in the two times I was inadvertently caffienated.

Yay! c-grrl who has proven she is capable of anything, and yay, me!
