I am not a coffee drinker. I don’t like the smell or the taste. (I am however told, that the latter does not necessarily cause the former)<\/p>\n
This being said… I missed the entire $tarbuck$ revolution. I am being edumacated slowly by a very, VERY patient elocinnuala<\/a>. Yesterday, I learned what a 20 oz Americana with split shots is.<\/p>\n But, still, there are certain games I just can’t play. I like the idea of: But… things like “Venti”… No, I just have a problem using arbitrary language to sound fashionable. I didn’t use “Moi”, I didn’t get into Le Car… <\/p>\n Descriptive adjectives shouldn’t be turned into marketing terms.<\/p>\n After dealing with one truly Perky barista who told me that 20oz was Venti, this morning.. I sat in the car. I said to shimmeringjemmy<\/a><\/p>\n No, Venti isn’t a size. Venti is what moves the air-y through the house-y.<\/p>\n Which is amusing and ironic concerning one of the last pearls or writing I read last night. (Yes, I’m reading a book, try not to faint)<\/p>\n Quoth YT in SnowCrash: (Book<\/a>, Text<\/a>) Why, yes.. I am trying to post more often and substantially.<\/p>\n
\nSmall, Medium, and Large. I’m even okay with going beyond large and small.
\nGranted.. if you have an even number of sizes… drop the medium.<\/p>\n
