I'm enjoying the Christmas Blend right now. It's excellent.

Australia: The 52nd state (after Canada, of course).

Well jag, that's some pretty tough talk from folks who still have a queen as the head of state. ;)

*laughz
I just htought it was interesting there was such a large and broard annoyance with starbucks =)

Thats pretty arrogant from folks who have their head of state chosen by a court :p

Depends on how you look at it. Besides, you don't see the US keeping a tie to mother England, now do you? ;)

YOu don't see most of australia doing that anyway.

You don't see 2 states in Aastralia passing laws to block the teaching of evolution (20 in the US - comparison number) though :p

This my country is better than your country is so silly its not funny.

Ya... The Yanks are invading...

One -if- by cappucino ... two -if- by steamed milk.


BTW... if the Yanks were invading by way of Coffee; it'd be known as a 'Cup of Joe'


Cheers

<i>20 in the US - comparison number</i>

Whose number is that? It's closer to 1 (Kansas).

It was a joke for the most part...

*smack!*

Didn't Tennessee pass something like that too? Or, I must be thinking of the original Scopes trial. That, and they're the ones that tried to pass the "moment of silence" deal that got struck down in the Supreme Court.

One good thing that came out of being educated in Catholic schools: They specifically tell you not to take the Bible word-for-word. Big fans of evolution...of course, 400 years ago, it was another story...

Most were passed (and since repealed i assume) in 1960, particulary 1961 after a speach by a secular professer at a christian compus who's name I have forgotten saying the same chemical process that brought us into being could have brought adam and eve into being. THe following outrage, sparked by a far right wing publication called the Sword of the Lord caused the laws to be passed.

syc - i am jokeing =)
Although i can see an international called the CDABAC being formed "Coffee Drinkers Agains't Bad American Coffee"
At least it is according to two people i've spoken to who've tried the virtual caffinated garden of eve that is Italy and tried starbucks in the US.

Just for that, I hope the hell Starbucks blows up down under...heh. American coffee kicks ass. And Starbucks isn't even my favorite...I have to go with Chock Full O' Nuts.

Hey, has anyone ever noticed how the taste of coffee is affected by the water used? As an example, I am finally enjoying coffee again in the City of Philadelphia. Man, when I lived in Prince George's County, MD, they must have been dragging water directly from the Anacostia River. That water used to make me sick as hell...and made my coffee taste like shit. Unfortunately, I am too cheap to invest in a Brita filter or Culligan. ;)

Serves you right. Real men drink Root Beer. Coffee == gross. Really really gross.

Wait until you're a few years older...maybe then you will appreciate the awesome power that is coffee. :)

Fuck that shit. Seriously. Stinky breath. Yellow teeth. Shitty taste. No thanks. :)
