$tarbuck$
Dear Starbucks Addicts,
Like you, I need my caffeine fix in the morning. Before I leave the house, I brew myself a cup of coffee. I grind a scoop of beans in my coffee grinder and put them in a paper filter suspended over an empty coffee mug. As I’m doing this, I have a kettle of tap water boiling on the stove. When the kettle starts whistling at me I pour hot water over the coffee grounds and allow it to drip through until the cup is filled. Then I drink it. Then I wipe my ass with a five dollar bill and throw it away.
So I’m just like you. But with a freshly wiped ass.
Yeah, I’m a junkie. I have friends and family mule Peet$ and Starbuck$ into the country for me.
Oh, and I am jazzed to see Evaporation back in production. The little trip you and Steve took to the phonebooth (actually, your respective telling of the tale) is what turned me onto blogging.
Thanks again.
Don’t get me wrong, I like $tarbucks, I just don’t get people who go there every day to have someone make them a cup of coffee and pay an obscene mark-up for the privilege. That coffee I brew for myself in the morning? Starbucks’ Sulawesi Celebes, bought 5 lbs at a time at my local $tarbucks. So, yeah, I drink it, I just don’t pay them to boil the water for me.
I, too, am jazzed to see Steve back on the air. I talked to him last night and let me just say this: He’s going to have some incredible stories to tell.
Now that’s funny. I love the sarcasm.
