[lbo-talk] SBUX, favorite of the young, liberal, and female

[N P Childs]

In an old job when I did a lot of driving and I could use Tim Horton's 
coffee as a prescription stimulant, I was very good at calculating the 
relationship between; time of day, driving time likely (adjusting for time 
of year), type of coffee (decaf, regular or flavor) and sugar/creamer ratio 
necessary to make sure I didn't wind up, say, flying into a bridge abutment 
at 150 mph, much as the late Tim Horton actually did. Of course he was 
hammered at the time. Brush with stupidity; a friend in university had 
relatives who lived next to said abutment and would take you down to show 
you the holes in the cement caused by Tim's last drive.

Seriously, there is something physically in that coffee, how else to 
explain the regular huge line-ups at the drive through and inside at every 
location? They opened one downtown here and it's regularly packed. I tend 
to prefer 2nd Cup blends, less harsh and addictive.

Me, I avoid Buttf***ks, quoting Paulie Walnuts, first, because the coffee 
burns holes in my GI track, second, as a comedian up here said, every time 
I go in there it reminds me what the world would look like if the Nazis had 
won.
