----------------------Just what the HELL is a Bonus Cup?----------------------

      Well, that's a normal question.  The answer is just as simple.  Bonus
Cup is a very legal and very interesting way to stay awake all night.  First
mentioned [to my knowledge] by The Descendents.

      Uses:  Well, say you and five or 6 of your most insane friends are
going out to trash the city!  Well, after an hour or two the excitement is
being dulled by the fact that it's three in the morning and you've not gone to
sleep in 79 hours.  Well then, you stop by/break into a friend's/enemy's house
and make yourselves a coupla bonus cups.

-------------------------Ok Then, What's in this File?------------------------

      Well, very simply, two basic recipes for making bonus cups.  First
however, what you need to know.

      If you intend to sleep within 5 hours of ingestion of a TRUE bonus cup,
you're out of your mind.  To do so would be mental suicide, as your dreams, if
you weren't wracked by insomnia, would be of Nightmare on Elm Street quality.

      If you are hypertensive, have a heart condition, or are basically
allergic to caffeine, or are diabetic, DON'T READ ANY FURTHER.  I do NOT take
personal responsibility for any injuries resulting in Bonus Cup usage.

      Ok. On to the recipes.

-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
                                  RECIPES!
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------

                      Bonus Cup [The Daddy of them All]

      Ok... so you gotta wake up hard, but you want to do it slow?  Then this
ones for you.
      In your regular, everyday coffee mug, combine 3 heaping tablespoons
[The big ones...] and 9 heaping tablespoons of sugar.  Add hot water, and cold
till you get the temperature you want.  Drink. [Duh?]
      If in twenty minutes you don't feel like walking the dog to Australia
and jogging back, have another.  Repeat as often as necessary, no more than 24
in a 24 hour period.  [Yeah right?]

-------------------------------------------------------------------------------

                      Bonus Cup ][ - Harder and Faster!

      Ok... so you gotta wake up hard, fast, and powerful?  Read on.

      In a 12-16 oz. Glass, combine either 5 or 6 heaping tablespoons of
Folger's instant coffee, and about [1 lb.?]  15 tablespoons of sugar.  Add hot
and cold water till you reach your desired temperature... drink.

      This is, obviously, a tad more potent than the original bonus cup.  It
is also more dangerous.  Heart attacks, anyone?

-------------------------------------------------------------------------------

                        Bonus Cup III - Bonus Cup Jr.

                            My PERSONAL favorite

In a 4 oz. glass, mix:  3 tablespoons of instant coffee with 3 tablespoons of
sugar.  Fill 3/4 of the way with hot water, the rest with cold.  Drink slowly.
repeat procedure three times.

      What's so great about Bonus Cup Jr.?  Well, in about 5 minutes time you
can get yourself awake to the point of no return.  It works great on school
mornings...

-------------------------------------------------------------------------------

      Remember.  1 Heaping Tablespoon is supposed to be equal to one cup.

      Hence: Bonus Cup = 3 Cups of coffee
          Bonus Cup ][ = 5-6 Cups of coffee
         Bonus Cup Jr. = 3 Cups of coffee x 3 servings = 9 cups.

Be careful, and don't die.  I can't afford a lawsuit right now.....
