You see, my father, who will not drink my mother's coffee (he compares it to road tar) used to sit in the little area they had and drink coffee while moms would shop. Well, he's tried the free sample, and is not impressed. I think the truth is, they cannot fathom spending that much for a cup o' joe. It's kind of a bummer for me though, as it would be priceless to see my pops wearing his brand new Motorhead t-shirt I bought him (saw mine, liked the logo, has no clue who Lemmy is-dad prefers George Jones), drinking a frappuccino, and chatting up the office temp honeys on their lunch breaks. 18779@blogcritics.org Mon, 15 Sep 2003 12:45:51 EDT http://blogcritics.org/archives/2003/09/15/015148.php#comment-18765 Very nice Jackson, thanks and welcome!
