I am an old comic nerd 0

Drinking my hot tea for my sore throat and using an avengers vs. X-men coaster in the process

Better than using a CGC slab as a coaster

Would that create Newton rings?

I think they have been baked into the price of grading

Weird. I have the same coaster at my desk while reading your post.

My throat's feeling okay though.

I'm confused, is it the tea or coaster that makes you a nerd?

neither. Isn't he a jokester? Comic...get it? Like when Johnny Carson had Jack Kirby on and said he was offended because he, Carson, was "The King of Comics".

You're not old if you don't have a bowl of prunes next to your tea.

Hope you feel better soon!

Sounds yummy, but all I have at the moment is decaf, none the less I shall microwave my cup and drink it with the appropriate gusto  

It's finally cold enough to drink something hot other than coffee in the morning

Man, I think there's a bug going around... a lot of people in the office are getting sick recently, sore throat, cough, etc...

Whatever you said, I hope you feel better.

The fact that it is my go to coaster...(although I have 2 more in mint condition for when this one falls apart)... I actually have a Spider-Man mug, but my wife made the tea, so I wasn't in charge of grabbing it.

How would tea make anyone a nerd? I am not normally a big hot tea drinker, but when I am sick and my throat is a wreck, I am. Herbals stuff, usually out of a box with a picture of a bear wearing a sleeping cap or some such nonsense, mixed with some earl grey or orange pekoe (aka Lipton) for flavor. I was also drinking hot bone broth I had been cooking up for 15 hours from Thanksgiving turkey carcass and some frozen chicken bones. A manly man's drink.

That’s not what happened.

I don’t have time to re-tell the story; this article does a decent job:
