At the Heart of an Evil Empire...


I've been meaning to post this up since spring break but I haven't gotten the chance to nab the picture from my dad's computer till now. No its not an illusion. I actually am in a Starbucks, holding a Starbucks cup, and not gagging. For those of you who know me you know very well that I find most coffee disgusting. I said most cause Daphne would belt me upside the head for not saying that I actually enjoy some coffee flavored chocolates. Anyway, I normally wouldn't set foot in one of these places but, over spring break, I had to make an exception. I did this for one reason and one reason only. I found the evil empire's core, the center of its being, its very birthplace. It just so happens to be situated in an out of the way area of Pike's Market in Seattle. We had heard rumor of its location on a tour and, as I was traveling with my dad, we had to go looking for it. My eyes did narrow and my face did frown when I spotted it. My dad, ever the tourist, had to go in and get a drink. Not coffee mind you, only applecider, but it came in a coffee cup and that was close enough. And faster then I could say "Death to Coffee" he had me holding his cup in front of the origional sign(notice the girl's got tits in the origional) and snapping a picture, to my everlasting shame. Too bad I didn't have the time to snear. I think it would have added the perfect touch to the moment.

BWAHAHAHAHA! I told you to check it out - I see that you are after all one who considers it to be evil - but you did it anyway! It is indeed a historic moment. The original was probably a great place before it went all chain-y anyway.

Anyhow... *snicker*
