"ok, medium then, jesus christ." you gavin-frederick-looking doofus, maybe the cold air on your bare midriff is making you irritable, but a quick google search shows that 'regular' is a widely accepted synonym for 'medium.' however, it was not so much that phe had never been to another place that put liquids in different sized cups as it was that he was distasteful of me perhaps having been to them. i got the sense that he felt me to be a business schmo who was too versed in the lingo of the corporate shops to wrench myself free and pay phim the martyr's wage phe deserved. <a href="http://www.cafetableaux.com/?pp_album=main&pp_cat=gallery&pp_image=hideout_4.jpg" title="hideout 4"><img src="http://www.cafetableaux.com/wp-content/photos/thumb_hideout_4.jpg" alt="hideout 4" width="140" height="105" class="pp_image"</a> i dont like starbucks either bro! that is why i came here instead of going directly across the street. i dont know how you could treat anyone with that brand of disdain when the choice they have made is so preposterously evident. such is the paradox of the tragically hip. dont think i dont understand it bro. it is too bad for the rest of us that halcyon around the corner closed down. now every time i see that bowlcut through the window i will have to just go back to my room and make a cup in the autodrip machine stored in the wardrobe. addendum: apparently halcyon is only closed for 1 month. phew!!! i know phe didnt know i was a contributor to a site that vehemently supports and delights in the many hundreds of independent coffeeshops around the country, how could he. i guess phe is just a dick to everyone except the homeless santa claus with 2 cellphones drinking a lonestar tallboy at 9am. after ordering my beverage and stating the size i desired, medium, phe rattled around a bit before asking me again what size i required. “um, regular?” i stated, not knowing what nomenclature out of the many this particular establishment utilised. “what? i dont know ‘regular’.” “ok, medium then, jesus christ.” you gavin-frederick-looking doofus, maybe the cold air on your bare midriff is making you irritable, but a quick google search shows that ‘regular’ is a widely accepted synonym for ‘medium.’ however, it was not so much that phe had never been to another place that put liquids in different sized cups as it was that he was distasteful of me perhaps having been to them. i got the sense that he felt me to be a business schmo who was too versed in the lingo of the corporate shops to wrench myself free and pay phim the martyr’s wage phe deserved.

i dont like starbucks either bro! that is why i came here instead of going directly across the street. i dont know how you could treat anyone with that brand of disdain when the choice they have made is so preposterously evident. such is the paradox of the tragically hip. dont think i dont understand it bro. it is too bad for the rest of us that halcyon around the corner closed down. now every time i see that bowlcut through the window i will have to just go back to my room and make a cup in the autodrip machine stored in the wardrobe.

addendum: apparently halcyon is only closed for 1 month. phew!!!
