Drinking a can of Whoop Ass
Written by Mark Van Steenwyk : August 30, 2004
I’m sitting at my favorite coffee shop (2nd Moon on Franklin Avenue in Minneapolis). Amy and I are both working on our laptops working on stuff (ESL prep for her, a sermon for me). I finished my coffee, and wanted something refreshing, so I went to their refrigeration unit that holds all their carbonated beverages. They have an energy drink called “Whoop Ass.” The label reads: “Whoop Ass Energy Drink: Revitalizes Attitude & Restores Faith in Mankind.” I bought this so called can of “whoop ass.” I’ve finished about half of the can, and I have to confess: I think I was ripped off. So far, I am still cynical. I remain skeptical as to the merits of mankind. I’ll let you know if something magically happens after consuming the rest of the liquid in my can of Whoop Ass.

Christarchy! is a growing network of small groups for people who want to put the ethical teachings of Jesus into practice.
Submergent is a network of leaders who, embracing the Anabaptist impulse, are living into the Kingdom of God in a postmodern, post-colonial, post-Christian world. Together, we will re-baptize the Christian imagination!
Anchored in the West Bank neighborhood of Minneapolis, Missio Dei is committed to following Jesus' way of peace, simplicity, prayer, and hospitality.
The Missio Dei Breviary includes morning and evening prayers for one month. Edited (and freely shared) by Missio Dei, it draws primarily upon the Gospels, reflects Anabaptist convictions, and emphasizes missional commitment.
Energy drink does not “restore faith in mankind”
I found this post by Mark Van S very amusing.
I have an unopened can. Thanks for the warning!
