You guys DO understand that when you pay that kind of $$ for Starbucks, you aren't just paying for the coffee, but you are also paying rent!? Where else can you make one beverage purchase and then sit for 2 hours and they don't chase you out? Maybe at a ball game, but you still have to buy the ticket in the first place. I've had my coffee there, and done some pretty satisfying sketch work while sitting there for extended periods. And it's a lease you can break without losing your deposit! You got try that with the 89 cent coffee at 7-11 (or for those in Europe, 7-with-the-little-slash-in-the-middle-11)

Talking of sarcastic wit...

The liquid product of a tickling clip probably tastes better than a Starbuck's coffee. 😀 (Please note the probably in the middle! I do not have personal experience to judge in person! 😀😀😀)

I don't know.... some of those later Deacon Blue videos with Kahuna Wong, I'd go with the coffee.

I can't believe we're even having this conversation!

Just look at all the happy, smiling emoticons enjoying themselves in the Krispy Kreme parking-lot!

All this talk about donuts reminds me of a rather funny true story that happened to me during my pot smoking days. I stoked up a bowl after work one night. Now, anybody familiar with pot will tell you that along with the pleasant buzz, there are two side effects: Hunger and paranoia. By the time I'd driven from work back to my neighborhood I had a big-time case of the "munchies" but it was like 2 am and just about everything was closed. Then I saw the little Krispy Kreme / Mobile Gas Station convience store which is open 24x7 and my red, half-closed eyes lit up.

I swung into the parking lot and immediately noticed three police cars parked there. Immediately I'm struck by a blast of paranoia. "Oh shit! Cops! What'll I do? I gotta get out of here! But what if they've already seen me pull in? It'll look too suspicious if I leave now. They might follow me and then I'm fucked!"

Like it or not, I was committed, so I took a deep breath, and regained my composure. I walked into the little store and was immediately dazzled by the overly bright florescents. I asked the guy behind the counter where the donuts were, and he pointed toward the back. I looked toward where he was pointing but all I saw were six cops standing back there shooting the breeze.

At this point, I'm thinking that I should have followed my first instincts and fled the scene while I could. Very stoned and uncertain, I turned back to the clerk and said "I'm sorry, where did you say they are?"

"Right back there, behind those cops..." Suddenly a mischievous grin spread across the clerk's face and to my horror, he calls back toward the cops in a "wise-guy" tone of mock aggrevation, "Hey! I know you guys looove donuts, but would you mind clearing a path for this guy?"

Fortunately, the cops all thought this was hilarious and cracked up. I laughed nervously along with the joke, like a character in a sitcom. Then I proceeded to get my donuts with six cops crowded around me. After I had paid and left, I shook my head and thought to myself, "nobody will believe this," and drove home without incident.

My brother manages a Starbucks and I asked him about this today, he said as far as he knows Starbucks sends tons of coffee to troops overseas.
