    No way. It's too late now. Might as well start editing and give us something to read.

      Me too. I thought it was going to be another announcement about how Starbucks has now opened yet another new Starbucks inside Starbucks' restroom.

        Isn't that in the Starbucks that's across the street from Starbucks?

          Now, how are we going to know which Starbucks coffee cup quote is true? Is it the Starbucks or the other new Starbucks inside Starbucks' restroom. Or is it the Starbucks across the street from Starbucks? Or are the quotes on the restroom walls in the Starbucks inside the Starbucks direct quotes of Starbucks coffee cup quotes? How can you just say to ignore all this?

            Got me Paul.
            I've never been inside a Starbucks in my life.

              Meet me at the Starbucks on the corner right across the street from Starbucks, and I'll buy you a cup.

                  No kegs yet, I've asked. But for a hefty weekly fee they'll set you up with an in-home (variable speed) drip IV. For an extra $110, you can also get the optional computer desk clamp IV stand in any of four colors.

                    There is no way of getting a keg of Starbucks. If you go up the road from Starbucks there is a Starbucks with a bar across the street that sells kegs, but you have to buy the beer to get the keg. But, there is a new Starbucks just opening up down the road just around the corner from Starbucks which is next to a bar that just opened up. You might be able to cut a deal with them.

    Kilgore was here!

    I will have you know that I saw the picture of President Palin in her office and played with the little stuff -including the sofa cushion that goes up and down (why?)

    why would you take it away? So what if it was in another post?

    This is the Off Topic Frontier - we do what we damn well please here pretty much, SO PUT THE LINK BACK PLEASE.

    Hey engineers? JV? I envision a CPU Mr. Coffee machine. Perfect fit for a coffee pot in a tower, right?

    The deluxe model will dispense donuts from the CD drive that is rarely used for anything anyway. Just wave them and they puff up.

    Forget Buckys.

      That makes two of us. Are we the only two who have never been to Starbucks? Of course, I don't drink coffee so that might have something to do with it.

      My prediction is that Starbucks may be downsizing before too long. When money gets tight, that $6 cup of coffee may be the first thing to go.

      Only one Starbucks per city block? How on earth would folks survive?

        Which is why I've never been in a Starbucks.
        I'll never pay more for a cup of coffee then it costs me to buy a can of coffee in the supermarket.
        Around here we have a chain of convenience stores called Stewarts, coffee's good and cheap.
        They also make their own ice cream which is how they started I believe.


        Pat in the Palin white house, click on everything that is clickable like the couch cushion and stuff, you'll see whu.

    They have been downsizing for a long time now. Turns out every town does not need 100 Starbucks. Go figure.

    They have excellent stuff besides coffee. The ones here have pastries, sandwiches, smoothies, teas, candy, music cd's and gifts.

    My favorite is a sugar free 5-pump vanilla soy cappachino with whipped cream and a chocolate biscotti.

    yummm.

    Ever tried to have a conversation with a diehard "Bucky"

    They talk waaaayyy too fast, their eyes flutter, and they all seem to have this strange little body twitch that I find distracting...

      Starbucks stock price is about the same as a cup of their capuccino. You know how excited I get about stocks, and I only have one cup of coffee a day. There's just something about stocks that drives me wild, but I go to Starbucks for the wii.

      Actually I am waiting for the mobile units to come out. Why should we have to go to a freaking store for a cup of coffee when they could just as easily drive it out to us?

      As for the price - why do you think they called it "Star Bucks"?

      Starbucks Introduces "Thanksgiving Coffee Blend", a New Coffee That Pairs Perfectly with the Biggest Dinner of the Year.

      Arriving November 4, at Starbucks stores across the country and just in time for the biggest meal of the year, Starbucks Thanksgiving Blend is a flavorful combination of full-bodied beans from Sumatra, with hints of fine herbs, and beans from Guatemala, which add subtle spice, notes of cocoa and a pleasant sparkle. This new coffee blend is the perfect complement to the cornucopia of savory and sweet foods shared around the Thanksgiving table - from sage-rubbed turkey to pumpkin pie.

      Stock price is up $.04 to 10.55 on this news release. Buy a share of ownership in Starbucks now for the price of a cup of coffee.
