Starbooks

[MASCARO at humnet.ucla.edu]

It seems dreadfully clear that everyone on this list named "Chris" (except for the one and 
only Chrissie. but not THAT Chrissie; that Chrissie) suffers from the increasingly 
common condition known as "Starbook's Syndrome" caused by too much bulk corporate 
coffee and reading matter.  The only cure is "Balzac's Gambit," which consists of drying, 
roasting, grinding, brewing and drinking, on your own, about 11 quarts a night, as the 
Great Man did, until you die, as he did.

I *like* starbucks.  You get reliably excellent coffee there.  Better coffee
than at all my local "independent" coffeeshops, who buy beans once a year
from unscrupulous traders over the phone and let them get rancid.  They pay
their employees better than independent places, too.  What I don't like is
all the crap they sell in their stores.
