Oily Homer -- Good to the last drop


Anyone reading this old enough to remember coffee? No, not latte, or capicrapicino, or mochacoccalattafrappacrappa, just plain old coffee.

Try going into a Starbucks and ordering a large coffee. I refuse to play their yuppy games of vente, grande, and whatever else they use for sizes. I order a LARGE, regular, black coffee with as much caffeine as they can fit in their recycled environmentally friendly cups.

You'd think that would be clear enough, but they STILL ask if I want room for milk... I seldom put milk in black coffee, but since most of the clerks at Starbucks have never had real coffee, I can forgive their ignorance.

And who is the idiot that decided coffee needed foam on the top? Foam? I don't even like a lot of foam on my beer, but at least it got there honestly.

Okay, I'm through ranting. I feel better now. Uh, I'm done ranting for now. There will be others, trust me.
