The name of the ice cream and coffee blended concoction Cappachillo makes me think immediately of some chimeraical combination of a chinchilla and a chupacabra (blended with coffee and ice cream, of course).
Do you suppose this is an indication of caffeine deficiency, heat exhaustion, or both?

I'm teaching an intermediate-level class in the fall that I've taught a few times before with varying levels of success. I've taught it enough times that it's time to do some tweaking, and I find that I'm faced with a very interesting dilemma. In a nutshell, the dilemma is this: which thing, or…
I think it's an indication of misplaced priorities. Thinking of ice cream and coffee only makes me head for the kitchen. :D
must be heat exhaustion, because it makes perfect sense to me...
My first thought was Capuchin monkey/chinchilla flavored beverage. Yours sounds more delicious and refreshing.
Sean, is it that you find chupacabra more delicious and refreshing than Capuchin monkey? Or, did the beverage you initially imagined not contain coffee and ice cream as well?
The former. I suspect the hint of goat's blood would add a delicious salty tang to the whole melange.
