@Daniel: Like Radiskull, I like my coffee boiling hot! Thanks, Daniel!
Sylvia from Milano, Italy
Ha ha! Your talent makes me feel small and helpless and like a great gush of dark stuff is gonna saturate my pores......

@Sylvia: That's a good feeling right? Anyway, no real talent; it's just a parlour trick.
Duncan Galbraith from kyoto, Japan
wonderfully arranged and executed! I'm mightily impressed with this one. How exactly did you pull this off? Its a cracker. Wish I had something more thematic for the day after seeing this. The welding mask I procured from a friend is reducing the retinal damage thank god :-))

@Duncan Galbraith: Well, first I needed a really big cup... No actually, I just set up the tripod, used the self-timer, took mini-me out of my pocket, and Bob's your uncle. Thanks, Duncan! I think Caleb's mask might work as well.
Untitled from Kyoto, Japan
Very nicely done. Like the linguistic twist in the title. But can't help feeling something else is wrong...could it be...a new camera?

@Untitled: Thanks, sHadow! Erm, about the camera, I'm afraid I'll have to say April Fool to that. See it's neither new nor mine. I've used it before on these pages, but it belongs to 'the office' and isn't something I take home too often.
Angry Buddha from United States
Do you take that with cream and sugar? Great work!

@Angry Buddha: No sugar - I'm sweet enough already. Thanks, Sean!
@Nick Passantino: Thanks, Nick!
@Mammoth in Chief: Hey Mammoth! Good to see you around! Thanks for the visit! Very deviant art you're making, by the way.
Bronnie from Christchurch, New Zealand
that coffee is just not strong enough for me - I'd be sitting there with my mouth open if it were me in the cup!!! Happy April Fool's!!

@Bronnie: Ah, but I did have my mouth open - like a baby bird! Thanks, Bronnie!

Stunner from Kingston, Jamaica
Neat shot! Is that my favorite hot beverage, coffee?

@Stunner: Indeed it is! I wish I could say it was Jamaican Blue Mountain, but you know we can't have everything. Thanks, Stunner!
Martine Lapointe from Québec, Canada
Are you like Obelix, when he had fall in the potion? "Hot" shot!!!
