this and that

the christmas blend starbucks bag of beans is a keeper. i've always cursed starbucks and vowed never to spend any of my hard earned cash there so when i used a gift card that was given to me at xmas i was expecting the worst but surprise, surprise; i like it! it tastes excellent freshly brewed and served in a china coffee mug. i can never understand how people would pay big money to drink coffee out of a paper cup. good thing i invested the whole gift card in beans and picked up 4 bags.

watching deadwood last night i heard my favorite deadwood quote:

andy, a former degenerate gambler, announced to e.b. farnum that he is no longer a degenerate gambler but is now preaching the gospel and ministering to the sick.

farnum replies - "and how does the new racket pay?" god bless e.b.!

i finally met a pop up ad that i liked. i'm sure everyone hates pop up ads but yesterday a pop up ad was like a message from heaven. an ad popped up for an adidas sale. i've been looking for new pair of adidas sneakers for quite a while but haven't had any success so i clicked on the ad and presto, i found the sneakers i've been looking for. i got a pair of stan smith sneakers half price!! lucky me. i'll be even luckier when and if they arrive. so i got that going for me too, which is real nice.

how about a little fiddle music:



i wonder if people smoke pot at andy rieu's concerts. i'd rather see andy rieu than any rock star. i must be getting old.

i love you sons of bitches.

My coffee mug say's, "I'M SURROUNDED BY FUCKIN' IDIOTS.

And I don't wear sneakers so I have that going for me also.

You fucker, are you bating me? You know that I would never buy Adidas sneakers, only fools buy them.

Hello! Billy?! Is that you? Wow--what a new year can bring! Adidas and Starbucks. But don't go near Bank of America (which. Just thought I'd give you fair warning. Terrible service. Doesn't fit well at all. ;)

bill - don't wear sneakers? fuck, you must be older than you look. and you look real old!

the stan smith adidas are the old style made of soft leather, very comfortable. not like the new fake leather that's stiff and cheap.

jayne - i couldn't find any soft comfortable new balance sneakers so it's back to the old faithfuls. feats don't fail me now.

Actual the only time I go in Starbucks is when my one client does her shopping. I tired there blond roast today.
But I have to give there lemon loaf 5 star rating but I sure can't do that on there coffee.
If your wondering why I'm in Starbucks as my client is doing her shopping. Our Safeway has a Starbucks in it.

I'm surprised a canny fellow like you buys Addidas sneakers. Don't you have to pay extra for the brand name? I'm sure a Chinese merchant could get you the same product at a lower price.

Seeing those women in the video work those instruments in that back and forth fashion with their bare hands caused me to sport wood. Later, after finding pleasure with my own two hands, I had to smoke a blunt and drink some Christmas Starbucks coffee to gain my strength back.

What a blessed post. Thank you!

I've never liked sneakers, they don't last long in my line of work, kicking the shit out of idiots.

peppy - our local starbucks stores just announced that they won't be using a local baker anymore. they're going with some large outfit and a lot of local coffee drinkers are pissed.

gb - i don't scrimp when it comes to my feet. i use them every day and sore feet really slow me down.

kelly - annie from treme whould look good beside andre. thanks for the blessing.

bill - you use your boots when you need to kick the crap out of something or someone and use the sneakers when you need speed or want to impress the ladies.

every woman crazy bout a sharp dressed man!

BBC said...

No speed in me anymore, just an attitude with a gun.

arf!

Oh oh, just noticed that I have a pair of sneakers, but never think to wear them. And this time of year I like my insulated ass kicking boots.

Quite an upbeat post today! I'll have what you're smoking, please. Wish I could get Deadwood, but it'll come available on my streaming video service eventually.

Mr. Shife said...

Deadwood is so awesome. I need to re-watch that show when I get some down time. Have a great weekend, BP, and hope those new shoes treat you well.

I love Starbucks but I never get real coffee. I always just get yummy stuff like frappuccinos.

I, too, got a Starbucks gift card for Christmas and had used it up within a few days.

And who would've thought that a pop-up ad could be useful for something?
