I feel moved to warn folk not to get too cozy with Starbucks. They're a Seattle firm, after all, and politically hot pink. If not outright red.
You just KNOW that THEY would be in bed with the dot-gov and voluntarily microstamp their styrofoam. Is that really an entity you want to support with your hard-earned after-tax dollars?
Great - maybe this will distract the Brady Bunch and they'll waste time campaigning against high capacity assault mugs.
Even in lefty-pink Seattle, you don't screw with peoples' espresso. Some years back a clown started a referendum to put a nickel a cup tax on espresso drinks "for the children." Ordinarily you could get people there to load Granny on the tumbrel "for the children" but this turkey crashed hard.
I heard the guy interviewed on the radio saying he couldn't understand how anyone could begrudge a nickel per cut "for the children" and I ended up driving down I-5 yelling at the radio "Because it isn't your effing money, assclown!" Immediately I got self conscious and did a quick scan of traffic, about half the drivers appeared to be yelling at their radios.

ReplyDeleteHoly hell that is teh funnay.
ReplyDeleteAt great personal risk, I'll ask what a knowing smile gets me termed?
ReplyDeleteBut will it kill a goat? Jim Cirillo used an honest-to-goodness china cup! None of that fancy-schmancy frangible styrofoam!
ReplyDeleteI use an assault cup, stainless-steel with "grips" enabling greater range. Clearly the ATFE will be after me to get it registered.
ReplyDeleteWhere's the .25 ACP calibration shot?

Sadly, now I have to fess up to my wife that she's right....I am a gun nerd.
ReplyDeleteBTW, what about the penetration of a steel travel mug vs. the common ceramic version?
