Dunkin Donuts kicks Starbucks ass -- nm - ty97 Nov 24, 22:54 5
- I haven't had five cups of coffee in my life. I wonder what percentage of adults can say that. -- nm - David Nov 24, 23:15 1
  - I can't recall the last time I didn't have 5 cups or more in the morning, so I guess I make it up in the averages for your slacking -- nm - zeitgeist Nov 24, 23:46
- I've had their coffee, I wasn't impressed. -- nm - Stacy Nov 24, 23:14 1

I'm rather shocked at how quickly the series of tubes works now when it comes to altering a domain. Just changed the anime penes site to a parking - Qale Nov 24, 22:49
*sigh* I hit my bandwidth limit for the month, and now I have 6 days of 64kbps. - mafic Nov 24, 22:23 8
- Have you heard the new Ace of Base? It's great! -- nm - Cuzzin Todd Nov 24, 22:54
- where the hell do they have a tap limit per month? -- nm - zeitgeist Nov 24, 22:31 4

  - ~advance australia fair~ - mafic Nov 24, 22:34
  - Where in the World is Mafic?!? -- nm - oblique Nov 24, 22:34 1
    - hopefully (relatively) stationary for a couple years. - mafic Nov 24, 22:43
- My DSL modem's power converter died on me so for a couple days I'm left with my phone's 3G speed at home. -- nm - Ender Nov 24, 22:30 1
  - the 3G (they call it "nextG") dongle is what I normally use, but here it's about as fast as dsl. -- nm - mafic Nov 24, 22:33
i like that there is actually a "how to" article on using your feminine wiles -- (link) - giganto Nov 24, 22:06 10
- how does this help you and how susceptible are you? - 'lia Nov 24, 22:38 4
  - you can't defend against that of which you are unaware - giganto Nov 24, 22:44 1
    - * looks down at mostly consumed container* dayum he was fast! - 'lia Nov 24, 22:49
  - and most importantly, why was he looking? -- nm - loosilu Nov 24, 22:39 1
    - ssshhhhh - 'lia Nov 24, 22:43
- So you got all that? -- nm - Mop Nov 24, 22:28
- it's boobs, right? -- nm - kraken Nov 24, 22:09 3
  - the article sez: "a warm, natural smile and a low and gentle speaking voice." -- nm - giganto Nov 24, 22:10 2
    - don't forget strong intelligence and good manners. -- nm - b! Nov 24, 22:13
    - maybe boobs are for amateurs. -- nm - mafic Nov 24, 22:13
Holiday blend is out at Starbucks.... -- nm - Stacy Nov 24, 21:43 53
- according to my friend who used to manage a Starbucks, holiday blend is just whatever's been selling the worst lately. -- nm - mafic Nov 24, 22:11 14
  - no its a special blend of coffee with spices that only ocmes out from Thanksgiving to New Years. It is in low supply and sells out quite quickly - Stacy Nov 24, 22:14 13
    - link -- (link) - Stacy Nov 24, 22:17
    - unless they've changed from years past: there aren't any spices, it has spicy notes.-- nm - b! Nov 24, 22:16 2
      - "it becomes spicy..." from the bag (see inside) - Stacy Nov 24, 22:26 1
        
        right. those are notes, not actual spices. :) - -- nm - b! Nov 24, 22:27
    - my point is the "special blend" is just whatever they had the most stock of. - mafic Nov 24, 22:16 7
      - actually its the same price as the 12 oz. bag you buy at the grocery store of the other blends so actually its cheaper. -- nm - Stacy Nov 24, 22:18 6
        
        yah? they used to charge extra for the special ones. -- nm - b! Nov 24, 22:21 3
        
        well the Christmas Blend is more I think but both are 16 oz. bags. -- nm - Stacy Nov 24, 22:30 1
        
        i give up. :) - -- nm - b! Nov 24, 22:35
        
        fwiw, they do charge a premium vs. regular on their website. nm but: -- (link) - b! Nov 24, 22:23
        
        fair enough. I'm just saying don't be fooled by the special blend part. -- nm - mafic Nov 24, 22:20 1
        
        best to leave it. -- nm - loosilu Nov 24, 22:21
    - straight from Nigeria -- nm - giganto Nov 24, 22:15
- Isn't that like three months too late? ;) -- nm - Cuzzin Todd Nov 24, 21:47 3
  - no Thanksgiving to New Years -- nm - Stacy Nov 24, 21:47 2
    - I was trying to comment on how from a retail perspective it seems "the holidays start earlier and ear... ehhhh, nevermind. -- nm - Cuzzin Todd Nov 24, 21:55 1
      - gotcha :) -- nm - Stacy Nov 24, 21:56
- i have yet to procure my first gingerbread latte of the season. so restrained and, also, virtuous! (eh, maybe tomorrow.) -- nm - b! Nov 24, 21:47 32
  - OMG! they don't have sugar free this year! -- nm - loosilu Nov 24, 22:07 5
    - I usually ask for easy on the flavoring -- nm - con_carne Nov 24, 23:03
    - they didn't last year, either (at least here). that's one reason for my virtuosity thus far. -- nm - b! Nov 24, 22:10 3
      - I don't remember last year. -- nm - loosilu Nov 24, 22:21
      - pure as the driven slush - giganto Nov 24, 22:11 1
        
