Huh? Which BIG suv's are made in Germany or Japan? Ford Excusion? nope. Chevy Suburban? nope. GM H2? Nope. Nissans big new SUV? nope. Was there a little whisky in your coffee? |

Their sizing system is messed up. A small coffee there is a Tall. If its small shouldn't it be called a Short? How is Grande medium? Grande, you think grand, you think grand you think big and calling a large Venti, wtf does Venti mean? Fuck starbucks and their messed up system.

Those fullsize lexus and toyotas ain't little and neither is that boxy Mercedes thingamajob. Looks like an old Trooper. |

Dude, that's one of the funniest stories I've read in a LONG time. Nice job! You sir, rock.
Am I the only one reminded of Dennis Leary? "A menu...coffee doesn't need a menu, it needs a cup, that's all it needs!" |
|
They are midsized "SUV's" (station wagons) at best, and most of them were built by US workers in US plants. Your complaining about Starbucks sizing sytem, yet you think a lexus "SUV" is BIG in a market that includeds the Excusion, Suburban, & H2. Now THAT'S funny. |

|
Oh sure. Tell us your straight. I didn't even know they had a 'naming system'. You can not only name them, but explain them. They have good quiche there, too? TRG |
|
|
+1. That was beautiful. |
|
|
me too. |
|
|
LMAO!!!
The ONLY way this could have been better was if Ol' Blue had a Cummins instead of a Mopar 318. LET 'ER RIP, BOY!!!! |
|
mmmmmm.... Nothing like a $8 cup of coffee, in who the hell knows what size.
Bravo BayEagle. If you go back make Ol' Blue jump up the curb of the patio a little, just to give em a scare. |

You obviously can't appreciate my advanced literary skills in attempting to juxtapose the vehicles of choice driven by my antagonists - the Big and Little imports. The dichotomy of it, the sheer irony. <sigh> My talents are wasted. |

great, great, great!!!!
I loved the Wedge reference with the three-legged At-At. Last time I was at Starbucks, it was here in Jacksonville after we had been without power for two days due to one of the fourteen hurricanes that came our way this season. The Starbucks in Riverside was the only one open. My wife and I NEEDED coffee. So we go to the repository of wonderful coffee and all things Democrat. Riverside is a section of town known for its large gay population, WAAAY overpriced real estate and by far more Kerry yard signs than W. Anyway, the line extends far out the front door. My wife and decide to wait. The woman in front of me has W and Bush/Cheney buttons all over her purse. She and I strike up a purposely LOUD conversation wherein we extolled the virtues of W and reveled in discussing the pathetic state of a democratic party that would offer up Kerry for sacrifice. This LOUD conversation lasted for about 30 minutes. We discussed everything from the necessity of the Iraq war to the lies and flip-flopping of Kerry and everything in between. Not a single patron, many of whom had bumper stickers for Kerry or other democrat-identifying marks, had the cajones to say anything to oppose us. It was the single best cup of coffee I have ever received at Starbucks. |

Beautiful, just beautiful!
Watch out piccolo! We have another master storyteller here. |
|
Both Lexus and Acura SUVs are made in Canada. |

Hey now, no where did I explain the naming system? instead it was a mini rant against it, whoever came up with the system must have been high on something . guiche? isn't that what french people eat? |
||
|
Well, they're called 'Baristas' because it would hurt their feelings if you called them 'Coffee girls/boys'. I mean, that would be so unsophisticated and neanderthal!
The same goes for the cups! They need to have some hippy fresh name for everything so as to be 'different'. The whole precept of the liberal mindset is being different from everyone else by being more 'enlightened'. |
|
That's good shit man...and the AT-AT reference was funny as hell.
|
|
Stay with me people! Follow the money! Ain't no damn Canucks named Toyota! Who is gettin' PAID? That's what I'm sayin'. Sure. There's a McDonald's in Machuria. Ray Kroc (RIP) is gettin paid the big bucks, dangit. Not Wang-Hung Low. |

Me Three....... Great Post! |
||
|
Don't. I don't add any crap to my coffee, either. When I see people dumping loads of sugar and cream in their coffee, it maks me wonder if they actually like COFFEE or not. The most you'll ever see me do is add a touch of salt if it's extremely bitter (i.e. cooked down for a couple of days) and I need my fix. |
|
|
That may be what you meant, but it's not what you wrote. I apologize for assuming you actually meant what you wrote. |

Hey, I know! Let's argue semantics about a hell of a good story. For fuck's sake...
BayEagle, OUTSTANDING! |
|
Good Lord! When Steinbeck talked about the Green Light at the end of the dock in The Great Gatsby, was he talking about outdoor lighting or money? Was the sign with the Big Eye just overbearing Optometric marketing? Or was it something more? Did I mean what I wrote or was it a trap? |

|
You know, you just MIGHT be able to give Piccolo a run for his money in the storytelling department.
I suggest you and Piccolo join forces. The Seeing Eye Cat's Starbucks Adventure! CJ |
|
|
If we want to argue about something let's argue about the fact that there was only one AT-AT reference. THIS STORY NEEDS MORE AT-AT! |

AR15fan just ran out of "I Hate W" stuff to post and has to piss on BayEagle. BayEagle: I laughed. I cried. It changed my life. You have some real talent. |
|
|
Well they are foreign built. Perhaps I missed one in the parking lot. Hmmm. It may go in the movie version. |
||
|
Here is a perfect match to BayEagle's story! Click here and watch "Small, Medium, Large" and "COFFEE HOUSE PROPAGANDA"
edited to add profanity warning |
|
P.S. Mercedes, Hyandi's, and Toyota parts are made in America, in AL to be exact.
But I do feel ya, bro. |
|
AR15FAN, you're a big dork. Your stupid, pedantic argument just sullied what was otherwise the best post of the day. Thanx, dickhead.
|
|
A Cummins and a rifle rack, with an AR and a FAL. |
|
|
Oh, i thought this was a discussion board, not a bulliten board for short stories. again, excuse me for assuming you meant what you wrote. i didnt realize it was pretend story time. |
|||||||
|
Was it pretend? Or was it real? Is it being discussed? Or being trolled? Does it rub the lotion on it's skin? BTW- I appreciate your lack of capitalization in your last post. Very "ee cummings" of you. Well done. |
|
|
Is picking apart a good story your talent. If so, you have none! |

|
Bravo BayEagle !!!
Magnificent post! A fucking classic indeed! P.S. If you ever go back there, go on open headers! |
|
Lesse.... "redneck" goes to Starbucks while making fun of people who go to Starbucks... ridicules bicycles while bragging about stinky exhaust. Makes sense. (heh)
