You misunderstand me, Sunny. Is one to ignore the subject in the parentheses and respond to the other stuff that's not in parentheses in order to stay on-topic, or what ?

[scratches head]

Never mind. I'm going to drink an entire pot of coffee straight from the pot, and smoke an entire pack of Luckies. That's the breakfast that makes everything make sense. Billy Nguyen never hesitated, so why should I ?

If there's any doubt, Cleo , you can always respond to the previous, non-parenthetical post.

(And I thought about putting this post entirely in parenthesis, too, but realized that that would just be mean. )

If it follows rationally from one of the previous 5 posts, then it is on topic whether in parentheses or not.

Okay. I inexplicably feel better now.

(Mmmm... Coffee...)

<not a fan of coffee>

Well, you can still have some Luckies, but they aren't quite the same with tea.

<not a fan of Luckies or cigarettes in general>

I just like the imagery, myself. I never light the things. (Ssshhh... it's a secret.)

<so parentheses bothered you, but not these thingies? >

Nothing bothers me after an entire pot of coffee, except the desire for a second pot.

So coffee has a beer-like effect on you? Does that mean beer has a coffee-like effect?

New drink at Starbucks - beer flavored coffee.

The rule of thumb is: Coffee before sundown. Beer after sundown.

I know, I know. A person whose been out of work this long should probably reverse that and see if her fortunes reverse in the process, but...

And, Quislet, there's already coffee-flavored beer. So you might as well.

Hmmm....I've been doing it wrong then, there have been days I started drinking before noon

If you don't stop, then you can't start before noon.

I've never bought a cup of coffee at Starbucks. I am not a fan of coffee in general and more importantly, I'm cheap.

There are three good reasons to avoid Starbuck's:

1. the drinks are overpriced
2. the drinks are crap
3. you could be supporting a local merchant instead.

But...but...but it's STARBUCKS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

For the most part, Starbucks coffee is too bitter. When I do go, I always ask for extra room for milk. On the other hand, I can't stand the taste of sweetened coffee, so milk pretty much has to do it.

In all honesty, I prefer tea, but getting a decent cup of tea in the United States (outside of certain ethnic establishments and places that specialize in that sort of thing) is next to impossible.

I go to Starbucks when I can afford to do so. They're really no more expensive than other coffee places, local or otherwise. As for their coffee being bitter, I'm not enough of a coffee connoisseur to be able to tell the difference. I do like their Java Chips (coffee with chocolate chips and whipped topping), however.

I don't go to Starbucks at all. I have been known to buy espressos when I'm out and about (I can't stand milky coffee, and "normal" coffee has always tasted watered-down to me), but I don't drop into Consumer Whore

You'd think a company that loaded could afford a sense of humor. [snerk] But I kid our benevolent multinationals. Thank You. I'll be here all week.

Bah! No coffee shop gets myhard-earned $$$!

Tim Horton's used to get quite a bit of my cash, but the two here in town are always WAY too busy for me to go. 20 min lineups are insane

Twenty minutes?! They must be really good, then. (I don't think there's a Tim Horton's around here.)
