#@!(*^! Starbucks

You know, I don't have any sort of beef with Starbucks like your ordinary coffee snob. Yes, I like frappaccinos. Yes, I love their espresso brownies. Yes, I use their bathroom in the city that never sleeps and never has any public bathrooms. And finally, YES I DO ENJOY THEIR ESPRESSO! This isn't new, but I haven't had a double from them in a while (who needs it with Intelligentsia downtown!). Actually, their doubles are drinkable and that's fine by me when I'm tired; never anything else.

The other day, I posted something rather silly. A few mouse clicks later, I'm reading about how a small cafe in the midwest (OK) named themselve DoubleShot and now Starbucks wants to sue them for using their patented name. Yup, Starbucks thinks they invented the term "doubleshot". And their doubleshot drink is crappy. Oh, by the way, I invented the term "doppio" and "europe" and "computer". I own them all, including the french word for computer.

You can support DoubleShot by ordering one of their shirts.
