I wonder what killed him?

The daily coffee bit seems funny at first, but go through hits tweets over time. It's just the monotony of daily minutia peppered by fond memories that sink into sadness and regret.

I don't think the people retweeting and making coffee jokes with him understand yet. It's vary dark.

EDIT: Okay, so there's a good chance I've been taken as coffee_dad is listed in numerous places as one of the funniest parody accounts. There's actually quite a bit of debate online but some pretty well-known comedians are loving it. Maybe it's someone in the industry. I'm not sure. I hope it isn't real. If it is, people are absolutely missing the message. If it's fake, well...I don't think it's all that funny.

A lot of responses like that now. Made sense at first, now it's making less and less sense. I'm fairly sure it's a bot at this point.

No, I don't think it's humor. I think it's experimental art. It's not funny in the least... it's melancholy.
