Here's one I like way more from them: Down on the Corner That's a driving song.

Yep, on a beautiful summer day, that's a great place to sit and watch all the (weird) people go by. I took my cousin from Europe there and she loved it (Robson, Burrard, Canada Place and the whole West End in general).You call it Van City. I call it Vahn-koo-vair (listening to Radio Canada in French).

Pantho, Pontiac FIREFLY !!! Isn't that the craziest thing you've seen. The first time I was in Montreal, I saw one of those...a rebadged Chevette, I guess. I about bust a gut.

Well, Mr. Bold Type, I'm sure you have a Starbucks story...since you're full of stories.

lube (I'm thinking like Ocn and Satty)

First and foremost, Starbucks is a stomping ground for losers involved in multi-level marketing....Amway, Quixtar, etc. These people are the bottom of the cesspool and it's too bad they have to bother people wanting to enjoy a cup at Starbucks or peruse books at B&N. About 1 year ago, I had an Americanized Hispanic guy start chatting me up at a Starbucks about 2 miles from my place. About the fifth question is what do you do and where? I tell him I don't disclose that and since his "sequence" and "approach" is so familiar and proceeded to go off on him. He hadn't EVEN ordered a drink! Most of these people are such zeroes...they're stringing together all kinds of weird jobs and they think they will make a killing doing this. Only those who invented it and are at the top of the pyramid will make any money. And they bother other people in the process. About 2 weeks ago, I went into a Starbucks in a decent area after going to a job site. I put down my attache in a seat, laid out some paperwork and my key ring. I went around the corner to get sugar and came back to find my keyring gone. My wallet was in my pocket and my paperwork was untouched. There are no markings of any kind on my key ring. This wouldn't have netted someone anything and if they "DMV'd" me, they'd get a PO Box for which I had the key changed. I essentially stayed there an hour going through every corner and even looking at 3 waste bins. Nothing. AAA came out and opened my car just in case they fell down under a seat. Nothing. They had to make a new key. What an inconvenience. Last night, I went into the Starbucks from the first story. About 12 women gathered at a table. The first few looked "normal." Then came in a couple with pert swept back short hair, golf shirts, khaki shorts and, for God's sake, their cell phones on their belt loop. None of them had wedding bands. OK, I see what this is all about. One of them was actually attractive and did not "fit" with the rest. Talk about stereotyping...some of the more "feminine" ones smiled at me as they got up to get something or even politely asked if they could take a chair. The surly ones made it a point to avoid looking at me as if I was invisible. God, I swear, unattractive carpet munchers are a bad breed, aren't they? Starbucks stories?

Nice to see another person who has no problem proclaiming that...even having tried several brands, almost all of them taste nasty.

When they turn into an undereducated, under- or unemployed divorced rag with kids, which is as early as in their early 30s, you'll feel LUCKY. Trust me! I have so many divorcees with kids (including at my office) trying to befriend me and all that's going through my head is "get the f*** away from me."

I'm at a loss for words. I would have taken the box of donuts and chucked them all over his showroom. You need to make a stink about this! You really do. Start with the zone manager and keep on going. I am good at this kind of stuff... I like getting people in trouble for egregious types of abuse

Can someone translate? Does this mean the tired and overused vertical oval grille?

Have sex all over your house. With who, I wouldn't know. And don't forget the raincoat(s).

Pantho, some good ones there: 3. Radar Love - nice and white trashy, great driving stuff (what about "Hot Rod Lincoln" then? I haven't a clue who did that) 4. Con Te Partiro - love it, fantastic, uplifting. I love all his $h!. Let's add a few black female vocalists who kick ass and help nudge the speedometer upward: Tina Turner - "Private Dancer" and "Break Every Rule" - title cuts are the better ones Pointer Sisters - "Neutron Dance" - heard it 2x while in Florida last month (Someone stole my brand new Chevrolet and the rent is due and I've got no place to stay...oooh ooooh) Patti LaBelle - "Lady Marmalade" (Voulez vous coucher avec moi ce soir?) Aretha Franklin - "Freeway of Love - Pink Cadillac" (Could you be a vision in white...how'd you get your pants so tight?) Crystal Waters - "Gypsy Woman - She's Homeless" (Dadadee dadada dadadee dadada dadadee dadada ...and on and on and on... and a whole boatload of synthesizer)

Satty, and you're going to be a Dad soon???
