No Soy? or did we discuss this prior. Hm.....I think we even discussed that Odwalla is now owned by a huge corporation even, I had a soy vanilla almond future shake this morning. I know, I shouldn't mention an independent health food establishment in the same breath as a chain....

We can get these organic, calcium-enhanced, cultured soy drink shakes, too. Raspberry of Mango Apricot. The perfect way to start the morning.

Both. (But please note all your personalities are also huge fats.)

I also have an annoying Starbucks story, this morning I ordered a Venti Iced Raspberry Quad white mocha. And said it loud and clear. She called it out as "grande" and I pointed out the venti part. she recalled it. She ommitted the Quad part so I had to specify "please, an extra shot of espresso" she gave me the death look. I was unapologetic. First of all, each addition increases the price of the drink and I said it slow, loud and clear if she didn't get it, it's not my fault. Please. So many people order "grande no foam 2/3 decaf extra hot yadda yadda mocha" and hover over the barista to make sure it's exactly right....mine was not so bad.

Note that since Starbucks is so fucking cheap with its espresso that a venti has the same number of shots as a mocha (2) with more filler, a quad is actually two extra shots in a venti.

In an effort to model myself after dtb, I, too, did the trapeze today. And I agree, fan-fucking-tastic. I urge everyone in the NY area to do this. The adrenaline rush is fantastic, and when you make a catch it is such a thrill. Better than some sex I have had. Actually, probably better than all the sex I had from ages 16-22. I would highly recommend.

I thought, excuse my ignorance, that a grande had 2 shots a venti three and a quad is 1 extra shot for .50. You would think, for 5-6 bucks a coffee they could spare the espresso. sheesh!

Dylan Thomas. Or was he a drunken poet?

Yeats was all ouija boards, fairies and turning in a widening gyre. He doesn't say "Doomed Alchoholic" like Hemingway.

I wouldn't normally stoop to answer your racialist insinuations, but I'll have you know I was born in County Suffolk, Long Ireland, Herr Burgermeister Meisterburger.

That's how most coffee shops do it, and makes sense. But, no, Starbucks fucks you. I've taken to ordering a quadruple espresso over ice with whipped cream. That's like $3.10 plus tax, since they usually just charge me for two doppios ($1.55 each) since I am nice, occasionally tip and have a round green apple ass you could bounce a quarter off of.

How did you get turned on to the internet lawyer chatting board rage?

Back in the day, waaaaay back, my friend at law school was a bit of an internet geek, and after we graduated I got this e-mail from someone called nowhitenoise telling me to go to this web site he had started for lawyer gossip. Turns out it was my law school friend. It took me a while to get around to visiting the site, but soon I did, and comma chaser was born. Later, I retired that moniker, played around with some interim screen names, and settled on PLF.
