A Maxwell House Coffee bad boy 
Come on folks. That's funny. maxwel drinking coffee. Maxwell House Coffee.
I'm going to record the names of those who posted responses between this here response and my Maxwell response. None of which so far have LIKEd my response. I will not forget.
Tourist won't be on the list. He at least followed up with a response.
Consider this my like to my MHC response, here it is: LIKE (Galahad).
I didn't "like" it because that is not real coffee. I don't drink coffee but everyone else in my family does. And if you tried to serve them that coffee they would never come to your house again. Folgers (black silk, the darkest roast) is considered the baseline, the lowest quality they can tolerate.
Serious, they have stopped going to restaurants they really liked because they switched to a cheaper coffee. It's almost as important to them as my good dark chocolate is to me.
But it was a funny joke... just please don't tell my coffee drinking family I admitted it was funny. I don't want to be disowned.

The recent thread about height discrepancies got me thinking (which is always dangerous for me.) Would it be possible for you to date someone tamer than you?
Someone more adventurous, that would be no problem... as long as it doesn't drag one too far out of the cherished comfort zone.
But what if you're the one who is more adventurous? Would it be a drag being with someone who doesn't want to (whatever, sky diving, bungee jumping, horseback riding, fill in the blank here.) And to what degree would the reluctance have to be before you gave up on the person? Would you call it quits if the person was not excited about stuff but went along anyway, or would you only give up on the relationship if the other person were adamantly refusing to do anything dangerous?

Yes, I would find it hard to date someone tamer than me. I'm not a rollercoaster, bungy jumping, sky-diving thrill seeker (although I enjoy rollercoasters), but I do love climbing trees, road trips and the everyday little adventures.
I have a guy friend who I was considering dating, but he is a very cautious and safe person and it left me quite frustrated when we hung out. He tended to live like there is a secret company of people watching his every move, waiting for him to stuff up. Maybe safe can be a good thing, but I found it was a great wedge between us preventing us from moving forward from 'friendship'.
I have this idea that life is adventurous, loving someone and learning about them is adventurous, going deeper in to God and learning about His very nature and His love for us is adventurous, there is so much of life that calls us to be courageous and to step out of our comfort.
If I am going to date someone, I want to know they have the courage to step out and to face something bigger than themselves. I believe this is an important quality to look for when considering doing life with someone.
I guess some people who consider themselves 'tame' might be courageous and bold in other areas of life *Shrugs* but I consider these adventurous qualities as something worth purposefully look for. Life is too short. Life demands to be lived. The random and the spontaneous, the silliness and quirkiness makes me feel alive, and that's something I want to share with someone: life.
