Mr Man is absolutely convinced that the I started the Still Room in direct response to my affinity for playing with Alchemy in our Morrowind: The Elder Scrolls XBox game.
Yes. And time temporal anomalies give her a headache. Thus, if you desire to meddle with the space-time continuum without application of analgesics, don't drink coffee :)
I love your icon! Have you tried any of the flavored Earl Greys out there, like Tealuxe's Blue Flower Earl Grey or Creme de la Earl Grey? I find them much more intriguing and tasty than plain old Earl Grey.
(But I do confess, Justin, that Picard is the man who convinced me to give Earl Grey tea another try, after years of swearing I only liked sugary teas. Luckily, I am beyond the sugar stage, now.)
I haven't tried the flavored teas, mostly because the times I've tried Earl Grey have left me with a bad taste in my mouth, so to speak. I don't like the lemon flavor - I take my tea with milk.
I have enough other teas that I adore that I figure I don't really need another one. (There are currently 16 tins of different teas on my desk at work, after all. I think that's enough. ;)
Yeah -- my taste in tea has gradually moved from "Okay if there's a ton of sugar into it" to "A little sweetener. Maybe. If it's black tea."
I drink Earl Grey (or for that matter, English Breakfast) with One Standard Sweetness Unit (most often a packet of Splenda) -- far less sweet than American prebrewed crap. Green tea I've found I prefer iced and pure -- Tea's Tea has become my beverage addiction of choice...
Considerably earlier than "last year". Some googling turned up the following:

Earl Grey's tea appreciate the space trip
The Sixth Earl Grey, a member of the British House of Lords and heir to the original Earl Grey, former Bristish prime minister, has taken notice of our beloved starship captain's penchant for the beverage named after his ancestor. As a reward for Picard's faithful advertisement for the beverage, the earl sent Patrick Stewart, who plays Picard, a special commemorative tea service.
The 22-karat-gold-embellished tea service, one of only 500 made and with an estimated value of $495, was designed by the Countess Grey, and presented to Stewart as he entered Manhattan's Richard Rodgers Theater where he was performing his one-man rendition of ``A Christmas Carol.'' Along with the tea service was a note from the Earl Grey which said,
I have been interested to observe the character you have so successfully portrayed in ``Star Trek: The Next Generation'' has a penchant for the beverage that bears my family name. As you have now become one of the most famous Earl Grey tea-drinkers in the world, I would like to take this opportunity to present to you a ``Heritage'' Limited Edition Earl Grey tea set to commerorate its introduction into the U.S.
For ConJose's Star Trek Jeopardy!, I wrote a category titled "Ts Other Than Earl Grey Hot"; focused on middle initials and the names of Vulcan females. Never really cared for Earl Grey tea, although I'm definitely a significant tea drinker.

Fortunately, Janeway drinks coffee. :)

You may have seen the newspaper article a year or so ago that he was sent a fancy tea set by the current Earl Grey.
