Or Maybe Not

When your vision starts doing this kind of thing, it's time to switch to tea.

You White People Be A Mystery

They're more excited by the coffee than the fact that there is an erect, clothed cow serving it.


Many Thanks to Luna Pancake!

You Know, Old Man

I appreciate the gesture and all, but I always feel a bit jumpy when you take me to one of these chichi Starbucks.

You're The Cream In My Coffee

Thinking of you makes me quite disinclined to fasten up my dressfront.

Outbreak Focus

The CDC had tracked the locus of the latest zombie outbreak to a little cafe on Main Street in the tiny community of Hog's Snout, West Virginia.

A Little Earnest Seriousness Here

Starbucks Coffee is a very successful company purveying a dizzying variety of coffees and coffee specialties. Because it is so pervasive and has become such a commercial icon here in the States, it has also been the butt of many jokes, some good-natured, some not so much.


But I have been to a number of their stores here in Houston, Texas, and, not only am I thrilled with the product they sell, but I note that the shops serve as a venue and a means for people to get together socially. At one shop, a group of older men, of mixed race and backgrounds, meet regularly (daily, it seems) to chat over coffee.


Other shops I have been to are crowded with students studying together or simply taking a break from their work. Whatever the case, the shops are crowded with people in animated conversation, enjoying the social benefits of the caffeine drug.


And, I think that is a wonderful thing. Seriously.