        I am just that dirty. -- nm - b! Nov 24, 22:14
  - stay strong, lady! -- nm - starving african orphan Nov 24, 21:50 25
    - okfine, none of my mom's most excellent stuffing for you. -- nm - b! Nov 24, 21:59 3
      - i guess i'll just settle for a handful of rice, like every year -- nm - starving african orphan Nov 24, 22:02 1
        
        go earn it for yourself. nm but: -- (link) - b! Nov 24, 22:04
      - pfffft... Do it. Have yourself a huge gingergerbread latte. Treat yourself. -- nm - Cuzzin Todd Nov 24, 22:02
    - There MUST be a Starbucks near you too - they're freakin' EVERYWHERE. -- nm - Cuzzin Todd Nov 24, 21:52 20
      - I'm 1,000 miles from the nearest Starbucks (and for once this is without being 1,000 miles from the nearest city). - mafic Nov 24, 22:14 1
        
        hmmm . . . "The Starbucks Kid" -- nm - giganto Nov 24, 22:15
      - oh sure, but i'd have to work 25 years to be able to afford one -- nm - starving african orphan Nov 24, 21:58 17
        
        They intimidate me. Seems like there should be some kind of instruction manual on how/what to order. -- nm - MojaveMeg Nov 24, 22:01 12
        
        heh, some of the coffee houses I went to back in the pre-starbucks days (god, that was a long time ago) were much worse. - mafic Nov 24, 22:28 6
        
        re: im - I looked that up some time ago when it came up elsewhere. - b! Nov 24, 22:32 5
        
        see, this kind of conflicts with my experience of them. most flat whites have foam (but less than a latte), and generally one shot of espresso - mafic Nov 24, 22:39 2
        
        way too complicated, and that's not even including sizes. :) - -- nm - b! Nov 24, 22:44 1
        
        the sizes are pretty normal, but there could easily be regional differences. - mafic Nov 25, 02:02
        
        vanilla bean has no coffee my nephew loves them. -- nm - Stacy Nov 24, 22:36 1
        
        I was talking about an Australian thing. here. nm but: -- (link) - b! Nov 24, 22:39
        
        I order S/M/L. screw the italian sizing. -- nm - loosilu Nov 24, 22:23
        
        we can do this...lets figure out what you like and you can have your order ready before you go in the store :) -- nm - Stacy Nov 24, 22:03
        
        they used to have flyers along those lines in their stores. haven't noticed them for a while, though. there are some guides on the web. nm but: -- (link) - b! Nov 24, 22:03
        
        I refuse to order "tall" or "grande" when there. Medium. I'll have a medium. -- nm - Cuzzin Todd Nov 24, 22:03 1
        
        I order 12 oz drip. Whatever that store's sizing system, they'll get it. -- nm - psilotum Nov 24, 22:13
        
        It's important to have a goal. Otherwise all you do is lay around with a distended stomach all day whining about being hungry. -- nm - Cuzzin Todd Nov 24, 22:01 3
        
        isn't that what you do all day? -- nm - loosilu Nov 24, 22:39
        
        don't forget letting the flies crawl all over my face, especially near my eyes -- nm - starving african orphan Nov 24, 22:01 1
        
        and the mosquitos with malaryia... -- nm - Stacy Nov 24, 22:04
- plus you get a special CD with new U@ and Dave Mathews Band on it, and I got a free Venti LAtte :) -- nm - Stacy Nov 24, 21:46
I don't get it, why are tracks from the previous Lady Gaga cd on the new cd? -- nm - James Bond (aka Igor) Nov 24, 21:38 2
- it's touched on here. nm but: -- (link) - b! Nov 24, 21:42 1
  - I see.. thanks -- nm - James Bond (aka Igor) Nov 24, 21:45
it's Grey Cup Week! fun CFL fact of the day -- Labatt's Blue is named in honor of the Winnipeg Blue Bombers -- nm - giganto Nov 24, 21:38 3
- the stupid bar here that shows international sports won't put the grey cup on (or maybe can't, all I know is it won't be on). -- nm - mafic Nov 24, 22:31
- Winnipeg & CFL Piggyback Fact: Peter King of SI attended the '91 Grey Cup in Winnipeg made famous for Rocket Ismail's 97-yard kick return. -- (link) - Name Withheld By Request Nov 24, 21:48 [youtube] 1

    - The girlfriend is hot, I just don't buy the chemistry between them... -- nm - Stephen Nov 24, 21:37 1
      - I only vaguely recall her - haven't watched the last few episodes. -- nm - Cuzzin Todd Nov 24, 21:43
  - But her girlfriend is. -- nm - David Nov 24, 21:27 1
    - This is true, Amita is indeed hot. -- nm - Stephen Nov 24, 21:31
