Is there no end to the trampling underfoot of cherished traditions by Starbuckians and their ilk? Or could it be that in fact the sainted anthora is falling from grace because most of the people who sell take-out coffee are NOT "happy to serve you"? Perhaps the cup could be saved if the message was replaced with one more representative of the vendors true feelings: e.g. "Next!" or "Here's your coffee now get out", or "This is how we do it when you ask for "regular"". There's at least one website where anthora lovers can buy their own stock of the iconic coffee cups and I think that MoMA sells an exact duplicate in porcelain, and someone once produced a clever little zipper change purse that looked exactly like an anthora cub that had been crushed underfoot. I have visions of a trader in synthetic derivatives reaching into one of these to give a quarter to a homeless person who became that way thanks to the mortgage scams.upstate Johnny Gnoreply@blogger.com
