[pct-l] Coffee again

[cvano at tmail.com]

So I did a face plant Friday and landed inside a Starbucks.  Not hard to 
do in Washington.  Anyway, as I was already there I decided to make it 
my annual visit and get a Pepppermint Mocha which is only available this 
time of year.  There was a woman in front of me, you know the type, 
drove an SUV, white jacket with faux fur, blond, skin tight jeans faded 
just ever so, christmas socks, clanky jewlery.  She ordered this drink.  
I had to ask the barista 4 times what she ordered so I could write it 
down.  You know, the barista, the girl that makes the coffee, 19, pink 
hair, several tattoos with a ring in her nose and a diamond in her lip.  
Anyway, I have to share this drink.  Double decaf, non-fat, half soy, 
140 degree, upside down, no foam, caramel macchiato.  WTF is that?  The 
barista didn't bat an eye.  I looked at this woman like she was from 
Mars.  She stuck her nose in the air at me.  Must have been my wiskers.  
But white wiskers and a big belly are in style this time of year!  Maybe 
its cause I wasn't wearing a red jacket.  Anyway, when I ordered a cup 
of perculated Folgers with milk from a moo cow, the barista looked at me 
like I was from Mars.  I couldn't decide who was sexier, this woman in 
the SUV, the barista, or the three trannies at the first table.  Well, 
they didn't have my coffee!  So I ordered my large (got several funny 
looks) peppermint mocha.  'Whipped?'  'Huh?'  'You want whipped?'  'Uh, 
no thanks.  I'm not into pain'  Got my drink for only $7.00 plus tip and 
drank it in the truck.  Hey, wanna hike over to the Starbucks?  I know 
how to order a cup of coffee there!

Beyond this point
There be dragons...
