wow — huge response! this is a tough one to call. i’m gonna give it to rob c, for this one, which you have to read out loud using a ricardo montalban “rich corinthian leather” voice:

email me what book you want, rob c!
My owner pays 4 bucks for a cup of coffee and all I get is this stupid cup??? What gives???
The new Emergent Contemplative Prayer Movement:
So Easy even a Dog can do it!
Beats the heck out of dog food!
Almost got the last drop!
Fill my cup Lord!
Here’s to all of us youth ministers that just get so doggone tired of dealing with unconcerned youth parents–cheers!
I paid 4 bucks for this, and I’m getting every last drop!
Is starbucks going to the dogs?
With the recent Recall Rover decided to take matters to his own paws.
or rather Katie decided to take matters to her own paws …
This is much better than what I was sniffing yesterday morning……
“Rut-row Shaggy!”
Starbucks stock plummets 40 points after the logo lady decides to leave the company over harassment charges. When interviewed she stated, “I’ve been mishandled for over a decade by homo sapiens, but this one takes the coffee! I’m done! Back to my first love…the whale.
“I’m not gonna miss the all-night “Benji Movie Marathon.”
“…and then at the last second, I’ll jump out and scare the crap out of them! They’ll never see it coming. Man, this cup cave thing was genius. Too easy.”
“I can quit any time I want. Seriously, I can just walk away. I swear.”
“This year for Halloween, I’m dressing up like a street corner.”
Proof of Evolution: with the jaw no longer necessary for the consumption of daily needs, the new, more highly evolved canines developed the “cup” to survive in the post-Starbucks age.
“If they thought my breath smelled bad before…”
Prompting Starbucks to expand their CAUTION phrase: contents may be HOT, and nostrils CAN get wedged in this container.
It’s snot funny.
Katie the Ostrich-Dog buries her head in the grounds.
Man no longer dog’s best friends… friends don’t let friends drink starbucks
Katie thought she was being interviewed for a documentary about addiction…
Having a firm footing among the human market Starbucks branches out into new markets. Today dogs, tommorow babies.
If I get enough caffeine, then I can catch my tail!!! Only five more grandes to go!!
After celebrating Thirty Years with YS – someone had went in the ole archives and found a picture of Tic Long with Hair …
CONTEST CLOSED!
see winner at the bottom of the post. thanks, all, for participating!
The winning comment almost seems like a VH1 “Where are they now?” segment…. :)
I liked “The shame of caffeine addiction.” It’s short, sweet, and simple, and says so much.
